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:

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.

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,

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>
