Look at the first shot for an explanation of the title

After the recent occurences and debates.

I wasn't even sure that I would get responses on my posts.

But being the type of person that I am....................

Here I am again.

The scenery is the newest Megascenery : MidAtlantic In this case Washington to Baltimore in early winter

The plane is from Aerosim and it's an L-1011 a design that I really like.

The atmosphere from Fs Atmosphere.

That's it

One of my most favourite aircrafts :)
It had the technology, but not the range. Its autoland system still stands tall, judging by todays "High-tech" standards!  :)

Fantastic screens, shame that there's no decent L-1011 a la PMDG. But that's maybe good...because I wouldn't do anything else but flying that TriStar  ;D

Thanks for the replies.

The contrails start out as the "extended contrails" which is an option in Flight Environment but like everything else they are affected by the Fs Atmosphere program to look the way you see them here.

The Fs Atmosphere program has to be one of the best small add-ons I have seen in a long while for Fs9.

The effect that this has on Fs9 is nothing short of amazing

Also the Aerosim plane is very well done and really fun to fly!!!

I LOVE the great mix of light snow and dark ground you've got there... how did you get that effect?

Lovely sky there too, and the Tristar is one of my favourites.....

Krigl,

That is the new Megascenery which is the best detail I've seen from them yet.

But I think the real influence here is Fs Atmosphere which enhances all of Fs in some very interesting ways.

reflection wise it is really unique.

I am in contact with the author who is a client of mine and am trying out different saturation levels.

The one problem that I have with the program is that it is automatic install only so that I am still unsure of exactly which files it installs.

Thus it can only be switched on and off by uninstalling which I find a little inconvenient.

Thanks Ramsa...

...yes, I agree about FSAtmos, I wish it had an on-off switch....I like it's effects most of the time but I don't like what it does at dawn and dusk too much..

I bought Flight Environment because of the dramatic (though unrealistic) saturated red sunsets and dark water, and FSA seems to completely change them to something far less 'exciting'....

Cheers
