Goodly evening all... :)

Old girl is playing Bridge with three other old nattering nannies so I got some time to play with FSX.

Only into a hour of a programmed simulated flight and took a few shots.

I have remembered my dads words many times.

Use the KISS principle son:

KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID = KISS

So this simulated flight started off at dusk and flying it's way into the night.

Cessna 172: An excellent (slightly nose-heavy) Trainer....

Hi Paul...thanks for the comments... :)
We never owned a Cessna 152 but had several C150s.

The C172 gives you good luggage/baggage room for two people, a little more elbow room up front and I would say it would be like comparing a two seat car to a four seat sedan.... ;)

Very nice shots Doug, I like the atmosphere in them. Made me want to fly the 172 once more  8-)
Too bad I'm away from my gaming computer for the next two weeks  :'(

By the way, the guy who made the "damage mod" for that Cessna has posted a new video showing AccuFeel-like freeware features (shaking upon stall, more violent turbulences effect...). This and the previous version of the damage mod (freeware accusim) makes the default C-172 much more interesting and immersive :)

All are veddy nice, except for #3.....

......it's exceptionally nice.  I love the moody lookin' shots that I can head-movie a story about.

#3 is like looking at an exhibit at an art gallery.  The longer I look at it the more its "story" starts coming to light.

......my wife thinx Ima bit daft too...especially when I stare (study!) at a picture for a while.....
