Good evening all...

Well several members have told me to try this so just downloaded it and did a short hop...

FSX and Windows 7
FSX Water Configurator...NOT ON
HDE Clouds
3D Lights
Aircraft: Spartan Executive
Location: Bowerman Airport "KHQM" Washington State
            United States
Free Demo from ORBX
Season: Fall and early morning "Dawn"
Payware: Flight 1 Ultimate Terrain X Canada
            Flight 1 Ground Environment X USA, Canada
            and Alaska

I wonder if there is a List of Airports and the States they are in as I do not see one.
If someone has a list would you place the Link here Please.

There is nothing like visiting a Great Airport Cafe...meat pies, hotdogs, hamburgers, onion and cheese sandwiches, tea, coffee...darn I am getting hungry again...

Gear going UP

Comming onto Downwind in a slight climb...Traffic...cockpit check...well you all know the routine...

She roars like a Lion but purrs like a Kitten...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Cool shots Doug, I love that takeoff one

Bowermann is one of the nicest-looking place in the PNW demo, and it's also close to the southern limit of the area included in the demo. From there, you might want to fly north to explore. The demo will cover the whole peninsula (that big triangle) up to the sea. A nice little airfield to try is Sekiu 11S, a lovely little runway right behind the hills facing the sea. Landings and takeoffs are easilly spectacular there Wink

EDIT: I found a small map on another forum, it gives a good idea about the area covered by the demo:

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Stephane will send you an e-mail on the Bloom...still not sure about it... Wink

Still can not move map onto 2nd monitor and keep it there.

GPS works great on the 2nd monitor and I can size it also, it is just the map that will not stay.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

I have received your email Doug.
Concerning the map problem, I think you should create a new topic especially about that in the FSX discussions part of the forum, you might get some feedback from the guys who are using several monitors like you Wink

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Awesome shots Doug, especially #2 & #3.

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

Looks awesome Doug

"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"
