May 22, 20233 yr By accident I recently found at the .to site a fantastic free scenery add-on for various places in and around Manila (I have lived and worked there for many years, hence the interest in this particular area). I have been flying there now for the last couple of days and this scenery is a true gem. Here is just a small selection of pics I have taken. The next time I will go there by boat, should be even more interesting. So, be aware my next thread will have nothing to do with planes 🙂 🙂 Should you be interested, here is a link to that scenery: https://flightsim.to/file/36897/philippines-manila-bay-enhancement-project Thanks for viewing Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
May 22, 20233 yr Quite unique scenery, and you've given it the presentation it deserves. Can almost feel the warm breezes under those waving palms. Looking forward to Part 2.
May 22, 20233 yr Only been to Manila airport. Try to avoid it whenever I can. One of the few times that Flightsim gives a better experience than real-life.

None of the crowds, none of that "take your shoes off" malarkey etc. And if I want to wander round Heathrow or LA in my dressing gown, scratching my bits as I go, I can do so without fear of offending anyone or getting arrested (horrible image, I know, but that's my point <grin>) 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.
