I think it has been uploaded to Simviation a long time ago but I'm not sure anymore.

In any case, you can download it from the author's webpage:
http://www.flightsimonline.com/

Basically, I recommend you to download ALL the planes from that guy, all are must-have, classic freewares !

Hard to tell that the first 3 pics aren't real photos. All lovely. Great work!

Thank you all for the kind comments :)

Alrot, this is a 8800, but three things are greatly improving the visual quality of those shots:
- the high resolution water texture (with water set to High 2x), which enhance the waves and reflections
- FSWC which enhance the reflections colors
- the FS9 bloom, which enhance the general lighting and atmospheric effect (you can notice on the last shot, the sky light is glowing on the montains edges).

The addition of those three elements can completely transform the visual realism of the sim, especially the bloom. It's got to the point where each time I switch it OFF, I say something like "Ewww..." and I switch it on again

All of them are fantastic,esp. the last one :o
Btw:
- the FS9 bloom, which enhance the general lighting and atmospheric effect (you can notice on the last shot, the sky light is glowing on the montains edges).

How can i install fs9 bloom into fsx? :-?
