[left]Thanks to all you Simvees for renewing my interest in FSX. I know these shots are not the caliber of some of you folks' shots, but I sure had fun flying and using that good old "V" key. I hope you all have a very good year!!!

[left][size=12][font=Comic Sans MS][color=#0000ff]They are part of the game and not an addon. Be sure your "Custom" and "Annimation" Sliders are maxed...anyway I think that is what effects the effects.
