Won't even ask what you had to do to get over those trees in number three.  You'd think someone who designed the sim would have had a clue about airport design.  Nice shots.

Is that Trislander any good?
I've been searching for one ever since I saw this one UFO Hunters episode with it. It is certainly a unique aircraft! :)

Goodly morning all... :)

Thanks Larry... :)

RaptorF22...Having never flown a real Trislander Aircraft the aircraft for the flight simulator seems about average like most freeware models.
I am at odds why the Navigational Lights do not come on with the switch, they work when all the lights are on but perhaps that is my computer or FSX.
The aircraft if you Google "Wiki" one will see a number of United States operators but there is no American Livery in the download.
All in all a fine fun short takeoff and landing model for the simulator.... :)

Thanks for the comments Applepie...everytime I see your signature I get hungry... ;D

Hi Dave..."olderndirt"...I suppose it would take years to accurately portray or duplicate each and every airport for the simulator and it seems to me FSX came out very quickly after FS2004.
Powered approach was the answer.... ;D

My opinion now after reviewing the shots several times is I did not do good shots of the aircraft and showed much more scenery than was necessary.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
