".....We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard"

So said JFK

"Scenic Wonders Around The World..."
Well, this is certainly around the world so i hope it counts!!!

So how did i do this? You may well ask.*

*

Or maybe not

The LEM (abliet not brilliant! But the ONLY one i could find for fs2004) is from HERE

The scenery, well, where do you find a moon, space, and an earth? You cant find all three in fs2004, but you can if you download THIS

Its a bit odd, but involves flying inside a supposed NASA building training for the lunar missions in the LLRV, a flying bedstead type thing. So basically my shot is composed inside a building with a fake moonscape already lined up!!

I slewed the LEM inside and used fsrecorder to fly alongside it to get the angle and shot.....

There is a LEM for FSX and i tried the same stunt in that but failed.....

I figured most of the usual wonders on earth would be used in this competition, So hopefully the earth, and the moon, both natural wonders, and the 'man made' factor of the moon missions would be somthing different.

And now i will shut up

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

The rules don't allow shots from other sims Embarrassed

Or am I missing something here?
This isn't FS 2004 is it?

"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 highly doubt it.

I know I had taken a shot of earth and posted it before these two in the Screenshot showcase saying I should have entered it, but I doubt they took my idea.

This was one of my first contest entries.....the theme was "My Favorite Place to Fly"

I had to dig deep to find it:http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1284933177
