well i purchased a galaxy membership at fsgenesis last night, so my entire sim-world is now payware. that means i won't be able to post much in the freeware section anymore .
i guess this forum will be my new home from now on. i will try to make myself comfortable and join dave and others that post more regulary here  

so here are some pics from my first flight from honolulu across the island and along the coast, going halfway around oahu. the plane is justflight's piper tomahawk



just crossed the island after takeoff from honolulu



moving along the coast and enjoying the mountain view



going in. i just love this terrain



leaving oahu's beautiful north-shore behind



the sun rises over the mountains, hawaii awakes



hope you liked them. alot more to come soon

Geez, Yurei....I'm starting to reconsider my no-payware embargo.  Two quick questions...what are your system specs and what's the framehit?

thanks guys

celeron 2.6ghz, 1gb ram (pc2700), 120gb hd, ati radeon 9800pro (128mb), 17" sony tft screen.
my pc is a nightmare but i won't be able to afford anything new for a long time .

i haven't noticed any framehit at all really. this one is just a mesh and landclass, it shouldn't have much impact on your system i'd say. i got frames locked at 18 and last time i checked they were going around from 15 to 18. sorry, can't give more detail on this at the moment, i normally only check frames when it's going extremely bad (like with almost all payware airports   ) hope it helped buddy

EDIT: hang on, i probably shouldn't say it won't have an impact on your frames since i don't know your specs. either way, i doubt the impact will be big.

You're welcome, and thank you.
When I first got FS2004 in Feb, I was constantly flying around Oahu. Mainly the Ford airstrip (I don't know the real name for it), but it was cool to take off from there, circle around the Arizona memorial, then swing over to Honolulu international to land. It's a great place to try out new aircraft.

Are you kidding me? A Celeron? I went through oh lets say 20 celerons in 2 years...... Needless to say my mother never learned her lesson lol... I think the AMD works better, but if its your budget have a go Cheers, Gunny


PS: Dont do what I did and somehow blow it up while flying

lol i know, like i said, my pc is a nightmare. it's been going for over two years tho and i won't buy anything new till this one dies . but at the moment it's going resonably well. mind you, i already spend too much money to upgrade this thing (it used to have 256mb ram and a geforce fx5200 ). i also don't use this pc for anything but fs and the internet. so all hardware upgrades will be for fs only and as i tend to waste too much money on payware i'm really planning to wait till it dies on me. otherwise, no new processor

OK Yurei. Thank you very much.

Yurei I am getting a summer job this year (after school too) and building me a comp solely based on FS, But I dont play Just FS, Doom3, and some other good games run about, prolly going to put me down about 3000 dollars in total, if you build a PC based on FS..... it will do anything almost  Cheers, Gunny
