The 'King of the Skies' [or is it clouds?] does it again... Your clouds never seize to amaze me!

I've never seen YMPQ looks so green, its a shame the surronding scenery doesn't match with the airport especially #3. :(

Still nice shots as always Bob. 8-)

Thanks Mitch

Thats my biggest gripe most all the airports in both FSX and FS2004. They all look like they were pasted. They could have at least made and attempt to blend them in with the surrounding terrain. :( I just try to tell myself that they just keep the airport grass well watered.

Nice to see you down here Bob, doesn't look too bad with the default scenery does it? You could download their free 'Holgermesh' if you don't already have it to take the visuals up another notch. The VOZX scenery also improved things quite a lot, but I think it isn't available any more....

Making 23000 airfields blend with the surrounding terrain would have been quite a task though, don't you think??  ;)
Shame they don't though....

The shots aren't that bad, but yes those airports were build for FTX areas. Once you have the appropriate FTX area they blend in extremely well.

Still lovely shots, lovely skies and a great bird.

Bob, I'd definitely get Gold, and Green has a lot of great terrain too and a lot of places to visit. The only one I could live without is Red, as it's very sparse in terms of airfields.... but the colours are so dramatic and having Australia incomplete just wouldn't do, and I wanted to enter their megascreenshot comp too, so I bought Red as well :D OzX have 15 or more new strips for Red on the way in the next update so that should improve things a bit there. The way I see it is that for the area covered and the amazing detail, the price is very cheap. And the money they get for Oz will help them to get the Pacific North West and Alaska out sooner.... ;)

Hi Roger

Couldn't pass up this swinging deal. They also discounted the price $20.00 because I already had the Blue.
