I’ll admit being a bit late to the party. Lately, with the DC-6 beta, I’ve been flying a lot in Orbx Alaska instead of the higher FLs in Eurasia. I just installed Orbx KORS (Orcas Island) and when flying in last night, was stunned by what I saw. I couldn’t believe my eyes, so I went back to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. This morning was just as captivating. Here goes…
Here we are walking up to my beloved Annuschka SP-AMN (painted by our very own YoYo).
Next, the view out the side window whilst taxying down to the other end. Like Pilot Country Estates in my bit of the world, Orcas Island has homes on the property, with taxiways to the runway from the home garage/hangars.
Final- with Orcas! Watching them cavort in the water was distracting to say the least. It did not diminish my wonder at the scenery- just superb!
Short final- with the airport ahead in all it’s glory. We just passed some very nice cabin cruisers tied up on the left. This entire area is ablaze with detail. Incredible!
Mostly flying far above, and passing by so fast, I didn't realize what Orbx had wrought! This is as close to my low and slow days in my Aeronca Champ- and a nice change of pace.
Best- Carl
