January 24, 20215 yr Nice VFR flight in the 172 G1000 from KMTN near Baltimore. Flight featured an excellent series of six addon bridges that each cross the Delaware River from near Wilmington, Delaware, to just north of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These bridges were all created by "mngydg" and are available on Flightsim.to. The bridges begin with the Delaware Memorial Bridge on I-95 that crosses the river from Delaware to New Jersey. The bridges continue up the river in sequence: Commodore Barry Bridge (note the Subaru Soccer Stadium adjacent to the bridge); Walt Whitman Bridge; Ben Franklin Bridge; Betsy Ross Bridge; and Talcony-Palmyra Bridge. I have included looks along the way of the Philadelphia Naval Yard; downtown Philadelphia; and Philadelphia Int'l Airport (KPHL).

January 24, 20215 yr Commercial Member Nice shots Frank! I lived in Philly for 12 years (moved 6 years ago), in fact I helped with the SunSkyJet KPHL and surrounding area scenery for FSX and P3D! I also worked at Naval Sea Systems Command (which is actually NAVSESS in Philly) at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard and I thought all the carriers were moved out before I left Philly, so I was suprised to see one there! I remember when the JFK was moved, and seeing Live ATC clips of tower controllers telling airline pilots to "Call the Ball" since the approach to 26 and 27R (normaly arrival runways) went directly over the JFK when they were moving her out! Anyway, very nice shots! Thanks for sharing! Dave Hodges System Specs: I9-13900KF, NVIDIA 4070TI, Quest 3, Multiple Displays, Lots of TERRIFIC friends, 3 cats, and a wonderfully stubborn wife.

The SunSkyJet KPHL mentioned above by Dave is still the best add on airport I have ever used, and it was freeware, not payware. Hope someone does the airport for MSFS. The default MSFS KPHL looks OK only if you have never been there. If you are familiar with the airport it is not that good at all.

January 29, 20215 yr Author If you look at the seventh shot in my post above you will see the Betsy Ross bridge flanked by an ugly rendition of a railroad bridge. The developer of the bridges I shared, "mngydg", has now created that railroad bridge as well. It looks fantastic! Had to share!
