Night Shots over NYC

Featured Replies

I decided to grab some night shots during my flight from 4B8 to KMMU in New Jersey.

Off to my left is Newark (also my first serious night flight on the new PC - it looked real)

Very nice and quite realistic. 

Thanks for sharing.

Love these. Particularly as I used to fly out MMU and CDW. Great shots!

Have you picked up the CDW scenery in the marketplace?  It looks decent enough - I've just been spending too much lately haha.  I haven't grabbed it yet.

I have not yet!

I'm (irrationally) holding off so I can have my GA and Tubes in the same sim! 

My old flight training parking was off of taxiway Charlie. I hope I can find it!

If you get the CDW, please post some shots of it!

I might hehe.  Since you've flown this area...how do these shots look for realism?  I know they're not uber bright lights for amazing screeeenshotz - but I thought they overall looked realistic.

Being an area of low importance, the scenes are not 1 to 1 comparable to real life. However, it is a good overall representation. The lights are kinda right but a little off.

I like how the highways are visible. For example, the vectors to CDW from EWR should have taken you over route 3/46. (Route 46 was in the Sopranos. If you saw the episode when Tony was buying the tombstone, that's less than 10 miles from the airport).

The lights to your left as you turned west from EWR are puzzling to me. As someone who lived and worked in the area, I'm trying to see where that is. There is no grid pattern with dim lights that I know of in that area. It's probably my fault, but I don't think there are lights like that.

Weequahic Park (west of EWR's 11/29 runway) and I would have liked to see what the lights look like at that park. 

Overall. I think it's very good IMO!
