Hi all,

I've been flying this mission this afternoon. I allowed modification in order to use the Merlin instead of the Maule, and to fly in the evening instead of normal day. I forgot how good the default scenery looks there, I had some stunning landscapes so I thought about sharing











The mission is quite difficult when done in the Maule, because of the high altitude. Wit the Merlin, it was really easy in fact. Enjoy  8-)

Great shots - and as said: I'm gonna get this bird real soon!  ;D

I love that last shot. The lighting is fantastic.

Nice shots, but try hiding the mission compass when taking screenshots

Nice shots, Denali is one of my favorite places to fly.

Where can you get the Merlin?

It's the one that comes with the FSX-Addon 'Accelleration' which has been released by Microsoft.

Oh so it's the EH-101. Is the Merlin just a name bestowed on it by the RAF?

Lovely skies and scenery.

"The name Merlin is used for AW101s in British, Danish and Portuguese military service." wiki

Thank you all for the kind comments.
Yes, I know that I should have removed the compas, but I did think about that only for the last one, since I wanted it to be a real screenshot.

The first ones, from the VC, were just meant to show exactely what you can get during this mission, so I let the compas to give an indication of where I was exactely

And still, the JPEG compression really took a good part of the colors away :/ During the game, the colors of the sky and the atmoshpere around the sun were really stunning  8-)

How exactly do you allow mod. to fly other aircraft in missions?
Excellent pics by the way.

Well that's pretty simple: when you are displaying the list of missions on the Mission start screen, you have a little checkbox just below the list, it's named "allow modifications" or something like that.

If you tick this checkbox, and then launch your mission, you will notice that the menu bar will now allow you to change aircraft, meteo, time of days etc... just like in freeflight.
