Preparing for a little game of cat and mouse.........

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"

The formation lights are the wrong color. They should be "lime" colored, not "blue..." Wink

Oh no........I'll immediately start flooding Cpt. Sim with angry letters about their incorrect colored lights....at least two or three Wink

Seriously though......maybe I can change the color from the cockpit??

Great shots chuck Shocked

The lights look lime to me Grin

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.

They look sea green/blue green in the default FSX Accelertaion one. Huh

Maybe we should get some pics of real life ones real quick.

Great shots!

I can't wait for the VRS "F" model, I almost bought this to tide me over though Grin

. Does it fly just like the acceleration one? They developed the default F/A-18 right?
