July 18, 20241 yr Don't go to Japan often enough. Some great scenery out there, plus as usual I have loads of addons for the place. A quick circuit around the whole Kyobe, Osaka Bay and Kyoto area, starting out from RJBE and returning to RJBB just the other side of the bay. Both airports built on reclaimed land, and both very nicely modelled here. I got them from SimMarket but they might be available elsewhere as well. The whole are looks fascinating, and strangely beautiful, in the sim, but the density of everything there would drive me crazy in real life. But I had a very pleasant few hours exploring in the sim, which is the whole point for me. Managed to just pick out just twenty shots from the 300 or so I grabbed! Here's the route taken And I can heartily recommend a visit! Both RJBE and RJBB are beautifully modelled in these addons, which is one of the reasons I ended up with hundreds of pix. Loads to explore. Turning round to head back up over Kyobe City and then on up to Kyoto I had interrupted the replay to do real life stuff and obviously had a different time set when I resumed, hence the change of lighting here Samscene's Kyobe Heading up over Kyoto now And that's the old Imperial Palace down there. I did take the drone down and have a nose round and it's quite well done. Worth exploring. Turning round to return back towards RJBB RJBB up ahead. Planning to go past and then turn around the headland and come in from the seaward side Another fine airport to explore but I'm trying to curb my habit of posting tons of detailed pix, or at least on a circuit like this So there you are, one little tour of one little corner of Japan. And as usual it just leaves me thinking I'll have to come back with the Paramotor or KA-10 or similar and explore more slowly. I understand the whole thing about "it's a small world!" and how that works, but the amazing thing about MSFS is that it shows you that it really isn't a small world, in fact it's pretty big, and it's all available to explore in great detail now.

July 18, 20241 yr A grand Grand Tour! Just thinking about all the varied and dense topography (and excellent satellite imagery) of Japan makes me realize it could take ages to thoroughly explore even a few chunks of it. (Only been to the Osaka area in MSFS so far, myself.) And then to think there's still the whole rest of the world to fly over...will definitely have to stop and draw the line somewhere. 🙂 Edited July 18, 20241 yr by John F
July 18, 20241 yr Great pics Andy. 👏 That plane looks a lot like the Fokker 70. I had a Fokker 70 in FS9 but can't use it anymore due to Win10 incompatibility. 🤷♂️ [Pc Intel i3-4160 3,6 GHz, 8 GB di RAM, GeForce RTX-3060 12 GB, Win10 Home 64 bit]
