Are you running Windows XP?

Go here, www.carenado.com and download it... also, get the patch for Windows XP (if that is what you are running). Works for me.

Yeah, the patch should have downloaded with it, but you really should get it. It does wonders...

Ken, do you have some co-ordinates for some good places? I went and it was nice, but nothing like I've seen in your shots

Kevin, I did a trip south down the south island in New Zealand, and the defaults weren't all that bad. I have another favourite place to see things like that in my own area here on Vancouver Island.....you can depart Comox and overfly Courtenay Airpark as you head for the Pacific.......if you fly a small A/C you can depart from Courtenay and turn into the island heading for the Comox Glacier.......there is some real nice scenery all over the island......

I've always been kind of partial to Yosemite myself. That is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. I stood on a cliff with my toes hanging over the edge and looked straight down 3200 ft. Awesome...

Go to Modesto and take off heading due East. After about twenty minutes you'll run into it. You'll know when. Also, I'm not sure if there is an airport at Columbia, that would be a lot closer.

Nice shots Kevin, why is it that no-one apart from me will fly the An-225 into the canyon?
I agree with Ken, NZ is one of the little known joys of FS. I've been spending a fair bit of time down there.
