Just havin a bit of fun, first with the Carenado C208B, then the A2A Piper Cub, and lastly, the Carenado C172 Skyhawk.

Taking off at the beautiful Orbx: FTX Orcas Island Airport, with the wonderful and amazing Carenado C208B Grand Caravan.

A short bush flight with the A2A Piper J3 Cub.

And lastly with the Carenado C172.

Now, I've been preparing to become a pilot since I was about 13, I'm 15 now. I fly on real world weather, and I mainly fly in New Hampshire, which is where I live. But unfortunately, due to FSX's poor effort with controlling the seasons, it thinks there's snow in spring, on March 28, 2011. Cmon FSX Sad

If anyone knows a way to make there be grass in March in the Northeastern part of the U.S. while keeping the real world weather on, please do share how

Thanks for looking!

-Jake

Nice shots Jake, especially #1.

Just move the date forward until you get the desired result.

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

The odd thing is, I tried that once before, and since I kept the real world weather on, which I wanted to, it ended up snowing in May Shocked

Thanks for the compliment

Happy flying

Another thing you could try, is to use custom weather instead of real weather. Just try to create clouds and wind to match, but no precipitation.
