Well deserved! Hope you will choose a cool prize.

PNW has always been one of my favourite regions in flight simulator ever since I installed the free PNW demo from Orbx for Flight Simulator X years ago. Yesterday, I've taken advantage of the sale and got myself TrueEarth US Washington for X-Plane 11. The experience is magnifient. My first flight started from Bowerman – my old FBO for flights in the PNW region – via Sekiu to Darrington. In comparision to the UK, all the default airfields look a little dull due to the missing buildings, so I might consider purchasing some additional airports.

Dear all, I was wondering whether there are any KMZ files available for the TrueEarth regions, in particular Great Britain. While I was able to obtain some files via several forum threads, it would be great to have them at a central place (no pun intended).

Thank you, guys! Yes, I started looking up some sights on the internet and then created a flightplan based on that. Much to discover!

I have to admit it is great fun blasting over the landscape with 180+ knots. Departure was Isle of Syke, Destination Benbecula, Outer Hebrides.

Yes, I played around with GIMP. But just in terms of saturation, contrast and brightness. So nothing too grave. Here's one original, just for comparison:

All XP, Jack! I have to confess though that some colour, brightness and contrast adjustments have been applied after the flight.

Just three shots from X-Plane 11:

Approaching Innsbruck University Hospital:

Ahh, the small classic. Many companies here in Germany switched towards the Guimbal Cabri G2 for pilot training though. I'd love to fly one of the larger helicopters (H135/H145), but I guess you either need to become a pilot yourself or fly with it being a patient for the air ambulance. Yet, I don't think the latter is going to be fun at all...
