hi everyone, first post here.

just some shots from a short flight over the bavarian alps. hope you like them and i hope i'm doing this right, please tell me if i'm doing something wrong, i'm not really a forum pro

that's what i meant with not being a forum pro hehe. anyway, hope it works now
i had alot more images but i guess it would be too big, so thats all i could upload.

hope you enjoy them

thanks andrew

the scenery is Real Germany 3 and the cessna is freeware by Guidée François-Denis with textures by Massimo Grassi. dunno if it's in the library here but it's "cessna_206_ipaal.zip" on avsim

yeah it's by aerosoft. i was quite happy when it came out coz finally they covered my hometown , but it comes down hard on my system and i do get very long texture loading times occasionally . still a decent scenery overall tho.

i use 2d cockpits mostly so i haven't spend much time in the vc of the cessna yet. seems alright at the first look but you have to test it urself coz ur probably more the specialist in that subject

yeah i dunno why i'm into the 2d panels at the moment. at the beginning i thought i would never use one but that changed. maybe coz i'm too lazy to pan around the vc? . i do like very detailed vcs tho but they also tend to hit the FPS quite a bit. i prefer the more photorealistic 2d panels (the captain sim 727 for example) to the normal ones tho coz it just looks...well, realer lol.

yeah the lack of autogen certainly helps with the framerate and actually the framerate is really good with the scenery but the problem is the loading of ground textures. sometimes it works fine and sometimes it just doesnt load properly (so the texture stays blurry) and u have to hit pause to make them load properly . i'm sure the problem can be solved and i read some posts of people with the same problem that came up with solutions. just have to keep trying and adjust stuff and maybe play around with the fs9.cfg a bit hehe.

actually i live in kent at the moment but my hometown is in bavaria. it's up in the north of the state tho, so it's not very spectacular to look at in the scenery coz there r no mountains at all
