Maggie and Me

[Flying Trucker]

Good afternoon all...

Got in a hours simulated flight on Microsoft FSX. Had to beach as Maggie and I ran out of daylight and the storm caught up to us...lucky I had a cooler full of wobbly pop and some onion and cheese sandwiches...

FSX and Windows 7
Flight Simulator Water Configurator set to Steve's Favorite's
Aerosoft DHC-2 Beaver on Floats
ORBX Pacific Northwest and Pacific Fjords
Flight 1 Ground Environment X Canada/USA and Ultimate Terrain Canada
REX2 Plus...not turned on
Location is a small lake near the interior of Alaska, United States...
Season is early Autumn/Fall and Time is Dusk

Looking for a safe haven...


Committed...


Nice landing Maggie...nice landing...


Beached...


Maggie and me waiting for the storm...


Some lightning and rain...hmm...may need an anchor


With night and the storm upon us Maggie, I shall roll out the sleeping bag, crack the cooler with wobbly pop, light the pipe and ready the red onion and cheese sandwiches...


Comments and advice most welcome...

Nice pics. I imagine that being REX deactivated the blue color is FSX native. I'm right?.

Hi papituwall ...

That might be true but one thing I did notice which never happened before is with REX Essential Plus Overdrive not on I still heard Thunder.

Perhaps I just have not noticed that before.

Thanks for the comment...

Well Doug, in my personal opinion these pics are a little too blueish.
That being said, i dont know how the world looks at that place and that particular time!
But as always, nice shots

For sure nice shots, thanks for showing them.

The onion and cheese sandwiches are really good with about 1/2" thick slice of some good fresh braunsweiger in there as well
Just made myself hungry now.

Thanks FoMoCo63...

I love a thick sliced red onion covered in salt, thick sliced old cheese and fresh bread.

I usually take my sliced meat, different types and roll the meat to be picked up and eaten by hand separate from my sandwich.

It is important that the bread is fresh and an ample supply of salt is used on the red onion....

Thanks Bass...

Not sure why the shots look so blue but you are right...

Could be:
-time of day...Dusk
-storm
-season Fall/Autumn
-Flight Simulator Water Configurator settings
-aircraft "Maggie" has a lot of blue in the livery

I am disappointed with the Rain Effects, would like to se the Rain Drops hitting the water and an all round better visual effect for the Rain.

Perhaps Rain shows better on a newer computers and newer video card?
