A few shots around KONT

Featured Replies

Got confused by this at first sight. Ontario? 'K'-something? Well, you live and learn. Probably been to it several times over the years as the whole Palm Springs to LA trip has always been a fave for me in the various iterations of P3D and XP I've used, and I often just stop at any airport on that route that takes my fancy on the day. Just never really registered that's what this one was called.

Nice bit of scenery, both the airport itself and the surrounding area.

I thought this was supposed to be a FLIGHT simulator, not a PALM simulator (just thought I'd beat anybody else to that comment). Nicely done, aren't they?

I've been praising the light and atmospherics in XP12 recently, but this sure ain't too shabby either! Love that 'big sky' vibe around this part of the world.

Interiors are nicely modelled but unpopulated, which is a shame

I really like this shot. Ok, on one level it's just a set of doors, but to my eyes (and btw, I just had both done for cataract removal / new lenses so the sim looks even more amazing to me than ever) that view outside just feels incredibly realistic. Go back to P3D / XP10 and you'd never even imagine this could be possible.

I did take a load more on a quick flight around the surrounding area. Might post a few later. I'd definitely recommend this airport. Even more with animated or even static pixel folk.

Fantastic shots, Andy. It's really amazing, how far we have come with our sim.

Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds

Wonderful tour. Always amazed by how you find the most unique shots. Great to have fresh eyes on the subject.

Excellent shots Andy! 😉
