Hi all,

No I haven't registered at all to the MS Flight beta tests. Instead, I'm just enjoying my FSX Cool

I made some quick shots, nothing great but the result was better than I expected, so I thought I would share.

Enjoy

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Great Job

Where did you get the scenery?

The scenery is the freeware photorealistic "Ironscenery" Kauaii island (one of the Hawaii islands), made by Richard Sorochak. You can find it right here at Simviation:

Thought that was it, [sigh] time to start the 12 hour download again (failed first time after 11h 55m of download time Cry

)

Ah yes, I know that pain :/
I wonder if the SimViation servers allow the usage of download manager programs ?

I remember there was an A5 released months ago on SimV, and one was just put up a few weeks ago. Are they any different? The ones in these shots look much better than the original one.

Well I don't know.
This one is native FSX, with self-shadows for example. The virtual cockpit is nice but it's pretty dull compared to the MS Flight beta screenshots (in fact, the VC would need some "modern" textures inside, the 3D shapes are not bad). Same goes for the external model.
Let's say that by choosing my view angles, I managed to make it look good

could also use some nav systems

Great shots Cool

"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"

That icon is just the bomb. I couldn't stop flying it for the first few months I had it.
And Anyway, I'm sure we can make the fsx look much better than "flight".
And plus, Outerra will have great graphics Cool

. Just in case.

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.
