Might as well add a little SkyMaxx 2 porn of my own. These are from what became a very eventful flight between CYBD and CYXY when UltraWX got stuck with an old METAR and I flew into unexpected icing. I had to dive for the earth, blow off my planned approach, and finish my flight going VFR through the valleys on the way into Whitehorse trying to stay below a very low cloud deck. It was one of those I was very glad when I hit the tarmac that I didn't "cheat" and correct the weather in the simulator, but found a way to fly through and survive.

This was where stuff started getting rough.

Trying to get as low as I safely can. Cloud shadows! Gorgeous cloud shadows!

Aerobask's DA 42 v2.0 (with my G1000 mod v1.5) from Innsbruck to Salzburg:

Unfortunately the weather was too good for SkyMaxx showing its abilities ;) And I love that lens flare...

 

About the aircraft: It's a strange thing. The real Diamond DA-42 is, for my taste, not a very beautiful aircraft; it looks as if somebody has attached two overpowered engines to a small glider. However, I like Aerobask's rendition of this aircraft very much. It does not look photorealistic, not the style like Carenado and others have. Instead, it looks like from a glossy brochure, where everything is just too shiny to be real. Also, the avionics are X-Plane standard and therefore have only superficial similarities with a real G1000 (not even with my modifications). But still: This is a good X-Plane model. Flies fine and I might say (from what I've read about the real DA-42) quite believable for me.

I thought I'd hop on the bandwagon and add my own section of SkyMaxx porn. I'm astonished at how incredible it looks... Awesome job guys!  B)
