Hi!

Sorry haven't posted in a long time and not too much either.  Anyway today for some reason I felt like flying in the Pine Ridge Native American Reservation in the Northern Part I think of South Dakota.  I don't think you can do this in real life unless you are Native American which would make sense.  There is a small GA airport though in the South near the town/city of Pine Ridge.  Anyway I didn't really do much, just try and get back into flying as it's been a while.  I did find it quite peaceful though.  Anyway the pics (sorry they're not really great quality screenshots),

1. Somewhere near Lake Oglala

...

2. At about 6,000ft (amsl)

...

3. Turning onto base for runway 6

...

4. The city of Pine Ridge.  I love defauly Fsx autogen and the textures are great too when not yellow but I'm still not sure about the default night lighting.

...

5. Finals for Runway 6

...

6. I really should be looking at the runway now!

...

7. Parked up and shutting down the engine and systems.

...

Hope they were ok.  Sorry about the compression and quality and stuff.

Many thanks for looking,

P.

P.S. This is just default Fsx with the only addon being Cloud9's World landclass (payware) (only addon for now!)

Hi!

Many thanks, I know Fsx can look much much better though (and often does so in here!)

Many thanks!

Lookin' good......I like the last one Cool
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Hi!

Many thanks for the replies.  I also still really enjoy the sunsets and sunrises in Fsx.  I'm not sure they have changed much from Fs9 but they really didn't need to as far as I was concerned!

Many thanks!
