If you had 3D data and 3D buildings on, in most places in the UK (cities/towns more so) the trees are 3D rendered … as in that clip.
Not 100% reliable … but, where the data exists, it’s damned useful.
Even street lamps are in 3D … power pylons too, sometimes.
And, yes, it does screw the horizon sometimes … but it’s correct when you fly the mission, so ignore that.
Still only PC I believe, may have to play in a virtual machine.

Yes. Windows only. Virtual Machine would be fine - just needs that and Google Earth installing.
It got warmer! I wondered where the sensor is located … because the air temp ain’t that!
No wind and sat in the sunshine is crazy hot for February, though!
So hot, even Southampton airport is recording 15°C.

I think the excursion around the corner and into Cowes would have been needed for that.
But the main thing was getting to feel comfortable with doing that range - and the final one the video was better (will post tomorrow) because I thought about that a little more then the first two crossings.
So - more than happy - and that’s something left to try another time.

yeh it looks really good and you had a great day for it shame i was working would of liked to been there
so maybe nxt time
Days like today happen very rarely. Glad I hung about to catch the afternoon lull in the wind … possibly because of the tide change.
I was shattered by the end of the day … up at 4am!! … otherwise I’d have hung about and done a night flight. It’s still perfect down there!
yeh that would of been interesting a night flight , mind you you might have the police, coast guard tackling you thinking you are smuggling lol by keep flying over there
