Good one flyboy, definitely an original idea. Now I have to think of an original idea. The 757 is my favorite airliner next to the 727 and the 747, and the 777.... Cool

Homebuilt computer. Quad core Intel Extreme 2.93 Ghz processor, 8 gig of ram, Nvidia GTS 8500 video card. 3 digital flat panels with the Matrox digital triple head to go. Yoke and rudder controls from CH products.

Thanks, I was really trying to get the idea down right for about a week, i maxed out scenery complexity and autogen just for this screenie, it brought me down to 3 fps, but it was worth it in my opinion.

Cool shot! I like it! The only thing that springs to my mind is: "AI?"

Good luck!

Well, it was ether AI or pretty graphics, i was at 3 fps already, i don't think it would have been wise to add AI to the list of things that could slow me down.
