Great shot 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"

This shot is brilliant! The best FSX shots are shots that show a context where it looks like something you would actually see, not just a random plane somewhere random!

Excellent angle!

Thank you for the very nice comments.

The plane can be downloaded from here, 2nd & 3rd from the top:

Repaint 4th from the bottom here:

Works very well in FSX, only issue I noticed was the prop/cloud issue but it is less obvious then most other planes. Nice exterior model. Not the best VC but it does the trick.

No effect on FPS on my rig.

Great shot! Definitely a rare aircraft, I had never seen anyone post a screenshot of it yet.
