A Diamond in the rough...

weather that is. I picked a bad day to go flying down under. Real world weather and winds aloft of 30-40 knots. The little Twin Star got blown all over the place.

Leaving Hobart, headed for Launceston.










Updrafts and downdrafts scared me silly.





Part II

Thanks for looking.

Great shots Larry......very realistic looking
Your shots make this aircraft more intriguing than the shots at Iris Makes me wish I would have spent five more dollars

Thanks Chuck.
The funny thing is, I did not like it that much at first. But it probably had a lot to do with the jaggies and low FPS I was getting at the time. Now, I love it.

Just yesterday my framerates went South for no apparent reason.........ended up having to un-install and then re-install my video card and drivers :-?
For me, FSX is like my old 4 wheel drive. Sometimes, I spend as much time under the hood trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with it as I do enjoying it when it's working right

You can't hijack a party Truck, only join in. Old 4 wheelers never turn away a kindred spirit. Maybe it's not the right section for a discussion of this nature, but I have no  problem with it at all. I like 4WD. Saw a lifted jeep the other day and for a moment thought, "I wouldn't mind having one of those."

Very nice shots Larry...well done...

There is something about the looks of that aeroplane that I am not sure about.
I am not sure I like it or not.
It looks fragile to me although it probably is not.

It will have to grow on me like the Republic Seabee, then I bought one...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Thanks Doug.

It's not fragile, as far as I can tell. But it is light and I've never had one tossed around like that by winds aloft. On the other hand, I don't remember 40+ knot winds before either.
