Great angle on the third one! Really shows off the detail of the plane nicely Cool.

From the look of your shots, it seems that the cameras in this sim are very similar to FS. What's your opinion on them? Smiley

Actually Im using a freeware plugin called izicam and it pretty much gives you any angle you want...Its very similar to fsrecorder without the record function...

My Xplane 9 looks like FS98, and if i increase graphics, i dont have silky smoothness. That, and i cant figure out which buttons do what.

Sorry to hear that, what kind of PC specs do you have?  All the key assignments are in the settings menu...pretty easy to figure out although not as plug and play as MSFS...I may have a slight edge on performance due to Linux which uses less resources out of the box...Look into tweaking whatever OS you run...NickN has a good set of tutorials for XP & I think Vista here....

I cant run this sim on full settings and I only bump up the autogen for screen shots, but I still maintain good FPS unless I get crazy with the autogen, AA and vehicle traffic Wink

Great looking paint on that PC-7!

I have, yet another, question. Does Xplanes ATC support IFR flight, and vectoring? Undecided

Wow, not bad. The graphics look somewhat like FS9's...At least to me. >.<

you can convert the AC to version 9, but I think this one works right out of the box un-converted
