I can't make out the first one... The second one looks like You're just east of the Garden Peninsula headed toward Door County..... On the third one, you're west of Beaver Island, with the Straits of Mackinac in the easterly distance..

I'm going to an informal fly-in on Beaver Island in April...

Neat shots !!

Nice. I love the afterburner at dusk. Cool

What's with no HUD though? That's probably my favorite part of that F-16. Just curious. Wink

Brett, you're dead on, took off out of Delta County and just flipped it around the area a few times.

As for the no HUD, I'm ummm, still going through the manual and learning all the bells and whistles Grin

Thanks for all the compliments!!

Just in case you're curious and don't want to have to page through the manual, to turn on the HUD:

Flip all the switches that are circled in this picture:

Then click the wheel circled here:

And your HUD should be up and running like in the last picture.

Apparently, Aerosoft did such a good job programing the HUD, it's actually used as a professional trainer!

Also, I don't know how I missed it before, but that last shot is awesome (yours, not mine Grin

).

Thank you Mobious, for the compliment on my last shot, I thought it was good too, so I posted it.

And another thank you for the tip, I'm gonna go for a spin now and see what I come up with, I'll name the thread after you!!!

On another note...Harold!!! I have yet to thank you for all the helpful tips you have posted in other threads (over the past three years that I have been reading your posts)

I (as a new screenshooter) have been going off of a lot of advice from the pros in all the forums, if I haven't thanked you yet, your day will come!!!

The Truck.
