Big Bend Park - Santa Elena Canyon

[crash]

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

The 'south Texas scenery' post got my nostalgia worked up, so had to go buzz
around Big Bend Park in Texas, and my favorite part, Santa Elena Canyon.
Here's a link to show what it looks like:
http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/BigBend/SantaElena.html
It's a very interesting hike (especially if you're older, fatter, and more
out of shape than average) IRL, and also fun to fly in the sim.
You can take off from 89TE for the first fun M/S experience, then fly south
east to the canyon.. Just look for the M/S version of a river flowing along
a canyon wall, and you're there. Coord's are N29 10.10' W103 35.94'
Hit "Resume" to start the slide show.....

I'd say the panhandle on down to mid Texas would take that honor!!

BTW - if anyone does NOT have FSGenesis TX & SE 38.2m mesh, which is used
with my flight through Santa Elena Canyon, could you comment if it made much
difference with the default look......... Just curious... TIA

It's plain you never drove from Topeka to Colorado. At least on the
Topeka side you have some little hills to go up and down.

Little Hills the man says!!! Ye Gods man, those are the infamous "Flint
Hills"!!! I used to love that sign along the Kansas Turnpike "Entering
beautiful Flint Hills", and everyone would go blind looking for them...
I've seen bigger waves in the Pacific (well, ok, maybe almost).. They are
kind of pretty in the summer time, with the rolling waves of prairie grass
however...

Don, if you look at http://tinyurl.com/aadrk you'll see the difference. My
default and your genesis.... no comparison

Holy cow - doesn't look like the same sim, even the bluff line is gone!!
I've been downloading about everything FSG throws out there for the last few
years, so have gotten rather complacent about how the default actually
was/is..... Galazy memberships are good!! Thanks TR.......

Forgot to mention that I'm getting blank pictures and an error message from
Photobucket after hitting the resume button, only able to see the first
picture, but that's enought to see the difference!!

Same here. I thought it might be my browser but I only get the first
picture, then errors.
