Any favourite routes anyone can recommended for spectacular  scenery up to about an hour in duration? 

🙂 
 

1) You gotta fly over your house in VR and that to in Comanche + VR

2) One of my favorite routes is flying into DCA via the Potomac river and going over DC monuments etc.  (the other way around doesn't have that good views).  Though dusk/evening views are spectacular with the streetlights and what not.

3) Pilotedge ZLA area + VR (I know it is not a plan but man, it is awesome realism experience)

 

Anywhere you find spectacular in 2d would probably work in 3d……?

Couple days ago I flew from 1S2 to KSEA in X-Cub. After taking off from 1S2 I climbed and circled around those steep mountains right next to the airport and the view and feeling are absolutely spectacular. Seeing the mountain edges moving away revealing the valley/plain behind is just like a movie shot. 

Then I flew west then south along the coast line, again the view is breathtaking. The gradual change of landscape from mountains to plains, from rural to suburban to metropolitan Seattle feels great, with all those rich, minute but almost exquisite details on the ground presented in G2 (although only within its tiny sweet spot).

When I approaching KSEA, the airport was busy with airliners taking off and landing (MSFS default traffic). I overflew the airport, joined the downwind runway 16L. While extending my downwind beyond the runway end, I was looking down on a Delta flight 737 on short final 16L. At that moment, I got this astonishing sense just how the whole thing felt every bit like my fights in Cessna in real life. EPIC, that's the only word I could think of. 

Right at that moment, I initiated my left turn to base, and, MSFS crashed.. 💀

Did this today, loved it , thanks 😎

Great to know that you enjoyed the flight. I'm still ironing out the CTD issue in my VR flights. It seems be improving though ...
