July 27, 20232 yr Having just gotten the Mirage and had a quick flight around LDDU, I thought Paris seemed the obvious place to visit. Started out from LFBD for no reason other than it caught my eye on the world map at start time. Heading over Bordeaux itself Heading north. Was originally planning to just cruise up the coast Climbing. Forsaking my usual "low n' slow" Up around 20,000 now I've always liked the look of this family of aircraft After a bit I decided to head for Paris. Possibly couldn't do that for real in terms of fuel etc but I don't do "real", so I pointed it in the vague direction of Paris and left it flying while I did some stuff on my other PC. After about 20 minutes or so I was getting near so dropped down a bit for a better view. I'm encouraged to see how well France seems to be doing converting to electric cars. I assume that's what's happening as those roads down there look pretty green to me <grin> Police headquarters down there? Seems familiar from the "Spiral/Engrenages" TV series OK, let's see if I can get barred from French airspace Easy! I thought about it . . . (done it in slower beasts, but . . .) Thought I'd go and get an eyefull of the Eiffel instead And if you think flashing those lights at me is going to have any effect . . .

July 28, 20232 yr Another great flight with the usual entertianing commentry. France looks really well done but so far I have only meandered around the VFR Nord-Ouest scenery area.
July 31, 20232 yr Great series of shots...the Mirage is a great looking aircraft...and it's fun just to let the plane go wherever you feel like!
August 1, 20232 yr Author @John F, @ikbenik, @Alaska738, @pmplayer, @VH-KDK and @ozcanuck55 - thanks everyone. I've only been doing this simming lark for about eight years or so, but I'm amazed at how far it has all progressed in that time. Never saw the point in the old wire-frame model days, but when the graphics got to be good looking (which for me was MS Flight) I got involved. Unfortunately, just at the time they canned MS Flight! FSX was ok'ish, P3D v2 with the likes of Orbx was when it started to look good again, but now - wow! And we've got a choice of good looking sims too. Magic!
