Lubbock - none flatter!

Welcome to Lubbock, heart of the West Texas Alpine District.

Home of the big sky, by the looks of things. I feel a Who moment coming on ("I can see for miles, and miles, and miles and miles . . .")

Boy, that's flat ! We have a saying in Northern Germany: it's so flat here that you can already see on Wednesday, who will be visiting you on Sunday 🙂

...🙂...the word "Alpine" may be bit of an overstatement...Andy... (I resided in Austin (TX) for several years...pretty flat too...but look who is talking now living in the midwest...🙂...)

Anyway, a very nice set of pics and, of course, I like your choice of plane...

Cheers, Bernd! Love that saying, plus of course it also implies you've got plenty of time to get away if you don't want to see them!

Cheers PMP and P! All a bit of an accidental discovery. I'd logged on to IniManager for the A600 update, and spotted KLBB for sale there as a new release. All I knew about Lubbock was Buddy Holly so I thought I'd grab a copy and take a look round. Glad I did, I like these wide open flatlands, and I shall go back and have a low level cruise around and see what I can discover. It's often surprising what little detail gems are out in these places. And I am geting to be quite fond of the PC-12s and TBMs these days, along with the FSR 500. All in all, pretty happy with the sim at the moment.

Having lived and worked near this area for a few years before escaping back to civilization (DFW), definitely nothing “Alpine” about it 😆 More like cotton fields and oil wells for miles (sprinkle a few wind turbines here and there). Great scenery though, nice to see our state getting covered. 👌
