Thanks ;D

This is the defult senery in FS2002.  The only thing that is new is a world texture fix for the terminals, runways, and taxiways to make them a bit more relistic.  I tryed to upgrade to FS2004 but it would not work at all.  So I'm still stuck in the FS2002 world.  But with some of the small upgrades I find it makes it a bit better.  Now I just need a better graphics card to support it all ::) ::)

Thanks ;D   Though this is not a Meljet.  Its an FS Painters model.  I think I found it over at Flightsim.com, or maby it was Avsim.com.  Cant remember.  There are many 777 repaints and also many other FS Painters aircraft.  They are very framerate friendly, and yet have good flight dynamics, as well as shine.  I'm afraid if this was a Meljet my poor framerates would have dropped to 2 or 3 compaired to the 24 fps I get with these.

Nice shots and great landing! I love those long haul international flights, especially in real life. When you get off the plane and out into the city, everything is so different  8)

well....... change of plans again >:(   i guess im going to sit in paris for awhile.  shortly after takeoff from LFPG there was engine trouble and by the time we made it back to the ground we only had 2 engines, no airspeed indicator, and no navagation equipment.  Made it down safely though.  Now im having more computer problems and nothing wants to work right.  so for now im just going to sit in paris untill things clear up a bit ::)
