May I suggest adding a smoke trail to show your path Cheesy

You can copy the smokes effects line out of the Extra 300 (aircraft.cfg)

It will really add to showing your talents!!!

Okay, I've tried three times to upload my pictures, and they haven't worked once! Angry

What the heck am I doing wrong? ???

I have the images down to below 100K, they are in *.jpeg form, and I have uploaded them to the site, AND put the correct URL in the message.

If you don't know what I did wrong, then the hell with it, I'll just observe ya'll.

Okay, this is what I have been trying to show you:

Under the first two bridges, over the third and then through the Towers. This is the MAC-4E Sonic Hornet designed by Lee Rosario and repainted by me. Oh, yeah--Mach 1.27 on the gauge. Grin

Next I tried my faithfull V22, but it didn't seem to like this bridge AT ALL, as you can see . . .

Tried this five times and didn't get through once, but I did manage to waterlanded the aircraft each time! (like that makes a difference) Roll Eyes

Thanx for the help!

PS--I've got a trickier one in Dallas, TX that I'll post on a different subject soon . . . Wink

What exactly was so terrible about his takeoff? I don't ask because I'm a jerk--I just want to know for future reference.

Not a brilliant take-off Roger. You seem to have drifted almost onto the grass. Remember to use you rudder!
