FSX

[wobblyone]

For any guys into flight sims I just had to post these pics of the P47 and Spitfire by 'A2A'
If you want realism, try flying these babies
If you like these warbirds, the P40 and P51 are in development and look to be outstanding ;D
IMO the B17 is the best. After I installed this aircraft I could quite happily delete all the default FSX aircraft !
These addons are not cheap , but once experienced there is no turning back ;D

FAO McGuirk.
Here is the link to the Guernsey scenery.

I am waiting for Jersey, but it all looks dam good !
My Dad has installed the'Earth Simulations' Guernsey package and I will be checking it out this week.

Those coastlines look great. I didn't realize Guernsey was so small.

Yes McGuirk, unfortunately Jersey is not much bigger

LOL, this is a small group of islands off our north coast (at high tide)

Nice shot McGuirk. Very atmospheric with the mountains in the backdrop.
I will have to check this out.

Welcome to Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Intl, this is our final stop, thank you for choosing Delta Virtual Airlines.



FSPassengers Rating is what is exported to Virtual Airline companies to tell them what and how well their pilots did in flight, this measures passenger comfort, service, and how well you obeyed FAA regulations. Pictures will be made available when flights are concluded, hope you enjoy!

BONUS PICTURE:This is what I look at for hours sometimes

[wobblyone]

Looks lovely Spartan.

EDIT:
Pics have disappeared Spartan
I might try the same flight for comparison with FSX.

[mcguirk2]

On the ground at Oroville, Washington. 6 miles from the Canadian border.

[mcguirk2]

The westward trip continues...

[backtothefight64]

Nice pics guys, although not really interested in trying FSX myself, mainly due to the fact you can't blow sh!t up !

[wobblyone]

Bit of reverse thrust at KMSP there Spartan

[Spartan0536]

I am trying to sort out through the REX forums about why when I fly at FL360 (36,000 Feet) in my 757 that i got jolted around like a ragdoll and my Airpseed went from Mach .82 to Mach .97 in 1 second, all my pitot and Anti-icing systems were working 100% so its very mind boggling, also checked the REX WaSYS and my in game Radar, nothing was in my area especially at my flight level, considering the flight on hold as in real life this would be treated on the ground as a "technical situation", every day that this goes on I will add on 1 hour to my flight time departure, so far I'm at a 30 minute delay.

[mcguirk2]

Spartan, I think the problem you mentioned is not REX specific. It happens with other weather add ons as well the default FSX weather. Its a known issue that causes instant wind shifts when moving from one weather station to the next. I've had several instances, when at cruising altitude, and using auto throttle that the aircraft would instantly go to an "overspeed" condition and then moments later go back to a safe speed. Maybe one of the new simulators will sort this out. Active Sky Evolution has a switch call "smooth transitions" that helps but does not completely eliminate the problem.

[mcguirk2]

Spartan, do you recall when we were discussing flight simming the other night and I was hoping some developer would create a cessna 402c for fsx. Look what I found...
