Thanks for the very warm welcome!
Yes I did register 3 years ago but never even posted once, then I forgot about SimV untill a few weeks ago

I will be strolling around the other forums from day-to-day so I hope to post a bit more from now on.
Are you kidding??

At least that first shot is absolutely stunning! I'd like to see the full version of that shot. Your water is gorgeous and the reflection in the canopy is really nifty

Belive it or not, that water setting is on 'Medium x2' I still have 'High x1', 'High x2' and 'Max' to go before I get full graphics - but I'm scared my computer may explode if I go that far.
Once again, thanks for all the comments!
