Have many times considered making a video where I do a juicy approach. Too bad here in Europe we don't have alot of them, but things can get a little interesting in the Alps though

Sorry about the download time, but the file is on a 100mbit server though, so I blame your slow cable connection ;)

Yes I know exterior shots is desireable, but if i switched to exterior view, the aircraft textures would take some 2 secs to show up (due to the heavy workload during the video capture) so instead of having you guys staring at a white airplane I decided to skip exterior shots  :-[

And yes I'm quite comfortable with my system  :D

What did you use to create the video?  I am in the process of creating some right now using a digital camera but after all the conversions I lose a lot of quality.

I'm using FRAPS and a program called Virtual Dub to compress the movie :)

That place in Spain seems to be a pretty popular popular approach ...I think it is called Finchal
 .

...or something like that...

Funchal.

I vote for TNCM...it would be great to see the island scenery and water effects on your computer.

Well TNCM is beautiful and all, but hardly as challenging as Funchal (which I'm considering to shoot)

:)

Yup, i've gotta agree with Yoda, TNCM would look great on ur PC Nexus, even on my Medium Low 850mhz 512mb Ram GeForceMX400 computer, it looks incredible, couldn't even begin to imagine what it would look like on yours ;D

Nexus what are your specs your system just flows with flight simulator so perfectly it has to be clocked.....

Athlon 64 (3200+, but it's overclocked)
Radeon 9800XT graphics (overclocked aswell)
TwinMos DDR400 (1gb of memory)
S-ATA harddrive from Maxtor.

The sim runs pretty well, but as you notice the ground texture stutters but not the aircraft. Movements about the y and x axis is smooth. haven't found a solution yet  :-[
