Last batch for today. Out of a rather fine freeware Palm Springs (XP11 but ok) en route for KONT, the XP version of their recent and very splendid MSFS product. Actually the XP version is the original and is supposedly XP11, but again, works fine here. All over the very fine TrueEarth SoCal, along what has always been one of my favourite routes in any sim. This first set takes a look around KPSP and then heads off towards KONT, but the arrival will follow in a later set.
We start waiting to go on the runway, but than have a look round the airport
And this is freeware (on the .org forums)
And away. I've been to Palm Springs, but not the airport. One year we gave ourselves a treat and had a few days in San Diego, then drove to Tucson stopping for one night each in Palm Springs and 29 Palms. That was one fine trip.
Just to prove I do go inside sometimes!
Just up ahead there used to be a couple of life sized dinosaurs at some kind of attraction, but I guess they've gone now (but I have some great shots of them from P3D)
I really do think the True Earth stuff was the absolute pinnacle of Orbx's scenery business, which pretty much made it the best anywhere before MSFS came along. Shame that version of the company apparently no longer exists.
And as we approach San Berdoo (as I believe the locals might call it?) that's where we stop this segment of the trip
