UKJim 502 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I just mocked up a quick flight plan to take a look at some of the POI's around Sydney and also of course the opera house - finally landing at the military base It had to be a quick one as I am not sure how much time I have today to play (7 month old son needs some attention) I will post pics as soon as possible - hopefully they will be good The Plan: Update: Lost my bearings a little and ended up landing back at Bankstown - ah well good flight though Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,498 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Bravo! That was a nice tour Jim the scenery is looking good. Cheers Joe Link to post Share on other sites
UKJim 502 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Thanks Joe, I am loving Australia at the moment hehe - just did another tour that took a tad longer but I will post in a different thread. Hope you don't mind all the screenshots? I get a bit carried away Link to post Share on other sites
Sabre 28 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 A very nice tour around the scenery Jim, I may have to add the Australia scenery to the list for Santa Claus Link to post Share on other sites
UKJim 502 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 £85 for gold, blue, green and red I would say go for it and then go grab hold of OZX too for the airports low and slow is your thing then you will like this scenery, but if you havent already get the Orbx PNW first as I think it is slightly better Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 997 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 You won't be surprised that this is a popular trip to fly RW (with some differences...), and it's usually combined with the "Victor 1" coastal route at not above 1000ft (I've flown that RW, and Bondi beach from 500ft is interesting! ) If you're interested, these are the RW procedures for flying around Sydney in a light aircraft: http://www.casa.gov.au/wcmswr/_assets/main/pilots/download/sydney/sydney.pdf Link to post Share on other sites

Page 75 gives some good details for Sydney - I like the rest of the book too because I do not know Australia that well for site seeing and this gives me some direction at least. Thanks a lot Tim it's an interesting read. RW = Real World? Just checking because Im still noob in the aviation/sim world Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Nice selection of shots Jim, looks as though you are enjoying FTX AU Link to post Share on other sites
UKJim 502 Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Yeah I am torn at the moment between that and PNW but enjoying both - thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 997 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Yes, back in 2006 I visited a friend in Sydney who rents an Arrow III based at Bankstown (Schofields, if anyone knows it), and one day we went out flying over the heads and down the coast (not forgetting the Tyne Bridge of course) This was kind of before the days of blogs, but I have a write up of it still on my old site: http://www.arnot.flyer.co.uk/id214.htm Link to post Share on other sites
