I have passed by Manhattan on many nights actually flying an Aero Commander and twin Beech and what I saw then I am seeing again on a PC screen. The simularity is uncanny.

This is the same beautiful view you see from the air today.

I have always wanted to do this in a Bell H-13 Helo. Now all I have to do is fire up my PC.

I have actually flown this approach to landing at JFK on numerous occasions. Nothing that I saw then during the approach has changed from what I see now on this screen.

This is the real world.

Wonderful shots and commentary...well done...

FSX like the Flight Simulator Games before it does not depict Canada very well, as a matter of fact, hardly at all...

The West Coast of British Columbia only is not bad, I would give it a rating of 50% but otherwise the rest of the country shows incorrectly and poorly in the games, especially most airports... Grin

Hope "Flight" does better... Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

O to own a PC that can perform like that! Sadly I don't have £1000 + to spend on a system but those shots are truly amazing!

Uh... I got a new rig for 5000 sek, about 477 gbp. (same case and psu and drives: just a new mobo, cpu, memory and gfx)

Anyway, to the OP: don't you get the "ran out of memory" message? Everytime I set anything to ultra dense it just doesn't like it.
