Thanks for the nice comment, Mark
And good catch for the location, some of these shots are indeed in Corsica (the rest are in the French Alps).
You recognized the Solenzara airbase. The village with the fireworks is Corte, in the center of the island.
In these shots, I'm using the following sceneries / addons:
- FranceVFR PhotoHD (photorealistic scenery with no autogen) Corsica - payware
- VogelFactory autogen for Corsica - Freeware (brings in a beautiful autogen for houses and trees)
- Pack VFR Global Corse - Freeware (brings the main airports on the island and several famous landmarks)
- ZARA X - Freeware (the Solenzara airbase scenery)
- TomatoShade - Freeware (for the colors of the simulator)
- The semi-transparent trees for photorealistic sceneries by Aimé Leclerc - Freeware (brings in new autogen tree textures that are a bit transparent, so they blend more with the forest textures underneath)
