Great shots Renè Cool

I like the Star-fighter, who makes this model?

"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"

Nice shots, especially the last one.

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

Thanks allot. I don't have v3 but This video Should help. Wink

But trust me, This thing is HARD to fly Shocked

. You're just doing flying normally then the plane refuses to accept throttle and steering commands Shocked

. You really have to read the manual. That v3 is almost at the top of my list of to buy. At $20+ it's really cheap. But i'll most likely give them an extra $10 at least when I get the money Cool

.
Happy flying. and landings (one of the hardest ones to land Tongue

.)
Although I have to admit, I'm rather pathetic at flying this thing Lips Sealed

I actually Took this shots with you in mind to demonstrate the enbbloom and HDEv2 clouds for your entry. They cut frame rates by more than half but if you configure them properly, They can reduce frame rate hit and transform your fs9/x experience completely Shocked
