Exploring the Kamchatka Peninsula

I tried this once in P3D, even with ORBX Global and Vector installed, it wasn’t really that special. My next attempt was photoscenery for XP11, with even worse results; and it didn’t matter, whether I used Google, Bing, USA2 or anything else. It was all horrible. So I gave up on it. This is now my third attempt and it looks much better, although we still need an improved mesh. But I know that I complain here on a fairly high level.

We’ll start with real weather on the south-eastern side of the peninsula at Yelizovo, will fly along some nice mountain area and will land on its north-western side in Palana, a small settlement with a population of around 3,200 people.

But in such a remote location with a presumably poor satellite database, also MSFS is occasionally not free of a few glitches

Even at 500 ft it looks great

Also the village itself looks believable

Good photos, had exploration on my own and was a bit disappointed with Geyser valley representation. Not even close to reality
