Hi everybody!

I found that awesome GAF Nomad on a site that begins with "a" and ends up with "vsim". i took it on a flight from montreal intl,canada to anchorage,alaska. there were some problems during the flight (almost ran out of fuel, extreme crosswinds, VERY difficult approaches and landings), but in the end i landed safely on stevens intl. okay,let's stop talking and let's show some pics. most of them speak for themselves.

the front of the nomad. take a look at that nice map behind the pilot.

just take a look at the smoke trail and you can see the extreme crosswind. also take a look at those impressive exhaust effects!
Image
gps-view of the extreme winds. i REALLY had to fly that way.

the virtual cockpit

shutdown during sunset.

who knows ,which mountain that is,gets a beer. ;)

flying over some mountains...

touchdown!

and finally unloading the "cangaroo" after the arrival in alaska...

but the BEST thing about that model is,that it doesn't eat any extra fps,although it is very detailed!

nice shots! what a crosswind...

Adi, for locking the frame rates, go to settings-display-frame rates (slider at the top i think).
