Goodly afternoon all...

Myrtle my Cessna 305C hates to go back to the hanger.

When we go out for a flight she forgets all about my bladder or my Happy Hour with the old girl at the Legion... Grin

FSX and Windows 7
Aircraft....Cessna 305C on wheel/skis
Season....Winter...near dusk
Location...Cottage country just north of City of Toronto,
Ontario, Canada
...on a frozen lake
Weather...snowing

Have a look at the Simviation Download Site for some neat stuff for FSX... Wink

I want Myrtle to land close to that point on the frozen lake...

Never mind wanting to buzz those vehicles Myrtle, I got to go to the bathroom...

You are not doing another takeoff Myrtle...or your seat and my pants will both be wet... Shocked

Are you going to let me out?... Roll Eyes

Comments and advice most welcome... Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

The last two shots are quite nice.
I wish there were an addon for improving the FSX snow fall...

The colors of the first one are interesting. How did you achieve that ? Huh

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Thanks Stephane...

Yes the snowfall like the ice surface really does need improving in FSX... Wink

Not sure how that first picture came out with the colours unless it was the change between day and dusk and I caught it at the right time... Grin

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Wow. You really like the snow, don't you Grin

You are a master at these screenshots sir Cool

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.

Thanks again "hyperprep111" for the comments.

But what I have learned so far about screenshots comes from the advice and comments from members here like "Daube" Stephane and many others.

That is why Simviation is such a wonderful site... Wink

We love all four seasons here in Canada and I try to fly the simulator in the season that we are presently in.

One reason I think these designers need to make their aircraft designs in all configurations and not make the same mistake Microsoft did in FSX with only showing the Beaver on floats... Lips Sealed

As an aviator I enjoy flying in all four seasons almost as much as chewing the rag at the bugsmasher flying club with those other Old Retired Rocking Chair Flying Geezers who like to tell tall tales.... Roll Eyes

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
