MSFS Halong Bay, Vietnam (VVCI)

[andy1252 3,893]

So, when I switched my sim PC on today the windows welcome screen had a nice image, so I clicked to see more, and it turned out to be Halong (sometimes Ha Long) Bay in north Vietnam. One of those land/sesacape images you've seen before but never really taken in. So thought I'd go visit. Nearest airport seems to be VVCI, and everything that follows is pure default MSFS - no addons either free or payware. Once again, I'm well impressed. I changed the weather and season mid way just because I can! All 4k and ultra or higher, as usual.

That looked interesting so went down fo a nose around

A bit further on over Cat Ba Island, probably the biggest island in the bay

and again, the view at ground level (whoo-hoo! balconies!)

This is what the bay is really all about. Thousands of islands in various sizes scattered all around

Couldn't see for sure, but looked like there might be a building in that little cove with the islet in it down below so thought I'd drop down and pay it a visit

Turned round, heading in now

Beached, and ready to explore

Nice!

I catch myself doing that too!   Last time it was a little deep blue lagoon on a remote island....very nicely rendered.  I'll have to see if I grabbed screens for it.
