Overall great shots but hard to choice.
I recognize two ACs that I've used in recent screenshots.

Looks like a winning shot to me. This Newport package is a real nice one except it had some bugs in it when I downloaded it awhile back. Sound didn't work in FSX. I had to add a set of sound files. Also no thumbnails in the texture files. So I had to make my own. I wonder if those problems have been fixed?

Well as to the sound what I did was delete the sound file folder that came with it and copied the sound file folder from my Sopwith Camel B6291 to the Newport folder. Sounds like a pretty good match to me. Making the thumbnails for the texture folders is no big deal. Just takes a little time.

This should be easy enough to sort out. The Sound.cfg is aliased to the FS9 default Spirit of St Louis

[fltsim]
alias=spirit_of_stlouis\sound

The quickest way to fix it would be to re-alias it to an FSX default aircraft. Use the exact folder name like this

[fltsim]
alias=Aircreation_582SL\sound

Of course, you could alias it to a more suitable 3rd party aircraft like the Camel if you have it, providing it has its own sound files & is not aliased itself.

For the thumbnails try Autothumbnail v2 here ---> http://www.simviation.com/fsxutilities1.htm
