after seeing screenshots and exploring the region via the google earth kmz i just couldnt resist to spent the cash for the brand new orbx NA gold central rocky mountains pack. it expands the coverage from pnw way eastward and presents a very diverse and different setting that should be good for endless exploration trips!
after downloading the 4GB package, installation, defragmentation and a long time exploring a location for the first trip i decided to dive right into the middle and ended up at U37 (midway airport, atomic city, idaho), since it has this nice desert look to it!
 |
| parked at atomic city airport in idaho.. isnt as exciting as the name would suggest :) |
 |
| this small gravelstrip has a nice photoreal touch. |
 |
| almost featureless landscape, but i love this desert atmosphere. |
 |
| and there are still things to see out here! approaching the big southern butte! |
 |
| nice variation in ground features makes exploration interesting! |
 |
| big lava dome thingy in the snake river plain. |
 |
| and theres a little dirtstrip right around there too! |
 |
| lets take a break there. |
 |
| wind was on my side! usually you should do a flyby first to check winds... |
 |
| fraternating with campers? maybe! |
 |
| into the desert! |
 |
| can't wait for orbX to reach the las vegas area, nevada will be glorious with FTX! |
 |
| shimmering green at the horizon! |
 |
| circles approaching! |
 |
| i love those fields, we don't have them here in europe, never seen them before! |
 |
| from circles... |
 |
| ... to squares |
 |
| and everything in between. |
 |
| enough for now. lets orientate and approach the airport ahead! |
 |
| there it is, should be u36 |
 |
| turning |
 |
| lining up |
 |
| easy! |
 |
| can't wait to explore more of crm! |
