Video tours like this are what makes MSFS so unique, a chance to learn about places one would never imagine really seeing in life. Ress
I know! I'd NEVER have gone out here in my own accord. Up next is a San Antonio flight in the new Chinook. That place looks pretty good, too. Ever been out there? My dad lived there for about 8 years, so I've explored it a bit.
@@MSFSFlightPlans Had one trip there thanks to the NYANG and one on my own nickel. Ress
Something other than a chopper. Great flight as always.
I’m having autopilot problems on several planes recently too. I haven’t flown around Slovenia with the exception of Lake Bled, which looks beautiful. Thanks for another great flight! I’m back home and catching up on videos and I’ll work on the northern Italy flight shortly.
If you have the PMS 750 avionics package in your community folder, try pulling that out and see if it fixes anything. That helped me in the past when I remove the thing. You just have to remember to put it back in if a plane needs it.
@@MSFSFlightPlans I don’t have that. I have only 3 or 4 things in my community folder because I can’t get anything else to run. I even had to remove Flow because it caused extremely slow loading times and terrible stuttering. I wish I could afford a high spec PC but retirement doesn’t pay well…
Just another Awesome video as usual Thank You
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video, Nick. The city updates are worth looking at. Copenhagen is a good one.
Jeesh, I feel like I've been sitting in the theater for 4 hours and missed the movie! These cities should fill in any gaps in our flight schedule for a while.
One of the beauty of MSFS is the amount of beatiful freeware airports avalaible everywhere. I will never understand why simmers use default poor ones. Even for Slovakia there are nany and also wonderful.
I wish someone would let the modders know about Kosice then ... I couldn't find a single one for any of the little strips around there. I couldn't even find a payware mod. There was one available for the big airport, but those have a tendency to chew up performance for the whole region due to all the data and I didn't have the bandwidth for that in the already data-heavy area.
I use default airports because I have problems with most mods, and airports just aren’t important to me. My PC is not terrible but definitely not great.
Useless bit of trivia for you, the big tower in the middle of the steel plant is a galvanizing line. The tower has a bath of molten zinc at floor level where the steel strip passes through and exits vertically. You then cannot touch the strip until it is below a certain temperature, so the towers are quite tall. The company I work for makes coolers that go in these towers. I've been up a few galv towers in my time, it is a long way up and very, very warm! I'm not sure if that tower has any of our coolers in it. Galvanizing lines are easy to spot if you know what to look for. Silly point at about 20 minutes you say that power lines go into the the power station - technically wouldn't they go out of the power station? (Sorry being a bit pedantic 🙂) The Photogrammetry does look awesome though.
No trivia is useless! Thanks for the tower tour. Upon closer inspection of that power station, I'm not sure lines were going in OR out of the place. I saw what looks like a substation to the north with some lines near it ... but that's about it.
@@MSFSFlightPlans The thing is, it's not a power plant, but a heating plant :) I live in Košice. Very cool flyover, though, thanks!
Oh, and one little piece of trivia about the Zoo - it's probably not too big by population, but it's one of the biggest in Europe by size - a testament to the fact that the animals really have nice and big enclosures. Lot's of running space! For humans, too - it's quite a hike if you want to see everything!
Ahhhh! That makes more sense. I am guessing a lot of the city relies on steam for heating?
Sorry, one more thing ... do you know anything about the ruins up by that second dam?
@@MSFSFlightPlans I honestly don't know that much about how the heating plant technically works. I've been trying to find out, but the official webpage doesn't say much, only that it provides heat and hot water to over 78,000 homes. I'm assuming it just heats up water and then sends it all over the town. A lot of buildings have their own boilers, though. And we are supposed to switch to geothermal soon(tm), there's a big project going on right now.
As for the ruins, it's honestly just one of many such ruins that dot the landscape here. I counted 15 castles within 30 km of Košice, the vast majority of which are more or less gone. This particular one never seemed to be too important, it was built after the mongolian invasion sometime before 1330 (which is the first mention) and destroyed probably around 1500.
Buuut had you gone a bit further from Košice, you could have found Spiš Castle (27 nm from LZKZ at 311 degrees), which is one of the largest castles in Europe and has photogrammetry in the sim, or Krásna Hôrka castle (24 nm almost due west), which also has photogrammetry. I could go on, but I think you catch my drift -
Slovakia is a seriously great place for castle hunting :)
Smarter? Me?? Ok, send med the money 😂
