Amazing video. I think I may recognise some of the landscape; I had the opportunity to drive from Trondheim up Trollstigen and through to Geiranger and all down the west coast over the summer, a once-in-a-life-time-opportunity. Thank you for posting this.

Ah, yes, Trollstigen is across the mountain in the next valley from where the majority of this video was made, so you may very well have gone past this area too

Wow, X-Plane has come a long way. What build you using?

The dedication at the end, is that for the chap who crashed his glider a few weeks ago? I overheard parts of the search when passing overheard between Oslo and Kristiansund in the 737.
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Indeed it is. You weren't the 737 which I met down in the valley below Trollveggen? :-) Way below controlled airspace, where there is no radar coverage and gliders like me flying around.

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.
