Good afternoon all... Wink

Just finished a three hour simulated flight with the Douglas DC3...C-ANDY.

As you will see CANADA is not very well depicted in any of the Microsoft Games like FS98, FS2000, FS2002, FS2004 and FSX is no exception.

The last shot which is a landing touch and go, the airport looks like it is situated on artificial turf... Grin

But a game is a game is a game and if we want better graphics then we need to pay more...that is not rocket science... Grin

Only took two shots so here they are....

FSX and Windows 7

Aircraft:  Douglas DC3 from Awesome 4Some
Repaint:  by andy190 "Andy"  Simviation Member
Location:  Land of the Midnight Sun
               Resolute Bay "CYRB"

Time is about Dusk...

EGADS Number One...I lost my sunglasses...how they going to know I am a Peelot...I know...we shall wait till dark to make a full stop landing...now you know why I am the four ringer Number One... Roll Eyes    Grin
...

Just a quick touch and go Number One...it is not dark enough yet... Shocked     Roll Eyes      Grin
...


Comments and advice most welcome... Wink
 

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Great shots, Doug 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"
