I have a small question...why do you always have to post the best FS screens in the flightsim history lol? I mean seriously man, my girlfriend doesn't even like airplanes but she looked impressed when she saw what I'm looking at (your pics)

:eek: OH my I havent been around lately (addicted and officially full blown FACEBOOK zynga games addict now) and when I look at these shots its amazing how realistic the Flight Simulator has become! We keep telling ourselves how much more realistic can Microsoft make this sim! Awesome shots all around!

Those are some AWESOME shots.. Is the NWA traffic you are using accurate? I never knew Northwest ever had such a large O'Hare operation at any time in history. I wish I could get the FMC use down pat on this bird so I can actually enjoy the hard earned money I spent on these same add-ons. For the life of me I can't get it to do an approach once I program it into the CDU. Oh and BTW, what airport is that second to the last shot? The one with the KLM 747 landing and the Delta & Continental tails visible in the background? I WANT that airport.

Cheers for the comments & praise folks, I'm always looking to see if I can break new ground or improve my work.

Glad most of you enjoyed this series.

Most of the traffic I add is not historically accurate, I tend to experiment with traffic either for enjoying a flight around an airport or if I want to take a series of screen shots and make them eye catching.

The airport of the KLM landing is FSDT's KLAX, an excellent but FPS heavy airport.
