Inspired by club108's Hawaiian tour, I decided to do my own. But in much more style Wink

It has such an amazing interior Grin

Finally in the Air

Rounding the mountains

Turning before landing

I forgot to take more pictures because The Avanti is difficult to land

Great aircraft Cool

It looks like you could turn up your scenery settings a little.........also, here's a link to some great freeware photoreal scenery of Kauai and Niihau:

And a terrain mesh for the Hawaiin Islands:

These add-ons will make your flights around Hawaii much more interesting Wink

"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"

Thanks Chuck, I'm playing on a laptop so if I put everything above "Very High" I get Below 10fps Cry

Here is the link to the aircraft

I'm on a laptop to albeit a i3 powered one I know your problem. What I do though is pause for shots turn everything to MAX take the shot then turn everything down. Then you get a very pretty picture.

Ahh, now I remember where I found those people,
I found them on some deserted island where their pilot left them Grin

Actually, sand had busted up the right engine, and water was messing up the left engine. Also, I'm too far out for anyone to come help us. I'm working on it right now. Thank goodness I bring ALL my aircraft information with me.
Atleast NOW they regret making me land on the beach. Smiley
