Familiar places lost in the passage of time...

I often fire up my trusty FS 2004 and head for special places that I have visited in the past, many times, many years ago, and find that they no longer look the same, from my memory...

The magical little hills and valleys that I used to fly around at low level in default FS 2002 and default FS 2004, are not there any more....

Why?.... :o....

Because of all the fancy new scenery objects, textures, mesh , etc, that I have added over the intervening years!... :o...!

Its like visiting the area of my childhood, and being disappointed that it is no longer there, swallowed up by other things!... :'(...!

Do you ever notice the difference in certain familiar scenery spots, between your first outing in your brand-new, default flight sim, and what you see now with all your fancy add-ons... ;)...!

I spend ages looking for scenic memories from my FS 2002 and FS 2004 past which now look totally different, and often cause me to get lost!

...any one else?... ;)...!

Paul...now...where am I?.. ;D...!

Only after installing a new mesh for the place. Yes, I do sometimes. :D

Let the sober guy drive. >:(

If it makes you feel better, I have a near-photographic memory for places and faces, but almost no memory at all for names. One of these days I will forget my own name, you'll see. ;D

Then let a sober guy walk you home. Or better, a sober girl. ;)

Some times I get lost in my 1 bedroom apt. Just got home from the Pub. Won $100 on the shake 'o the day, so much for 2 pints & walking home. Great day, hope every one had the same. Oh, when I add Land Class, I always put it below My special stuff. I'd love to buy you one, but you are a ways away. So raise one for me & smile, I'm there with you.

Dave  :D
