In 2012 I visited Cappadocia, Turkey. I took the opportunity to fly a hot air balloon at sunrise. It’s a fantastic experience, watching the unique landscape during the golden hour and see the sky filled with balloons.
I recently found some photos that I took from the balloon ride and wanted to see if I could find the spot where the photos were taken in the simulator. I took off from Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport (LTAZ) and flew south-east towards the towns of Göreme and Ürgüp, which I remember visiting during my trip. I believed that the ballon should have taken off somewhere around that area.
Eventually I spotted a mountain that looked very familiar. I compared it to the mountain from my photos. It looked pretty much identical. From there I didn’t take me too long to find a place that matched one of my photos. The screenshot angle is slightly off, but it has to be the same spot.
