Thanks for looking.

Thanks Doug.

Yes, I really like this aircraft. I almost entitled this thread, "ATM does not always stand for auto-teller machine." Sometimes it stands for Ant's Tiger Moth. Roll Eyes

That is a super nice paint on the Moth - I usually use one with a roundel on it. So you're headed for Bonnie Scotland - if you were on floats, you could land on Loch Lomond.

I think that is one of the ones I got at OzX. It's certainly one of my favorites. But I don't think I have one with a roundel. May have to paint my own.

Been there, done that. But I'm going back, 'cause I like the scenery. Besides, I've been searching for castles there for over a year now and have yet to find one. Roll Eyes

Nice! All of 'em
Great shots

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

I was hoping someone would finish the line. And yes, it is a good verse.

Lived my first fourteen years there. Look up near Skye - a few miles east on Loch Duich. One of the more picturesque - Eilean Donan castle. Then, of course, my old home town - Edinburgh, has a castle

Thanks, I will check that out. These were taken near Edinburgh, but I wasn't looking for a castle at the time.

Default/Rex. I don't think GEX has any affect across the pond.

Yeah, I know. Neither is UTX, and the US/Canada bundle is 70 bucks. Why didn't they just do North America like they did for GEX? I don't fly in Canada as much as the US, but I still want the lower 48, Canada, & Alaska to look the same. Europe will have to wait until I get rich. UTX will just have to wait a little while.

Then there is FTX, individual scenery packs........

the ftx scenery is stunning for england, but as far as scotland goes, only the western isles have been done so far. a 4m mesh and 60cm per pixel can't be beat. plus it's a frame rate saver as there is no need for autogen.

Cool! But I am tired of Scotland and Ireland being neglected. The software designers need to get with the program. Angry
