F-14 (Dino's of course.

Thanks for looking.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Like the weather effects - last two especially. In number four, did you get the color change by turning towards the sun or by editing?

Excellent shots, Larry...

...!

I love the ground textures in the shots...

My FS 2004 area of China Lake appears just as bright red/orange; "sand"?

Indeed, everything in Eastern California and the Nevada Desert appears as boring old, repeating texture, bright red dust... Sad

...!

...I tend not to spend too much time there!.... Wink

...!

I find the "Desert" areas of the Flight Sim, (like Nevada and Arizona), to be not very realistic, or convincing!*

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004...REX, GE Pro and VOZ... Cool

...!

* ...nothing like they appear in the old Cowboy films!... Grin

Editing. I was experimenting. Roll Eyes

Thanks Paul.

One of the first things I noticed about FSX, that it depicts deserts better. And then when you add Antonio and Holger's Death Valley and Grand Canyon, it really gets better.

I understand why you fly FS9, but I'm not sure I'm ever going back. Maybe if I get to missing certain aircraft or sceneries that I can't have in FSX... Roll Eyes

But right now, I'm as happy as a pig in slop, Grin

'cept for being exhausted. Need sleep.
