This has to be one of the tightest fits I have done in a while.......I came through once to test it, then turned on the smoke and did it again.........its tight....as you can see from the shadow, there's not too much room ....almost had to fold the wings a bit to clear these four cranes.............

Roll Eyes I'm new to MFS series, borrowed it from a friend of mine so I'm kinda exploring all the stuff on my own. I'm wondering if you guys can help a newbie out here. My question is... what's the command to release smoke like how he did in the picture? I've only seen smoke when i get to a certain height.. but now this low. and other thing is i'm trying to figure out what key to press in order to see the meters and everything [not panel] in 3rd person view or spot? I'm asking because i've seen it in pix before but never found out what button to press.  Undecided a little too much questions...

Hobo'

"I" is the smoke button, But not all
AC have smoke, You can add it to any
plane, the easest way is to open the
extra 300 "aircraft" file and copy the
[smoke]  
ect.
ect.
ect .
and paste it to what ever AC you want to
SMOKE!!!!

PS there's a real good smoke tut in the
downloads, 2002 mic. I think

Rifleman  Ozzy - - I am working on a new one for you.

Passing under the Coronado Bridge in Diego. Immediately looping and passing under it a second time at the bottom fo the loop.

Have accomplished it numerous times in vintage craft.

Have tried it twice at speed and failed so far. Clipping the bridge deck on second pass each time. So close, though!

I am using a Voodoo in full power dive so first pass under is at about 1200 knots.

Those cranes that you see in the pics that Rifleman provided can also be found at the Port of Miami (Miami, Florida, USA).

It's not that hard to find.

Fly East-South-East from Miami International Airport on runway 9R (active runway). Where you see the skyscrapers (Downtown Miami), fly past the American Airline Arena. It's on the Northern end of the area.

Immediatly, you will see a long, regular bridge that connects the area to a small Key.

From here, you can easily see the Port of Miami. The port is identified by its series of cranes (there they are). After that, have fun. Grin Wink

Miami is well known through its many titles. It also has so many airports and airstrips that if you check your GPS, you will see a cluter.

Anyways, nice pics Rifleman. Wink
