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

thats tempting stuff there...I've been looking at your screenshots and its all beautiful. Will it be a problem if I have other scenery addons like Ultimate Terrain or textures like Ground Environment, or use REX ground Textures? Also, how is the performance hit? I know I wouldn't have much problem running some GA stuff, but what happens when you run the Heavies?

Works fine with REX, UTX, and GEX, I have all three. Certain areas do tend to put a bit of strain on, but you can improve it by backing off autogen a little. There is also an adjustment in FSX.cfg that will help, but I'm too tired to remember it right now.

FSX, we've come a long way baby! Skunk Works is an official alias for Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Development Programs (ADP), formerly called Lockheed Advanced Development Projects. Skunk Works is responsible for a number of famous aircraft designs, including the U-2, the SR-71 Blackbird, the F-117 Nighthawk, and the F-22 Raptor. Its largest current project is the F-35 Lightning II

PNW first, as the transition from airport to default scenery will not be very pleasing to the eye.

The order of the rest are pretty much personal taste. But my suggestion would be Walter Sutton's Place and Stark's Twin Oaks,

simply because one is in Washington, the other in Oregon.

PNW alone makes Darrington and Concrete look pretty good, so maybe Orcas Island next. But as I said, the order of the airports is mostly personal taste. You might get PNW and fly

around each of the airports listed before making your decision.

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