WOW that looks great! I may have to give this Xplane a try, all the shots you've posted look great, and it got a rather nice review in PC Pilot too. Man that water is stunning! Got any shots of some bluer tropical waters?

Ive been reading up...still not much in the way of add-ons yet...and it looks like the crew at xplane are focused on the iPhone app, a case of follow the money.....but there is a big update to version 9 in the works...

Up until this version I have never been so tempted to give X-plane another try. (I had bought version 6 and it was no good).

I guess I will wait some more to see how things around this X-plane version develop before I give it a shot.

Something that caught me off guard...a bird strike...a flock of birds were hanging out around the runway and BAMO! Shocked

Scared the crap out of me...had to ditch into the Hudson Grin

Now that's as real as it gets! Grin

Wonder if you can suck them into the engines too. Huh

All kinds of surprises with that sim.

X plane is just too complicated and my comp will not show it in a good quality.

Err 30kb limit?
