Goodly morning all....

Recently I purchased several West Coast ORBX Sceneries and a couple of Payware Aircraft.

Just got this electronic gizmo (that I am sure hates me) up and running reasonably well or well enough to keep it from the bottom of the river...

I always used the Microsoft Flight Simulator Programs from FS98 up to FSX as Instrument Training Aids and consider them a pretty good game.

Now what I am trying to accomplish are some fly-in camping trips with a good little amphibious bug smasher.

I have started off with the Cessna 185 Amphibian as could not find another amphibian a little smaller that was freeware.

Hello Doug...

I suppose it depends on what you mostly use the Flight Simulator for, and specialise in, eg;

(a) Flying...(pretending to fly aeroplanes!)..and just admiring the surrounding scenery in the process.... ...!
(b) Taking Amazing Screen Shots!.... ...!

I always stick to (a), and very occasionally press "Print Screen" just to show that I am still awake!... ...!

Paul...FS 2004...(and pretending to fly aeroplanes)... ...!

I personally do both,I enjoy the scenery and when I see what could be a nice shot (usualy takeoff at bowerman ) I pause it,look for a nice angle,unpause and continue flying.

If you have a spare button on your flight stick, you could move the screen shot on to that. Then you dont need to look down on the board

I too mostly pause the flight.

Thanks for the replies folks...

nicely modeled and fun to fly.

Thanks Ang2dogs, much appreciated and will have a look at that Link...

Just a note.
"My first shot I posted of this camping trip in my opinion is a disaster, it is the take-off from Misty's Place in Alaska and the ground detail is awful."

Its a good idea to let the scenery, inside fsx, gets an update, every time you change/omits anything that has to do with sceneries

Thanks bass...much appreciated...
