following my last flight in the cascades for the freeware screenshot forum, i just had to do another one. but this time i wanted to see how well  the beech 1900c will do on those tiny bush airstrips Grin. so i loaded her up with as little payload and fuel as possible and yeah i actually got her in the air Cheesy. what followed was the most beautiful, scenic flight i ever did in fs until i got a CTD right on final Angry Angry Angry Sad. i was really looking forward to trying to land the thing on a really short and difficult to approach airfield!... ah well next time  Roll Eyes

i still got some shots out of it though, and i'm quite happy with them, especially the last one


still waiting for a bunch of students who i gotta take up to the mountains for a hiking trip or something Tongue
...


weather was crap, visibility wasn't the best Roll Eyes
...


a student took this pic right after takeoff
...


after i got through those rain clouds, the view was fantastic Cheesy
...


and of course i had the best seat to enjoy the scenery in all its glory Grin
...


this was my favorite moment. getting ready to descent through the broken evening clouds Smiley
...


CTD happend a few minutes after the last pic Sad

hope you enjoyed and thanks for looking

lol your right Grin. well there could have been at least 2 students with the overall weight, not really a bunch though. oh and their backpacks were chucked outta the window when they weren't looking  Grin

the scenery is a combination of things, the link is on this thread http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=screen;action=display;num=.... it's all freeware, except in the last shot there's a little Ultimate Terrain coming through Wink

CTD = crash to desktop

My only gripe...I have to keep changing the Vertex level back to 19 to fly there and Thunder bay, and to 20 to do the River Gorge and Victoria falls...

Oh well!  It's cool scenery!

And speaking of the Gorge, Sandmann has released an update that makes it even better!

yeah that's a bit annoying. what would actually happen if you don't change it? does it mess up the terrain?

Yep...I at first thought I had a mesh incompatibility, then I read the readme (slaps himself)...

Now I have two copies of the FS9.cfg file...this isn't the only scenery I have with this issue (Thunder bay also needs 19).

mhmm, could my crash be related to this? i read that there can be conflicts with the georender series and i actually did get a crash when i tried to start a flight at the georender6 scenery. i think it explained some stuff in the readme about putting the mesh files somewhere else and whatnot, it became all a bit confusing to me. is someone using georender scenery together with this and could explain how to get it to work together? Kiss

or it actually might be a problem with ultimate terrain, since it does cover parts of the area. i dunno

Or might you have the "render to texture" unchecked (my sim won't load most areas if I uncheck that...)

actually yes i do have it unchecked. i don't even know why. i think either something required it or i read somewhere it increases performance. i always had it unchecked and never got a crash though ???. i'm going to try it with checked, let's see if it helpes. thanks for the help jordon
