  1. I'll take a seat on this ride. Relax a bit on route to my next leg. Sorry to hear about the pressures of school, but just think all the hard work you put in now will lead to this type reaction when you are finally finished so hang in there big buddy. :great:
  2. This post gets my vote for best post for ATWC II to this point. Joe this is what the spirit of ATWC is all about and you have captured it to perfection. :dance: Well done Boss, and those shots are awsome, your sysem is really looking good. Thanks I really enjoyed reading this post. As for that sand thing with Hugo and myself, not one our proudest moments, a bit to much of the local brew will get you agreeing to do strange and embarasing things, the above being a good example. However as Hugo has already said, thanks for getting us out of there. As for me taking a wrong turn and head for
  3. Thanks Boss, I look forward to the next section. :biggrin:
  4. CAA330, awsome post. Yea I was up on the hill waving you off, with a couple of those ATWC addoring fans waving alongside me, we really enjoyed watching you take off, it was an awsome display of power and grace, well done mate you kept the flag flying high for ATWC, you really showed the locals what ATWC is all about, all they wanted to do the rest of the day was ask me questions about ATWC and our adventures. I was planning to fly out after you and meet up with you in the Maldives, but looking at the weather there, it looks no better than here in the Seychelles, so I will ground myself for
  5. Thank You for the kind comments gents, really appreciate them. :atwc: Go CCA330, ya good thing, really enjoying the island hoping are you, maybe I should book myself as a passenger on your leg.
  6. I will have to go with the SAA in the one shot. No seriously, the Original Met Jet, the one used on the 747 has to be my fav. :atwc:
  7. Looking good. If I may, some tips. The shadow on the wing, just bit to far down the wing bring it in closer to the fuselage, also you have rest of the shadowed wing lightened, but looking at the fuselage, the sun is shineing from the opposite side, so I would not lighten the balance of the wing just add the shadow. As well add some shadow to the engine on that side aswell, as I am sure it will get some shadow to looking at the angle of the sun light. What I can also see is that there would be some shadow from the upside wing reflected onto the rear of that engine. I hope you do not mind me g
  8. Brilliant shots Steve. :atwc:
  9. Great shots, love the last one. :atwc:
  10. Guess what? It is raining again. But a little bit of water is not going to stop the baton from getting to it's destination. OK a lot of water. However the MET onroute is for scattered cloud and no rain, so it looks like we will be arriving to a nice sunny clear day in the Seychelles. Here we are loaded up and ready to fire this bird up. Just like the baton needs to get to the Seychells so does this bird, so we are flying light because it is a ferry flight, however we do have one VIP passenger again, The ATWC baton. (look out for it) Up and away we go Saying 'Good bye' to FMNN On
  11. Thanks Joe, your to kind. Yes it is. As for the PC issues, well my current system is starting to show it's age, and all the parts are starting to groan under the strain of FS, more and more little issues are starting to creep in. So the need for the nice new shiny lighting fast system is looking more and more like it needs to happen, or is it just me wanting a nice new shiny toy, ummm, maybe a bit of both . but no matter how I look at it, a new system is on the cards, the only hurdle is baby is here in 3-4 weeks and so budget is focused on mommy and him for now, till then I have to keep
  12. Thanks for the comments chap. Joe look again, it is there. Yea, as I thought CCA330, would be only to happy to be loungeing about on the beach, getting some rays and enjoying the view Well holiday is nearly over CCA330, I will be there shortly. See you soon. Then I can take some time out in the sun and enjoy the views
  13. While attempting to complete part 3 of my ATWC leg 19, my system kept crashing on me causing me to keep restarting my flight, I even tried changing AC in the hope that it will solve my problem, but that was not it, it turns out it was hardware related, I have hopfully now fix the problem. Anyway, while attemping each flight I did get some screenies taken, and so decided to do some rough edits with them, so here they are. I am trying to capture the dark gloomy effect of bad weather with these, still need some practice though. They are a bit to dark, need to work on the lighting some more. En

    Awsome shots Joe, that first one is just so RW looking. love these.
  19. Kurt, those are fantastic shots, really top quality, please keep posting shots like that.
  20. Kurt, you will be calling this home soon, it is a great site to be a part of, what keeps me here is the truely awsome bunch of guys that hand out here at Mutleys, and you will find the same, and the other big attraction for me is that it is the only site I know of where the are forum events and aventures to be a part off, so settle in and enjoy your self.
  21. Late, but good anyway, Happy Birthday Martin, I hope you had a great day, old boy.
  22. Firstly all I must apologise for the delays in getting this leg completed, but as the old saying goes "Life is what happens when you are making plans". So I am trying to force my time to get this leg completed. Anyway here is part 3 of Leg 19, which takes the baton from FQPB (Mozambique) to FMNN (Fascene Island) just off the north west coast of Madagascar. After arriving in Pemba (FQPB) we where informed that we where to leave the PC12 there and switch to a new plane which we need to ferry to the Seychelles. So who am I to arrgue, I accept this willingly. I figure a nice long and straight as
  23. Ros, that first shot of the C-130 taking off, has to be one of the best I have seen, If I did not know better I would have said it is a RW image. Very nice Looking forward to the rest of this tour.
  24. Phil Any scenery that you install into the Add-on Scenery folder in your FS root folder can be install to any non FS folder or even to a seperate drive that is not your FS drive. The only 2 issues you must be aware of is 1. when you add the scenery in your scenery lib - point to the scenery on the driver or location where you have it installed, also be sure to remove the scenery from your FS scenery lib before you move it and then re-add after you have moved it. 2. also be aware of any scenery that requires you to install parts of that scenery to other folders not in your Add-on Scenery f
