Read all about it! ;D

New computer...reinstalled FSX and a few addons... and did a few practice nav flights over the default but still awesome Friday Harbour area to try and get back into things after 2 years away...sadly with no Orbx product to beautify it but it's still a flier's paradise - it's got almost everything. Water. Mountains. Cities and countryside. A multitude of airports of every size. Lots of VORs and stuff...I love flying round there. Here are a few shots from the last 10 days.

I guess I'll be posting screenshots irregularly in SimV again for a while... though the days of downloading a different scenery and aircraft every evening and striving to take some great screenshots are long gone. I see a lot of new names, a few old ones... nice to see you all anyway

I've read so much bad things about Rob's lessons that in the end, I've never tried them  ;D

Some of those screens are really impressive I have to say. I especially enjoy the second one, because of the excellent color palette in it. Same applies to the second-to-last, which has not only beautifull colors, but also a fantastic background. That distant runway in the dark fog, coupled with the dark terrain shapes around, is really producing and excellent atmospheric effect, that adds a lot to the overall magic. Great job !

Like Daube said above about the shots... :)

Number two is just awesome and I like to fly an amphibian or float aircraft in that same area...well done... ;)

Thanks guys! I found the written intros to Rob's lessons useful and mostly just set the plane up according to the task but then flew the lessons 'unaided' by Rob's TLC  ;D

I've finally got a decent comp that can take good screenshots but now the problem is the monitor... it's max resolution is 1280 and with many planes it gives me the jaggies something awful. There's always something...
