Busy morning in Paris

Postby simonmd » Mon Mar 27, 2006 6:53 pm

Here's the start of one of my latests VA flights, a short hop from Charles De Gaulle to Heathrow.

A321-200 ready to go at the gate,

Waiting in a BIG que!

Finaly away,

Very pleased with this shot, shows what default clouds can do!

On course now, climbing above the weather,

Over the Channel,

On final for Heathrow, a usefull blanket of cloud covers it so you can't see the Payware scenery! ;)

No touchdown shots i'm afraid as I have the UK2000 Payware scenery so I can't post them here. Ran out of file size anyway, hope you liked.

Is that the FTG traffic pack Simon? Jeez that was crowded.

Nice shots ;)

Yes it's the FTG AI that us 'Tigers' are lucky to use.

BAW, why are you asking about Heathrow? You never saw it once in this thread, thought it was clear I was going TO it.

Simon does the UK2000 scenery lower the fps down a lot?

The 'standard pack' UK2000 replaces all the default UK airports with better ones and although they are nowhere near as detailed as specilaist airport addons they are good enough to be recognisable if you know the particular airport. The framerate change is negligable. Heathrow Pro is very detailed though, as you'll see if you click the link above, and does slow things down. However, with 100% AI and some clouds showing, I still get 10+fps which is still useable.
