This is why I love Flight Simulator.
You can take a spin over your home city at sunset, cruise around for as long as your want, and take in the amazing view, all from the comfort of your own home.
The next 9 pictures use Photoreal Auckland City from REALNZ and Carenado’s Piper Cherokee 180F, both payware. All I can say is you certainly get what you pay for... ...and don’t just take my word for it, let the screenies do the talking:
(9 pics to load, 1430KB, #8 is my favourite)
1. Over Albany, climbing out from NZWP
2. Following the motorway to Takapuna
3. Over the Waitamata Harbour, next to the CBD
4. Above Grey Lynn, right at the centre of the city
5. Out west near St. Lukes
6. Heading back, with the Waitakere Ranges behind
7. Crossing the North Western Motorway
8. Back over the CBD above the Auckland Domain ***my best shot***
9. Turning for NZAR in the deep orange clouds
Thanks for looking! _________________

Youre lucky you can fly around your city. I wish some dedicated person would make some photoreal scenery for the Isle of Skye!
BTW - Great shots |
