Inspired by Triple_7's pics found here. 8) http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=screen;action=display;num=...

Despite the "Quality" settings, I'm not too happy with the overall quality, - in some respects, considering his system specs, Triple_7's seem better!

Anyway, quality isn't the issue here.

The fact we now have to tell our kids of the days we used to cross the atlantic in under 3 hours most certainly is! Undecided

Music whilst you fly, an absolute must IMHO Wink

She's off....

Up up & away...

I Seriously need to tweak this fs install! - Those clouds! - Yuk! Embarrassed

And off she go's into history.... Sad

Worth remembering, its cheaper per mile by Concorde than it is by London taxi. Tongue

Thanks for the compliments. Grin

i dont know why your pics are not coming out. you dont get that quality when flying do you???

i noticed that you have your fps locked at 51 you might take it down to 25 or less. probably closer to 20. you will have a smoother flight that way Wink

what are you using to take those shots. im using Grab Clip Save and it seems to work fine.

if you get that quality while flying than you probably need a new graphics card.

i just got a GeForce4 64 mb chip today. it seems to be almost perfect even with the senery set kind of high. id recamend it if it came to getting a new chip.

well i hope this helps i dont know to much else.

Well, considering I've got a 128MB Geforce FX5600, the new card can damn well wait! Wink

Alas, FS2002 has never given me very good results with screen shots I do freely admit though this effort is pretty feeble! Roll Eyes

I'll go away & re-work these shots, I'll use CFS2 which runs very very well on my system (well, most of the time!) I'm sure the results will be better!

Thanks for the input!

Paul.

The quality of the plane is pretty good, even if the weather isn't.

Nice pics Grin

I think, like Triple said, if you take back the locked FPS to about 20-25, you'll see an increase in quality. Probably your PC is working it's ass off to keep up the FPS.

Like the shots anyhow. Concorde is a beauty. Always.

music while flying?

nice idea,but IMHO,winamp takes up much too much system resources,which are missing for FS then.

a few tips:

at least siable the visualisation for WMP
set the max framerate to 25
put the cloud sliders as far right as your machine can handle

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

Yup Winamps pretty crap, thats why I'm using Media Player 9 , I know you should'nt run other apps whilst simming, but tunes help me float about the skies...... Wink

Cheers for the comments guys, as I used to post loads of CFS2 stuff a while back, I'd like to think my FS2002 efforts would be considerably better, alas, Roll Eyes

Time for this Celeron to find the dung heap!

Considering the price drop of intel CPU's upgrade time is here again! Roll Eyes

Music.. Must have!!

I wanted to comment.. winamp..
Winamp3 = resource hog... bad
Winamp2 = Grin

I play music in the background of FS2004.. and just about every other game I play.. Winamp2 is the best player i have found. It is lean and mean!!
