Cessna 172







Douglas DC3 on final with an aircraft on runway







Time for an overshoot...


The 3D Lights seem to work.
I am wondering about reducing the picture size so the shot shows without having to scroll up and down...not sure what size would be good.

Comments and Advice most welcome on the shots.

[color=#000000]Very nice Doug, glad you got it working.

Number three - right in the groove.

Nice work Doug! Glad you got it working 

Some nice shots there as well!

Also glad to see everything turned out great.

Number three - right in the groove.

My thoughts exactly.

Thanks for the comments folks...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

The shots are displaying correctly also on my screen, with Internet Explorer.
Doug, that last shot has something special. I think you could have made it even better by placing the aircraft off-center on the picture, just like we discussed last time.  8-)

Thanks "Daube"... :)

I was hoping you would drop by (no pun intended.. ;D)
Sorry folks private joke...Daube has a great hobby/sport which I wish to try someday... :)

Off center...ok...yes I forgot about that tip you gave me, darn there is so much to remember... :)

Daube to do that I would have to:

"A" Key>scroll to the right slowly>move the focus back from the aircraft....does that sound right?

I tried to do something with a tower shot but the camera moved so slowly and I am not quite familiar yet with that new program I installed "FS Recorder" I think that is what it is called.
Have been using the "A" Key a lot to try and get different angles but yes I always seem to have the aircraft center stage of the picture and I would like to try and get it off-center like you suggested.

When I view my pictures and there are sentences above each picture I have to scroll up and down to read and see the whole picture.
Is there a setting for this or do I need to lower the setting a little before re-sizing?
The picture shows well on some folks screens but others say they have to scroll up or down to see and read the whole thing.

As always thanks for the comments.

I have installed FS Recorder too but I have not yet experimented those new views that Recorder creates.
I should check if the DC-3 has the additionnal views like the Baron, I can't remember right now and I can't check since I'm 900 kms away from my gaming computer 

The sequence would be to switch the views with S key until the "tail view" (which is, if I remember correctly, just before the virtual cockpit view), and then circle through the view modes with A key to choose the most usefull angle (Tail view would have been quite ok in your case). Then finally, adjust the view position to put the camera a little bit away from the plane, and change the view direction to place the aircraft off center.

Ok...thanks Daube...that is what I forgot...the tail view and then move the camera around. 

If you are on another holiday...have a great time...
