Chasing sunrise across The Outback @ FL24



Outback Sunrise over YCMU @ FL24

On this journey ...getting there is the adventure.

 It’s been an on going routine in real life to ensure that our virtual "Little Bird" has all she technically needs to perform above and beyond expectations. We’ve added performance parts to her machine. We have also installed a mod pack for her flight characteristics and instrument panel given to us by a fellow Sym Pilot.

We’ve tried to make our virtual world as real as we can expect from a box filled with processed sand and alloys. At the programs basic level we’ve been captured by the scenery during our virtual fly over of places we never knew existed before leaving home (KPWT). Departing home ...that seems like a long time ago.

We recently added the Rex 4 Texture add-on as well as Trees HD to our FSX SE library. That add-on package made our sunrise flight this morning from YMML to YBCS …stunning. We left Melbourne Intl at 0230 this morning for a 3 hour flight into Cairns.

Sunrise near Cunnamulla Airport

 

During our younger years we traveled the American Southwest desert. We learned early on in life to travel across hot when the sun is down. We also learned of the rewards from watching the sun come up over the desert.

As we crossed over Cunnamulla Airport (YCMU) I realized that seeing the Outback from the ground had become another item from Australia that is now added to our bucket list.

Tomorrow we’ll grab a rotor wing (R-66) and head for Lizard Island. We're told it's a great way to experience the reef. Until then please enjoy the musical talent of The Outback's Ticki Stamasuri.
