Two simulators, 1078 screenshots of resistance...

Hi all,

I fly with the FS serie since FS5. I went through FS5, CFS, FS98, CFS2, and then I jumped directly into FS2004 and started taking screenshots to share with the rest of the FS community.

I was a 100% freeware-flyer, never had any payware of any sort. I took quite a lot of screenshots with FS9, all numbered to avoid filemane duplicates. Then came FSX, with many more screenshots.

This lasted for 1078 screenshots. And suddently, yesterday it happened... my first payware plane got installed in my FSX !!

Congrats Daube, and WOW!!  :o :o

I love the paint scheme on that F-18.   [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I hope this doesn't mean your leaving the freeware world behind though.  :-/   ;)   ;D

Looking forward to more shots of this one.  8-)

I'm not living the freeware world of course ;)
I've got too many excellent planes that I can't just leave behind. Same for sceneries.
Since I do not plan to buy REX or any environmental addons that would influence the whole planet, I still can shoot a 100% freeware screenshot easilly.
The only "scenery" addons I plan to buy are FTX PNW and SwitzerlandX, so probably I'll have to stop posting glider screenshots in the freeware section, since I manly glide in Switzerland...

Hi Daube,

On the nose wheel steering problem.
On my installation using the default f-18 on the carrier tuturial, the nose wheel steering is OFF if the launch bar is down.

Try this with your payware.

regards

Steve.

That's not it.
Of course I wasn't taxiing with the launch bar extended ;) I was taking off from a normal airport, so my launch bar was retracted and I verified that before leaving the parking.
To enable the NWS, I had to press SHIFT+N, there was no switch in the virtual cockpit.

After pressing this key combo, the NWS became active and the yellow warning on the left MDF dissappeared. However, I found my maximum turning angle to be quite limited, I wonder if this is normal. Normally, a SuperHornet is able to perform a 90

Hehe, unfortunately I have almost no shots of my hobby.
Some videos yes.... but I don't look nice in them, so I won't post them :P
