Mexico - Catalina F3F


Recommended Posts

Mexico to Catalina. Departure was in the black of early morning from MMLM, Los Mochis, Mexico, about an hour or so predawn. I had emergency Medical Supplies on board for KAVX, Catalina, which looked suspiciously like a crate of tequila...that's one way to clear customs I guess.

 

First shot is about 1/2 hour before dawn, first usable screenshot. Running lights on bright.

Just before dawn, the glow lit side of the plane.

Dashing over the much improved Mexico terrain thanks to Orbx. On my way to my pit stop at MMPE, Punta Penasco.

After the refueling stop, I'm almost over to the coastline south of San Diego.

Catalina is ahead after a bit of cloud dodging out of SD.

The tourist season is well underway at Catalina.

Down, shut down, and admiring the scenery after a long flight.

Especially doctors on holiday Brett. ;)

 

Loic, I have been flying the heck out of both of those planes, the Helldiver and F3F both give a very Immersive-Lite experience...easy and enjoyable to fly, lots of things to do in cockpit, sound great, look fantastic....and yeah, you don't drop anything in AH2 let alone a few cases of expensive Medi'zcal supplies.

 

Wain, she was the scenery I was admiring the most.:hat:

Nice one Cp'n! 

Are the cruise ships from a plugin? 

 

Heya Oziee...Loic posted a link around here somewhere regarding a Ship Addon...a huge collection of all kinds of boats that ply the FSX and P3D world...not sure if it works in other sims than those.

 

Search for it based on the file name...it is on AvSim, you may need to create an account to access/download it.

Thanks folks for the kind words all.

I love sitting in this and the Helldiver even for long arsed flights like this one. They are like A2A/Aerosoft visual quality but a few notches in complexity less fiddly to worry about...I have yet to foul a plug or burn a motor in either of these. Easy on frame rates too which is a boon for me with the state of my machine at the moment. My old machine is often plunking along up against a 16fps limit at best.

 

Cheers.

Coff.
