Once again I must applaud those out there who take the time and put the effort into the Aircraft available on the Simviation web site... I decided enough was enough and treated myself to a brand new up-to-date fast PC over the Easter Holidays along with a copy of "Just Flight's" FS TERRAIN scenery upgrade.... The improvements to FS2004 are jaw droppingly very impressive and I need as much info from all you expert simmers out there on the best, most graphically visual areas of the world to visit.....

The more the merrier so keep 'em comin'.........

After crusing around the NW a lot, I have found Doherty's Dangerous Approaches. This is a collection of approaches in the best and worse places. Worth a look here and at Avsim. Grin

Yeah codered... me too. I have posted a few comments on those her before. They are fun. He has releases well over 20 volumes.

See "I hate it when that happens" thread in payware (cause of an effects file).

best,

I like Oshkosh and other sceneries with a lot of little details.

Some say my pinky toe was replaced with a fountain pen, and that I love to ride on nuclear bombs with a saddle. All I know is.... I'm called THE STIG!!!!

Personnaly, I like visiting the Seattle Area (since it's the biggest city from my home town) but I also like the forested/mountain regions of the P.N.W to get away from all the traffic and cities. Sydney and Cairns, Australia is pretty nice too. Grin

I personally fly around airports near me (Denver, Colorado) , around Washington, DC (cause I've been there) and also around the las vegas strip. Another fun spot is the London City airport- takeoff and fly low and fast along the river- right through town!

I often find myself in the south of France. There is a great package that adds to the south coast...proper houses and towns as well as ports and such.

Thanks to all who replied to my request... I'll be printing this off and taking a flight or two over all of your home towns.... Mount everest was one of the very first places I visited after installing the FS2004 TERRIAN upgrage from "Just Flight".... Stunning....

Feel free to take a tour Around Northern Ireland you guys... Fly around our coast from Belfast City to Eglington and then back to Aldergrove International... It's a very short tour but our island is very small...

Have a good weekend all..... Crank up plenty of flying hours...
