Good afternoon all... :)
Thought I would do a short hop from Injinoo to Coconut Island, Queensland, Australia in a Beech 18 Amphibian.
Flying over several islands:

Injinoo Runway 31 and the front end of a Beech 18



Port Side



Lined up on Runway 31...Balls to the walls boys

Something about that Beech just screams "Millenium Falcon"... lol I love Flying in Tasmania, especially with the Orbx free demo.

That's a popular bird on this forum.  Shows her years a little but with grace and dignity and probably has lots of good hours left in her.

[color=#000000]Nice shots Doug. And you know I love the aircraft.

Goodly morning all...

Thanks for the comments folks and I am still looking for that perfect sky texture at sunrise or sunset.

It just seems to be beyond my grasp.

I am trying to remember what Daube mentioned to me about keeping the focus of the picture on either the aircraft or scenery I think, but not both.  Picture #3 for example.  I had an idea in my head what I wanted to show but the picture did not do that for me.
I am finding that very difficult to do, perhaps trying to get to much information in a picture.
I wanted to show the aircraft departing down the runway with an idea of what the pilots would be looking at.

I also found it hard to believe there were no seaplane bases in Australia...hmmm....our youngest son has flown flying boats and seaplanes in Australia...will have to bend his ear a little.

I am still looking for that perfect sky texture at sunrise or sunset.

Think back on some of your favorites from real flying.

Thanks for the tips on the clouds fine sir...should have thought of that myself...

Anymore I pinch myself before I get out of bed to see if I am still alive and should shower, shave and shampoo...

Is "REX" freeware or payware and what does it actually do?

When you speak of "Photo filters" where would I adjust those.
I use Light Bloom and I forget what the other one either above or below that is but I try those.

I am wondering about my Video Card, it is a good one, I think it was designed for FSX.

REX is payware.

Thanks Dave for the reply and information.

Got your PM.

Left you a PM about not getting that link to work.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
