FSX Goose on the Loose!

The last is amazing!  I love the angle in the second, but the water looks like a coral reef :-?.  Maybe too much detail?

I really like the composition and colours in the first two. The water is a little strange in the second, it will be interesting to see what pay and freeware designers come up with to iron out the peculiarities and play to the strengths of FSX water.

Just out of curiousity, how do you like the Goose overall?  It's always been one of my favorite aircraft, and I was just wondering if FSX does it justice?  Flight model, the model itself, the sounds, the cockpit, etc . . .

Very nice shot's Dave! Do you average well with frames with that rig?

First time I have ever flown it. yes. I did like it, big and sluggish!  ;) Gotta love the chugga chugga of those engines when reducing to low power! Thanks!

I have slowly been trying to get some time in FSX. My FS9 is loaded with goodies so it is hard for me to really "adjust" to FSX. Yes,, my rig runs FSX well but of course, have the same limitations as others in regards to getting the full potential without having vista or DX10 installed yet, let alone a major hardware upgrade.
But to answer your questions, yes, I can fly fluidly in FSX but remember, my this machine in solely dedicated to flight simming so it is totally tweaked for performance.
