At Flightsim.cwm they have a fix for the St. Maarten scenery so you have to download it then read the readme file and they will tell you what to do. After that start flightsim and enjoy yourself. it is simple just type st maarten under the file search library then you will get 2 or 3 different files and look for the fix. Hope this help. Again thanks for the compliments.

Try to shoot the APP in St Maarten with out a joy stick or yoke. I can not find my software for my joy stick and I had to do that APP witht eh key board, with real WX on. Had a good Croxx wind.
Heres my pics from it

I have tried that before when I went to Maryland last month and I couldn't bring the joystick on the plane because if they take it to the cargo and it will break. It was so tough to do it because when you turn then the plane turns then you will have to press the opposite arrow to make the plane go back. It was really tough to control the plane. I will try that. Hopefully you made it on the runaway :)

I did this on IVAO with some friends why are there planes white with a yellow strip. WHy can I not see the AF1 livery they had?

Ryan

[bwifreak16]

The yellow strip and all those buildings are from the scenery that i downloaded here at Avsim.com. With the fix. Then I got the Air France livery from PAI so it is here as AI traffic.
Just go to file library at Avsim.com then type down sxm2002.. Then the file will appear. Then go back and type down sxm2002 then the afcad will appear (the afcad is for the scenery only). Download the AFCAD. (Tanveer) you will need to download this afcad to fix the messed up runaways. Then enjoy yourself.

Nice pics there Nick! I was just in St. Maarten on a 7 day cruise in the Caribbean. I regret everything not going to that spot by the fence. My whole day spent in St. Maarten was on a sailboat sailing the rough seas that day to a private Island for some scooba diving. It was quite fun, but once the 70 year old nudests came to the beach, my day was ruined. THe island is a beautiful place. Personally i like St. Thomas more. Great pics there Nick.

Thanks for your compliments for my screenshots. Kinda of gross to see a 70 years old nudests walking by. (No offense to anybody) I bet you had a lot of fun. Were you able to catch any planes flying over? I bet they are really loud. When I was flying from San Juan to St maarten during that flight I flew over St. Thomas and it looked good. Again thanks for your compliments.

I never saw the planes on final approach, but i did see quite a lot of planes flying over the island which were going to land shortly. St. Thomas has one of the worlds most beautiful beaches there. I swam in that beach and it was an experience of a lifetime. I have some pictures if you're interested in seeing the beach.

[bwifreak16]

yeah I am intrested in seeing what the beaches at St. Thomas looks like comparing to St. Maarten and Hawaii. I would be great if you are able to do that.
