Over the Alps

I have been busy reinstalling all my European photoreal scenery, and thought I'd share a few shots of me having fun over the French Alps. The scenery is by France VFR.

I started from Grenoble with a B-17:

and swapped it for a King Air:

and changed that for a Jug:

which is a big aircraft, but dwarfed by the scenery:

and then I went for some real excitement:

it wouldn't go any higher, so I had to go around

and where do you land?

Finally, I found the airfield at Serres:

It's fun, the Alps in a Waco!
 
I love my VFR France scenery. In fact, it's probably one of the few add ons I won't replace with Orbx scenery, including the freeware Netherlands scenery which has awesome military air bases.

BTW, nice pics, and I love flying through those canyons when touring the area.
 
Nothing match's photoreal scenery with a mix of your paints .. :cool:<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
 
Great screenshots, Jan. FranceVFR has some awesome sceneries for Europe (have Corsica).
But, er, that thing about swapping a B-17 for a King Air.....:icon_lol:


Cheers,
Mark
 
Wow, stunning screens Jan Kees. Very cinematic.

That Waco looks like awesome fun too... I think I may have just seen my next payware purchase!

Absolutely stunning work! It looks like a movie I'd like to see.

What photoscenery is that and who's King Air is that?

Thanks!
Obie

My bad... I was so entranced with the lovely images (but then I am a visual first kind of guy) that I missed the small print. <sheepish grin>
