Thread: A few "money shots" from tonight's test flight (B757)

    Default A few "money shots" from tonight's test flight (B757)

    I was actually test-flying a new download, the POSKY B757 in the somewhat-former America West livery, Arizona Cardinals, from Seattle to Las Vegas. The sun was low in the sky as I was descending into Sin City and the plane just looked fantastic, so I started snapping pics...

    FS9, all "stock", and no photo editing.

    Nice shots Wingding. I especially like the 1st shot.

    Thanks, guys! And you're right, Northstar... LOTS of life left! (by the way, the "test flight" was a success.... I made a few very minor adjustments - as I always do - to the aircraft.cfg file for personal taste, but she doesn't rocket down the taxiway like a lot of my other 757's do, and the landing/ILS was smooth as silk. I don't remember the exact filename, but I got it straight from the POSKY website, and it's the only Arizona Cardinals livery in the B757-200 section. Thumbs up!)

    I will never lose faith in FS9. Or should I say, we will never lose faith in FS9. FS9 will never die among flight simmers. It may disappear from the market but not among us...

    Stunning shots Wingding. Nice colors. Looks like you had a pretty smooth landing.
    The pilot is bound only by his mind and his machine. We must expand the mind before we expand the machine, and by expanding the mind, we may expand the machine. Our mind is being expanded by the sim. It is not a game.
