we have a Military base, named Overberg. I flew the Falcon 50 from there to Ysterplaat.

Pardon the jaggies, it is captured from my notebook, with just the basics Sad

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Always nice to see shots from the mother country! I hope Orbx FTX moves on to South Africa when they're done with New Zealand... Cap'n Haddock, you might know, where can I find some lekker addons for ZA? I seem to remember stumbling over a small community somewhere, but that was ages ago... can't seem to find it now... I want to see the Blyde River Canyon properly, "Ag no man! It's not just one big lump... it's Three Rondavels!" Wink

Yes, surely nice to see some local shots.

Kinda sucks how the Aces neglected our part of the world.

I gave up with South African freeware, heck even some payware land class ain't worth it.

Lets hope Orbx one day tastes potjie or lekker pap & wors, then decide to create some ZA scenery Grin

Hey Gents, Thanks!
Yeah, and imagine now I am still stuck with FS9 as my PC is just too slow for FSX Sad

wel it does run FSX, but I rather fly a smooth FS9 with all the sliders max, than with my FSX with a 10 FPS and barely buildings, AI and trees Sad

This Spotty is done by a friend of mine, Thinus, and the PC7's Silver Falcons also, I guess.

here are a list of SA Aircraft as well:
