Hiya everyone :)

[b6ifc81]

Alrighty, so it's been a while since I've posted on here...and for somewhat good reason. About a month ago, my trusty computer gave up the ghost (at least, that's what the Geek Squad told me haha). Lots of hair-pulling and teeth-grinding later, I saddled up with a brand new setup, and I've gotta say, I'm pretty impressed so far! Of course, that necessitated a clean re-install of FS9, and silly me since I didn't have a whole lot of stuff backed up, it's been TORTURE trying to play catch-up with all my sceneries (both freeware and payware), aircraft, and of course, AI traffic.

It's going to be a loooong road ahead, but I thought I'd share a few from my first "real" flight since the re-install. Best thing is, my framerates have improved DRAMATICALLY, along with sliders being set to relatively high (something I couldn't have dreamed of with the old rig).

Ok, enough with the backstory, please enjoy!

Leaving PHL:


AAL to DFW (I'm assuming lol):


SWA to Tampa:


...and me to ORD!


Turning finals to rwy10:


As you can see, progress on restoring my AI is steady, albeit slooooow:


Whooah, big fella


Passing a gaggle of regionals...


And finally at the gate - ontime, no less



Sceneries: FSDT KORD, SunSkyJet KPHL, updated sky and cloud textures by Pablo Diaz, default everywhere else
Aircraft: Project Airbus A320 v2.1 (paint by Nicholas Chung Wing Chong)

Cheers,
George

For a moment I thought I was looking at a real picture Fantastic shots! You have a lot of AI!

Thanks guys! @ Adam, so far I've managed to cover most of the North American majors (still LOTS to do in terms of freight carriers). Once I'm done with that, then I'll tackle Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America...oyyyy!
