Draining my system for a decent sunset

Well, with my specs leaving a lot to be desired, I decided to turn everything up a notch and try to get some decent shots.....albeit at 6.2 FPS average :-/

Here's what came out of it...

First 2 flying over northern Cornwall, just past Newquay

Image

Next 2...just overflown Lands End/St. Just (EGHC), turning for finals.
The second being one of my fave shots from me :)

Like the name on the roof suggests, safely down at Lands End/ St. Just, with eno, waiting for Ken
Image

I continued on to St. Mary's (EGHE) alone, nothing major happened on the way...washed my wheels, that's about it.....
Retiring for the day...

My flying passion is back.....*goes on the hunt for new add-ons* ;D

Question is : Should I struggle along with these settings for a while? ::)

Cheers,
GMan

Yo eno,

Lands End/St. Just can be found @ avsim, just search for : Robert Erskine.
It's a 2002 scenery but works and looks fine in FS9 8)

As for St. Mary's, http://www.simviation.com/fs2004scenery34.htm ;D
It may also be worth searching for Paul Roberts, as a lot of his stuff is top notch :)

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm gonna try it for a while, see how things go :D

Cheers,
Carl

I have it on a 16 Gig partition and am purposely limiting myself.   :)
