Chicago at dusk, featuring HiFi Simulation's Active Sky and X Graphics. I
just got it and thought I would share.
Chicago01: looking NNW, near Goose Island. Wrigley Field is due north from
us, about mid-way between Montrose and Belmont Harbors. Off in the distance
is KPWK. X Graphics really shines with roads and color scheme.
Chicago02: Museum of Science and Industry. Frame rates suck, but city flying
wouldn't be the same without autogen cityscape in the background.
Chicago03: Abeam the Art Institute and Sears Tower.
Chicago04: East and inbound under the class alpha. X-graphics shows the moon
waxing a few days before full. I'll have to check that...
Chicago05: 06C.
Chicago06: Fox River under the wing, just coming due west of KDPA. Nice sky.
Chicago07: the fog rises up west of the Fox on this muggy day. That's KARR
in the distance, and I-88 in the mid-ground. I'm not sure which to thank,
FSGenesis or X-graphics, for the lovely rendition of farmland. Probably
both.
Chicago08: headed back to 06C and home with the sun almost down. The urban
sprawl of Aurora peeks in from the edge of the fog.
