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.

Some great looking shots Doug! You've got your water and weather looking nice.

Very nice, Doug!... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

(Alarming colours!)... ...!

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

....AFTER you have mastered the perfect little Cessna 150/152 Trainer.... ...!

Paul... 8-)...!

You sure got some reds out there in the west!

I'll copy what Steve M said

Thanks Steve...much appreciated...

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....

Thanks bass....the flight started off at dusk, so catching a bit of the sunset with the cloud cover...

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.....
