Ford Island (making my graphics card cry!)

[xFLAMESx]

As the title suggests, I absolutely murdered my graphics taking the first few shots. . . . .
Unfortunately I can't fly with clouds on so all these are ground based. . . . .

Sitting dockside, menacing looking clouds all around. . . . .


Awaiting duties, beautiful IOWA class battleship next to me. . . . .


Still waiting. . . . .Landable aircraft carrier in upper-right. . . . .


Looking dead-ahead, seems the storm passed with no rain. . . . .


Looking back, all seems peaceful on base. . . . .


Weather clears to reveal a beautiful sunrise. . . . .


Later that day. . . . .

Incoming Trader to transport a few airmen to a carrier. . . . .


Thanks for looking, the rest of the cloud free series will be available on my site in a few days

Cheers,

Carl

Hey Soui,

Thanks man, you can get the C1 here :

She's real fun to fly and depending on conditions, can climb quite sharply at around 55-60 KIAS

Cheers,

Carl

is that ford island scenery stock or is is a download? if it is, where can i get it, it looks stunning

Hi daz,
Got it from Avsim just do a search for DBWsim, should be somewhere near the top

Also worth checking out the rest of DBWsim's scenery, 'tis fantastic stuff and not too hard on frame-rates either

Happy flying,

Carl

WOW!  that's a lotta scenery!

[xFLAMESx]

Indeed, but worth every inch IMO
I take you have some of their stuff then?

For those who aren't sure about the quality, shots of the area will be on my site around 02:30 GMT (about 21:30 EST (I think. . . . .))
Will also be putting a modified AFCAD for Ford Island on there for use with the DBW Scenery, with the default AFCAD it seems a little 'off'

Cheers,

Carl

Updated AFCAD for scenery and pics of the area are now on my site (see my sig.)

Cheers,

Carl
