AFS4 Mt Everest

[emfrat]

AFS communty dev chrispriv has updated his Himalayas scenery, so I borrowed an A320neo and headed off to Kathmandu for a look.

Oh that is purty.
You have a helicopter?
Everest base to summit is easier than walking.
Also: you realise that while Mt. E is pretty high, you start out ALREADY pretty high.

Charl - a bit like Mount Kosciuszko. You can drive up to Thredbo. ride up the chairlift, and walk a couple of miles more or less on the level, to where the buses used to turn, and then climb about 50' to the actual summit. Or you can walk in from the Perisher side, a nice stroll along the road to the same spot, but you can't drive up these days, or go by bus. I walked up that road one day and there was a hawk of some sort hovering about 100' higher, over the valley. Next thing it made a successful stoop of about 900' - pure magic. Mind you, Mt K is about 22,000' lower than Mt E

Great shots

It has been holy grail for me to find PERFECT, CRISP SHARP, REALISTIC mountains or alps for my FSX. So far I have still not found any.
