A little trip I did today from Walter's strip at dawn, up to fall city but via Vashon Island. Great airport at Vashon which I didn't even realise was included, it must have been an extra with another of purchases maybe? Anyway enjoy the shots, comments welcome.

Thanks everyone! Sabre, follow this thread.......the settings included for REX, Water Config and ENB have transformed my flying experience. The settings are bang on. Throw in an ORBX weather theme and your screenshots look great. I have posted up some more shots also. http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/42772-leaving-starks/page__fromsearch__1 Rich

Hi everyone! I have been enjoying the pacific north west region just lately and thought I'd share a couple of shots, more to follow soon! Comments are always welcome, I have focussed on getting my REX themes and ENB settings just right lately. Rich

Hi everyone, I have recently been thinking about purchasing PNW from FTX, after having the OZ region i'm sold on their products. However I have a question, after I buy it I will def look into airstrips to add to the area. Is there a way to view where the strips are in relation to each other, in the same way you could with the Oz region? Obviously I want to buy strips that are in places I will fly between etc etc. I am open to any ideas of what order/preference I should buy the strips. Thanks for any help. Rich

Guys, I have been reading around this Prepar3D and i'm a little confused.........well what is it? A standalone sim? An add on? Thanks in advance Rich

Hi everyone, has anyone here tried FS economy? I use it and wondered if anyone uses this instead of Air Hauler. I am deciding if I should buy Air hauler?

Hi folks, I have been away from the forums for a while now, due in part to an addiction to F12011! I decided you know what I can do both together! So I dusted down the commander and thought i'd do some proper IFR So I made a westerly turn after departure from runway 27 at Bristol airport and headed for unrestricted airspace out over the severn bridge.....£6.00 to cross now! I followed the M4 until it branches into the A449 and followed up to my home town of Usk. My house is just below the prop tip. After that I thought why not follow the Usk river leading up the valley into Abergavenn

guys I will buying F1 2011 this year on PC. If I install it on my D drive will this effect flight sim at all that is installed on the external hard drive I have? Will it take away power from the flight sim installation at all? or just run independently? Thanks Rich

Thanks for this one Mut! I won't be missing out on this! I am a huge fan of the 737 PIC version I have.

Hi Mut, thanks for this. If i go down the payware route I will at least now know what to do to get the paint installed properly. If I get the Acceleration pack I fear having to install all my add ons again?! Rich

Guys I am currently setting up a few things on FSX that involve transporting the US President. I have improved scenery for the white house and Washington, secret service and motorcade at Andrews and the South lawn. Airforce One is sorted by way of PMDG 747 and the repaint, as is Airforce Two with Captain sims 757 and the Mcphat repaint. However one thing eludes me.....I need a model and repaint of Marine One helicopter. I am aware that a repaint is available for the FSX acceleration pack, however I do not have this and therefore I am looking for a freeware model and repaint. Any ideas? Would

Thought I'd share some shots of ORBX and OZX scenery which has meant Australia flying is now my favorite. OZX and ORBX teaming up! This was my first visit and i was amazed! On duty! Outback Here will do nicely! Better eat the bananas then! Comments, as ever, welcome! Rich

Thanks everyone! Martyn, yes it is indeed Murray Island and my god the runway is short! Because it is elevated so high up on the island it's very difficult to judge, it reminded me of trying to judge a carrier landing, except I'm doing 80kts. To get the people flow (man on bench) you will need the scenery but also the latest libraries to ensure people flow is good to go! Look here towards the bottom http://fullterrain.com/support.html

Just some shots I thought i'd share with you. Thanks for viewing - comments welcome as ever. Rich

Thanks Joe! I was thinking about a scenery package for Nice, since i am off there on my holidays this year. But i wonder if there is a good scenery for Calais? I must get a good one for Mutley Field too!? Any recommendations? Rich

Yes. Because the nav data in Plan-G comes *from* FSX. But you need to be sure that what you have tuned is a VOR. A VOR in Plan-G is drawn as a blue hexagon. If the navaid you have tuned is a blue square it is a DME and not a VOR (so you will see no deflection of the OBS). Many VORs and DMEs are co-located with a common frequency, and so you will see both symbols, ie a hexagon in a square. But there are also many VORs with no DME and many DMEs with no VOR. Standalone DMEs are typically associated with instrument approaches, and will generally be colocated with an NDB or an ILS localiser. Als

There was barely time to look out the window however with my flight plan taking me close to some restricted airspace. As you can see I had to do a lot in 30 mins! If anyone wants to try this flight feel free to ask for the plan. I had to avoid the dangerous airspace and the training zone to the south west. I picked up the A303 and headed over to Stone henge before landing at Boscombe airport. Oh and the weather decided to try and distract me also! Picking up the A303 with Stone henge just over the motorway barrier. Thanks for viewing........if anyone has any Plan G flightplans tha

Tie down just before Sunset Island Arrival (YMUI)

Hi everyone, Today I flew my first VFR flight using the Plan G flight planner and it is excellent! The software enabled me to use a very complicated flight plan which meant I would be triangulating my position three times in the space of 30 mins during a little sightseeing trip over Stone Hedge. It also meant I knew when I would be over particular roads etc....very detailed and so satisfying when you see that road pop up on the horizon and your VFR skills worked! (screenshots of flight in screenshot forum) That brings me onto something else. I did try to plan a triangulation from different V

Good Luck all!

As low and as slow as I dare................

Hi everyone, please enjoy these shots and any comments are always welcome and I particularly like knowing which shots you guys like and why. Enjoy! 'Pulled over' 'the rock' 'little strip' 'heli' 'In the cruise' 'on the ground in Canberra' 'company' 'holding short' 'ILS' Rich

Hope you all enjoy these shots, Comments always welcome. Breaking the cloud on descent Final prep before pushback News chopper covering the international arrival at Canberra Rich

Soya, Superb shots as ever. What always amazes me is your AI in your shots. Would I be right in thinking that the other aircraft are in fact you but recorded and played back? FS recorder? Rich

I'm very confused by it to be honest. Have they actually got a product or just an engine, which they are trying to get someone to buy and use? Is this something that will be finished at the end of time or next week?? Rich
