Uluru: Australia’s Mythic Monolith
It’s one of the most iconic sights in Australia, perhaps in the world. In the Central Desert, a vast sandstone monolith rises from an endless flat plain, its red walls changing color with the shifting sunlight. Taller than the Eiffel Tower, older than the Himalayas, and covering more area than the entire nation of Monaco, it goes by the ancient name of Uluru. Today, it is one of the most sacred places in the entire world.

Tramonto a Punta Peron, Perth, Western Australia
Il sole era da poco sparito nell'Oceano Indiano, regalandoci un cielo fantastico; Non si vede molto, ma tra le sfumature all'orizzonte c'è anche il verde; questa è una caratteristica dell'emisfero australe, al tramonto il cielo si tinge, tra i vari colori, anche di verde

Flight Simulator X | Sunset Flight | Uluru
In the midst of chaos this week in my hometown with state wide power outages due to severe storms, I was unable to complete editing for Episode 2 of Route 66 (. I wasn't going to let that deter me keeping my schedule though)
Please enjoy a scenic flight around what of the most iconic sights of the Australia Outback and one of the wonders of the world. Uluru or Ayer's Rock!
Australia SP4 scenery used here and to my pleasant surprise the sunset looked great for default settings in FSX!

Pompeii: The Flames of the End
Life is sweet, if you are not a slave, if you are a Roman Citizen. The Empire extends from Spain to the Black Sea, from Britannia to Egypt. After the year of four emperors, 69 CE, Rome has been under the firm and stable rule of Emperor Vespasian for ten years. The Emperor has just started building the Flavian Amphitheatre, which will be known as Colosseum.
For the moment, you are content with your own local gladiatorial shows in an Arena that can sit half the population of your rich and beautiful town.

The Orient Express: King of Trains, Train of Kings
The journey to the Express was not a simple one. For upper class travellers to enjoy a luxury, non-stop train ride across seven nations, it would take the dream of a lovesick Belgian engineer, with his rather interesting supporting cast: an American industrialist, the inventor of US tabloid journalism, the Prince of Wales, and one of the most prolific mass murderers of the 19th and 20th Centuries.
