FS 2002.... ;)...!

How about enjoying a flight in a lovely civilian Boeing Stearman for a change...
...wind in the hair, flies in the teeth, oil on the goggles...

Dragged the Stearnan out of the hangar at Livermore, (KLVK), to get it re-fuelled... 8)...!

...while I indulge myself with a nice salmon and cucumber sandwich, and a hot cup of tea, courtesy of Mr. McDonald.... ;)...!

Image

Just drool over that fabulous Continental, 7 cylinder, radial motor... 8)...!
(..don't talk to me about "jet engines"..).. >:(...!

Image

..and the pilots limited view from the cockpit...but who cares.. ;D...!

Image

Up, up and away, a-heading for the 'Frisco Bay*.... ;D...!

Image

Cheers all... ;)...!

*I'm a poet, and dont know it... ;D...!

Neat pics Fozzer... Where do you get all that lovely scenery? I just fancy a Big Mac when coming off my flights!

And BTW, Come on Fozzer, time to scrap 2002. FS9 is retailing for good prices on ebay. There is a guy in America who is selling them real cheap.

Thats a very disatisfactory answer!! :o
There's no comparison between FS2002 and 2004! I reckon yr kidding!::) Hmmm I wonder. You can't tell with Fozzers.::)
Anyway Fozzer I've had FUII and FS98 as well as FS2002. And I'd certainly say FS2004 was miles better.

Cheers,
Ben

I, like Foz, still prefer to fly 2002 over 2004......I feel the '04 graphics are a bit "soft" when I compare the way I can show my screenshots from '02.....not that I do so very often, but I have in the past shown what can be achieved by a mediocre system and sub-average vid card...check my specs and look back for some of my posts......I will continue to run my '02 until something better comes along with a LARGE improvement over it.......
