Goodly morning all...

The Cessna 337 is one of the finest aircraft we have owned over the years and one of the better Cessna's.

Not happy with the radios in this model as they are difficult to tune during simulated flight in turbulence.

Season is summer and flight is AM

Still trying to show some form of movement and speed...

Comments and advice most welcome... Wink

Hi Doug.

Very nice shots !
I'm a bit worried by your FPS though, it seems to drop a bit too much for such a "desertic" area, it should have kept much more steady than this. Is it due to the weather or to the aircraft ?

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Aha! Its bothered me since i got my hands on this wonderful aircraft, the 'sim blokes' inside - they defo seem to be up to somthing by the looks on there faces, i also note sometimes you only get one 'sim bloke' but in one or two of the liveries you get two, as here. Just what ARE they up to?

Nice shots though Wink

Hi Stephane...

Not sure about the drop in the frame rates.

What I normally do when I get to a point to take a shot is:
-pause the flight
-move the aircraft around to see if I can get a better angle
-wait for several seconds when I find the angle I want
-start flight
-take shot as quickly as I can

Perhaps I am not waiting long enough for the frame rate to come back to where it should be as I am very quick at taking the shot after starting the flight.

The other thing I noticed was the rain on the aircraft windshield during takeoff and on the ramp while in cockpit mode, but did not see any raindrops bouncing off the runway on takeoff.
I found that odd.

The sound of the rain was loud and almost realistic when on the ramp prior to taxi to the runway.

Thanks again for the comments Stephane... Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Great shots Doug. Maybe this will help,maybe not. I use a freeware program called GameBooster. Sorry no link but an easy google. I activate it first, it shows me all the games/sims i have on my rig. Then I launch it and it shuts down all my programs not needed while i'm flying. I got a 40% increase in my FPS. Especially around crowded airports with my AI on. Couldn't hurt to try and very easy to install/uninstall if you don't like it. I really dig mine Wink
