Hmmm. Not very realistic is it. The cliffs looked better in CFS1.

I was just thinking that myself.

I'm not set up to run FSX right now otherwise I'd compare it.

They don't look that much better in FSX. They need to be renamed the gray cliffs of Dover. ;D

Nice. I want to recreate the B-17s coming back from missions over Germany. Is there not a song so named "White Cliffs of Dover?"

Indeed there is. There's also a nice painting of a B-17 being escorted home by Spitfires over the cliffs. I forget the artist right now.

Oddly enough I took this earlier in CFS1. http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/da-cfscliffs.jpg
