Nice screenies, F_7878! I don't know why, but when I fly into Berlin or Paris I don't experience any drop in FPS. Only when I go into Lonfon, they go down. Maybe, just maybe, them Brits don't want us strangers there 😃😃

Great shots, Andi! Is that the plane done by Mike Wilson?

Nice pics, now the next pics have to show you doing STOL landing on the roof of the steamer 🤠

Hahaha, not in this plane

Thanks for commenting PM, Andy and Jean Marc !

Great shots PM. And now try to fly under the bridge - with a Caravan that would be quite a sensation...

If there is one person, who could do that, it would be Jack, Gerold. But only if the plane is yellow 😃😃

It’s nice to come across this old paddle steamer on Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, which was built in 1928. In 2021 it has re-entered public service after having been fully renovated. This took over 80,000 hours of labor and cost some 13 mio CHF or Euro.

The ugly green tint to much of the world in MSFS has led me to use the Map Enhancement Tool. Google is mostly much better than default, although it too has awful colouring in many city areas.  

I use the latest edition of Bing instead of Google and I found it, at least when flying in Continental Europe, a bit better. But I guess it all depends on the specific area where you plan to fly 🙂 

Great comparison shots, PM !!

MD-11 for me, no question. Prime rib vs "you want fries with that?" to my eyes.

😃😃

Wonderful shots, Will and lots of different liveries to look at. Looking forward to your second part. 

Excellent screenies, PM, as always. Interesting not to see you flying a tube 😃

Thanks a lot, Peter, UrgentSiesta and Will !!

Many thanks for your kind comments, gents !

Do you know what these balck spots in #4 were? UFOs?

Not UFOs Gerold, just large birds 🙂

I take off from the Freiburg airport. The city can trace its origins back to the 12^th century

Above the Feldberg. With 1,493 meters (4,898 ft) it’s the highest mountain in the Black Forest

Above the Titisee, a smallish lake in the Black Forest. It covers an area of 1.3 square km (320 acres) and is an average of 20 m (66 ft) deep

I have now reached Lake Constance

This 45 hectares island in Lake Constance is maintained as a garden island and a model of excellent environmental practices. It is one of the main tourist attractions of Lake Constance. Beside flowers there is a park landscape with views on the lake. There is also a large greenhouse with a tropical climate and thousands of butterflies. It is a little bit like the 22 hectares Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island

Getting closer to my destination Friedrichshafen

Thanks for viewing

Fantastic shots, Darryl !!

Then install it finally Bernd 🙂, at that price it's worth it.

Thanks Andi. It's not the money that concerns me. I have MSFS, XP11 and IL-2 installed and I think I have some 4 to 5 TB of orthos installed for XP11. Yet I find myself flying almost exclusively in MSFS. Maybe I am just too lazy 😃😃

Glad to see Aerofly is still alive

I just love your comments, Andy. You seem to have a dry humour, which I like. And your screenies are superb! Btw, what's Bollinga Champagne? I only know Bollinger, which was 007's favourite. 😃

Brilliant shots, Andy. I haven't tried that yet, but me thinks I ought to test it too 🙂

Andi, I have the Microsoft version for my PC

Fantastic shot, Andi !!

I think the odd plane looks quite interesting and advanced, they where great designers in those days....

Thanks Andy. Oh yes they certainly were quite creative (and very adventurous). Problem was that things like engines weren't as reliable as they are today.

What i mean is that msfs over the years caused

a lot more problems than i.e. Xplane,

That's too bad, I rarely had any issues with MSFS since it came out. And like you I also had no problems with XP11 at all. I don't have XP12, as I have moved over to MSFS. Maybe I'm just lucky, I guess 🙂

Excellent shots and the plane is not even dirty 😃

Great shots, Andi ! And good luck finding the culprit soon. Unfortunately our flight simulators have never been an "Install it and enjoy it" exercise 😡

Superb trip and great shots, P_7878 !!
