Hi all,

Strange title ? Well, the fact is that Fozzer made that recent topic where he was cruizing above some very nice and peacefull scenery with his Cessna 150... In he past few weeks, I've had a nasty "warbird time", where I wouldn't really fly anything that some of these WWII gems we have in FSX.... and Fozzer has just given me back that "low and slow" fever.  Cheesy

So here it is: a short flight at down in a slow plane at low altitude  Grin
Although there is some payware scenery, I wanted to focus on the following elements:
- the low
- the slow
- the freeware ENB bloom customized by the guys from REX (variant: "sunlight")
- the freeware Cessna 152 by JustFlight
- the sky and clouds textures are freeware too, from Pablo Diaz (sky) and probably the freware FS Skyworld2004 for the clouds.

Departure from Darrington Mun. It's 19:00 PM already. At the destination, Concrete Mun, the runway has no lights, so I shouldn't loose any time, else the landing is going to be problematic. Leaving the parking:
...



Takeoff from runway 28:
...

...



The route is quite simple: follow the valley, first to the North with the river, and then to the West.
...



That left turn to the West is over there, next to these "not so distant" mountains  Cool

Wonderful Shots.... Smiley...!

..in my favourite little aeroplane, for exploring the countryside at low level. One of the best little craft for the job!

I must admit that my greatest enjoyment of the Flight Sim(s) is exploring the scenery around me, at low level, in different parts of the World that I would never be able to visit in real life!

The USA Western Seaboard is my favourite area to explore, together with Google Street Maps, with its ever-changing terrain, and a surprise around every corner!

P.S....watch those angry clouds!..Baby Cessna's don't take kindly to them!... Wink...!

I have been using Pablo's cloud, that is true. However, because they had quite an impact on the FPS, I also switched to one of the cumulus textures offered in FS Skyworld 2004, and that might still be the ones you see in these shots Smiley

Note that my cloud draw distance is currently set to 160 kms, which means the slider is set one crank after the half. With such a distance, my weather looks fantastic  Cool but the drawback is that I cannot afford to install 1024x1024 cloud textures, the impact on the FPS would be fatal. I have to stay with 512x512 textures, and I'm extremely happy with the results Smiley
