We'll start our world tour from Perth, Western Australia. Today's temperature is 25 degrees C, the highest in months! Spring is at hand... We'll take a short warmup VFR (visual flight rule, which means we can rely on landmarks to navigate etc) turning left after takeoff and flying to Swan River and King's Park, then across the Indian Ocean to Rottness Island.
Separated at birth? The layout of the airport is quite accurate!
There
are hills on the top of the screen; they are so distinct in real life,
I don't know what they're called though.
In
front of us is the Swan River...
King's
Park in Flight Simulator...
and
King's Park in real life.
Fremantle
is to our left as we head for Rottness...
Yes,
the island is deserted, wonderful!
