Just completed the longest flight I have ever done. Hong Kong (VHHH) to Washington Dulles (KIAD) in the T7. Total of 16.5 hours.

Got into the Stinson to screw around in Sedona and the Grand Canyon, since I'm heading there in two weeks. Finally got the new UHD... WOW. I also got my tablet hooked up as ASI and altimeter, I have two old joysticks on standby for when I'm at my dad's place for the workshop to build a nice cockpit panel. Suggestions for the mist important switches and whatnot? And I seriously screwed around when I decided to buzz the Colorado as long and low as possible.

A new addition to the successful donationware HD Mesh Scenery v3 series has been release. This time, covering the top of the world, the Himalaya "region"! All usual "attributes" of the already existing HD Mesh Scenery v3 apply here too. Special topics to be noted: coverage is 6 "big tiles" (6.3 Gbytes), but not entire 10x10 degree areas. The covered area extends: from 70E to 100E, and 24N to 38N!data used comes from a GLCN project (and this also shows, which area has high res landclass data): http://www.glcn.org/databases/hima_landcover_en.jspthe Himalaya extension is based on latest (end of April 2015) OSM dataYou can download the files via the map here: http://www.alpilotx.net/downloads/x-plane-10-hd-mesh-scenery-v3/Comparison screenshots (before / after) can be found here: https://picasaweb.google.com/101666907909842492197/HDMeshSceneryV3Himalaya
