August 7, 20241 yr Orbx recently released 2WA1, Diamond Point airstrip, one of my favs from the FSX days. I meant to fly a relaxing flight there without showing any pics but sometimes I just start snapping them and can't stop haha! So here's a few flight pics combined with some nice pics of the airstrip - you can decide if you'd purchase it or not - its about 13 USD. The Cirrus paint is from me and I don't typically show off my own paints but I really liked this one 🙂 Departing 13W Camano Island (freeware) takeoff3 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr Grabbing flight following at 1,500 from Whidbey approach control untitled-1 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr It's a short flight today but we're meeting some friends untitled-2 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr Passing over Oak Harbor KOKH Untitled-4 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr Looking north-ish towards Orcas Island Untitled-5 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr My SR22T will make short work of the trip at about 170 ktas - though we were advised to avoid A-680 KNRA Untitled-6 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr The lovely view south towards seatac and Mt Rainier Untitled-7 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr Can't mistake it, Protection Island and Diamond Point Untitled-8 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr Untitled-9 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr 2WA1 is a private airfield and requires a PPR if you're not a member, before landing Untitled-9 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr Untitled-10 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr We're in the know though...

August 9, 20241 yr Ryan is the only screenshot artist who also paints his planes, literally. Also, wondering why no one commented so far when your one of the top five screenshot posters in quality? Darryl
August 9, 20241 yr Fantastic shots, Ryan and I can fully understand, why you like that paint of yours. Btw, I like it too 😃 Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
August 11, 20241 yr Yes, I recall this airport from FSX days, Ryan... Lovely set...the land class textures in your images look crisp and very well-rendered... [OK to show-off this sparkling silver/blue repaint...🙂...it looks really sharp and beautiful on the Cirrus...]
