Well this was different for me....I was getting ready to take off when I forgot I had turned up the AI traffic and there was lots around this Carribean location, so I decided to take up a position and see if one would lead me on a full trip......meaning a departure from where I was leaving, and arrival at some airfield....destination unknown ?.....Lets to see if we run out of fuel before we land......getting in the " Follow" mode now......right after take-off, it took me a few mins to catch up and get in position for some shots........once there though, my screenshot utility did stellar performance for me, once again !

A commercial aircraft is a vehicle capable of supporting itself aerodynamically and economically at the same time.

Actually I was only a little high ???.....I was following here and wasn't able to be wing-man, and photographer, while still making the normal approach
..........try it and see how hard it is to keep position with a bird that give you no warning of when its going to do something.....

Ahh lovely shots. I love the Carribean. I've only been there once mind you. It's the place I mainly fly from in St Lucia called Hewanorra. Its a great secluded airport with not much but a few cessnas and the odd 737.

OK, I'm back from St Lucia, in the Caribbean and it looks very similar to the place which I frequent........thanks for the head-up on it.....its going into my saved flights.......
There is however, much more traffic to deal with at Bird. Here I was just checking out how my Moth textures were looking in a busy environment.......on startup, I get two Dash 8's, an MD-80, two Piper Cherokee's, one Cessna 182.......and within a few mins I get a Lear, another MD-80 and a 182 arriving.......

During a Solo Flight, I took out the Piper Warrior, and a Friend of mine took out the Archer, we flew formation.....I got banned from flying for a while.
Instructors at the airport did not one bit like that....

If you keep flying along the coast of St' Lucia you will find a nice secluded little airport for Island hopping dash 8's (or thats all I saw coming in when I was there) called George F. L. Charles airport. Its good for short hops to Antigua.

I really don't think I have downloaded any aftermarket pkg for AI, but am looking into it to see if I can find something which may indicate it........unless there is a bump in performance from using any of the GeoRender things....?
