August 19, 20223 yr I don't have the highest opinion of Orbx's stuff generally these days, but the City Packs are usually pretty good, and this is a good one. Heading out from Vpilot's MPTO, which is one of my rare scenery buys from the Marketplace, presumably because it was on offer. And I do like the Kodiak, but I wish all the liveries weren't quite so bright and shiny and new. Just a little bit of dirt or wear would make all the difference. Anyway, the view over the the airport buildings away towards Panama City And away we go Picking up a little bit of drizzle, and a slight rainbow Another showy bit of architecture down below Another Dorothy moment Heading on to swing round up the canal Part of the locks on the Pacific side Heading for the Atlantic side locks now Quite busy within the breakwaters. No idea if they're coming or going And away Edited August 19, 20223 yr by andy1252 incomplete post, typo Ryzen 9 7900X, Corsair H150 AIO cooler, 64 Gb DDR5, Asus X670E Hero m/b, 3090ti, 13Tb NVMe, 8Tb SSD, 16Tb HD, 55" Philips 4k HDR monitor, EVGA 1600w ps, all in Corsair 7000D airflow case.

August 20, 20223 yr Commercial Member An interesting flight. And Kodiak is very interesting when you control the flight with your hands. Unfortunately, I haven't flown it for a long time, I was fascinated by the FSW C414 and the Caravan (Black Square C208 Analog), but your flight reminded me that the Kodiak has been gathering dust in the hangar for a long time. And the next flight I will definitely fly on it. Nick Bebyakin / Handmade cameraset - Ezdok v2 and Ezdok v3 EZdok Software.

I took maybe four times as many shots as I posted, there really is some great scenery around there, both with the Orbx package and just the natural landscape On 8/20/2022 at 8:00 PM, PilotPete99 said: Excellent palindrome. Cheers Pete, one of my faves, but I can't claim originality for it. Can't remember now where or when I first came across it. On 8/20/2022 at 9:38 AM, Nickbe said: An interesting flight.

It's always fun when I do use it, but it is a bit fugly, and it really does always feel way too shiny and new to be convincing, visually.
