Airfield/Sortie Suggestions...

[Saracenman]

having watched an interesting documentary last night about the building of Kansai Airport, Osaka, Japan, i thought it would make a nice destination for FSX, as it's built on a man-made island a couple of miles of the Nip coast

what i didn't realise is just how fab the scenery is (even with my settings turned to "almost nuffink"). i thought it might be nice for us to suggest decent locations to try on FS; so here's my first:

takeoff: Tokyo International Airport (HND/RJTT)
land: Kansai International Airport (KIX/RJBB)
flight-time: 40mins approx (by VC10 )

there were some other interesting airstrips en route too, but here are some screenshots:

Mount Fuji






Wedgy in the distance




anyone have an other obscure and interesting sorties?

nice shots SM I can see 4 but the 'Wedgy in the distance' is the white square / red x again - so why is that

[Saracenman]

simply because I'm an imbecile

so it wasn't a wind up then

nope - it just helps not to delete the picture which I'm trying to post!
