I was getting ready to take a nice little trip over to Watertown SouthDakota, I have my awesome GPS set for there, I take off, then realize that I do not know how to use the auto-pilot, so I circled around and landed back at Marshall Minnesota and told my boss the weather was to bad, witch it was!

Hope you enjoy!

Very Nice!

If you want to use the Autopilot with GPS then just switch the NAV-->GPS switch to GPS and then activate the Autopilot and that should keep you on course.

Thank you!


I have my Flight Simulator maxed out on everything except my coulds.  Clouds really make your frame rates go, so I turn the setting down to 65%

Other than that, I have everything to the fullest it can go.

My Resolution is at the largest one 1280x1024, I don't if i should do this...but that is what I set it at.  

With all my settings maxed out I get about 18fps at my airport (kind of small).  At an airport like meigs I get about 10-15fps.


Thanks for the comment, I appreciate them very much, I don't get much anymore...I wish I never made people hate me.

when your framerate is lower than 20fps, your game doesn't have a fluent movement of single pictures anymore. your game begins to stutter.

got it now?

The third shot is really good. Wink  Nice trees.

Anyway, I find below 12fps makes my sim stutter.  I need to delete a lot of old planes I don't fly and repaints I don't use at all...

The only real problem I have with my sim is that it won't load daytime textures in winter.  Really wierd. Roll Eyes  The sim just comes up with an error after loading 9%. Undecided

Thanks Whitey, I appreciate it...My shots still arent as good as yours, but thanks.


Which resolution is best for the best looking shots?  I have found that when bring down the file size the shots get blurry.

Hi Exel.... Grin...!
I run FS 2002 in 1024 X 768 32 bit resolution, but after saving the pics I then have to reduce the size to 800 X 600 to comply with the Forum Screen-shot Rules keeping the size to less than 100KB...(if possible... Roll Eyes...)...!
They do loose a little of their detail then, and the sides of the picture gets lost.

By the way....
...a little bit of help needed... Grin...!
Taking multiple screen shots in quick succession with the "Grab-Clip-Save" program....
Where on earth do the pictures get saved to...?
(Previously I used to save, (Print Screen), screen pics to the clipboard and the save them from there, one by one,...a fiddly, long-winded job... Cry....)...!
Remember that each consectutive save, over-rides the previous one in the Clipboard...!
I have scoured my hard drive for a "special" Grab-Clip-Save folder where I would expect to find all the seperate, multiple, shots which I have taken....nuffin'....!

Any help there anyone...?
...thanks...

Cheers...

Excel, your graphics are looking great now, nice pics.

I have my FPS set at 20 max and never go above that and find that everything runs fine, except when the terrain or scenery gets very complicated or I try a poorly made addon. Meigs always seems to be hard on the FPS as well.

Keep up the good work,
