I took off from Toronto in a 737-200 Air Canada aircraft and made my way to the airport closest to my home in Staten Island, NY.

I was sad to leave my girlfriend in Rochester, and the ride to Toronto to catch the only flight to Newark on the 14th was a long and boring one, but it's nice to be back home!

Here are some pics:

-Making some adjustments after takeoff, just over the border of New York in the Buffalo area:
...

-At level flight near Rochester.  Don't the pilots look like they're having fun?
...

-After about an hour of level flight, Air Traffic Control gave me the order to begin a descent.  Here I am at 9000 ft.
...

-I'm getting close to home!  There are the hotels, those two annoying orange things that I see from the New Jersey Turnpike all the time, and Giants Stadium!
...

-After flying over the stadium, I made my final turn to my assigned Runway, 22L.  I think I'm a little low, though.
...

-The flight lasted 1.4 hours and it was a nice and smooth ride.  This is my first screenshot series, and I'm terribly addicted to this game now.  Here I am parked at the gate.  I'm home!

Nice to see you are enjoying long flights. I like em to!

Bit jagged edges in the screens perhaps, but don't worry, mine are also far from perfect... Wink

Well, not everybody has the computer to use AA while flying the sim, so I don't really care about jaggies.

And Omag...from CYYZ to KEWR, that's not what I'd call a long flight  Wink

Tell that to my girlfriend, she'll disagree ...  Grin

About my edges remark: I am not trying to critisize other members, for the record. I only try to give some "advice" (ahum). Hope no-one is offended by that

Nice Job!! It is definetly Addicting isn't it!!  Grin

I think the edges of your pics can be smoothed out a little bit by disabling your anti-aliasing in FS and enabling it on your vid card settings. (worked for me!)

Anyway...keep em' coming!

In the display settings in FLight Sim, disable Anti-Aliasing. Then goto to your display settings for Windows and turn on Anti-Aliasing there....
