You know I laugh when i see that topics with 1 mediocre picture on them get 5-10 replies yet I go through all this work to post 19 and i havent gotten a single comment?

Nice pics!
Your framerate is pretty bad indeed.
2 FPS that's terrible

[Simpit]

No offence, but putting 19 shots up doesn't make your post more conducive to getting comments...

When I looked at your shots, I started out by looking at the first 4 or 5 closely, but my eyes soon glazed over and I scrolled throught the rest till I got to the bottom few. I think a better strategy would be to pick out the best 5 or 6 and let peoples attention focus on them more.

Gotcha Simpit, I'll try that next time

nice shots but, that one where you were decending with a nice view of San Fransisco. Werent you comeing from the north? Then you landed coming from the south. I could understand that if you were coming from Seattle or something, but LAX? Thats south, why would you be north and then land from the south?

[Minaden666]

what plane is that and where can i get it? I really like the wing view.

[jsalvador]

747lvr: I am actually landing from the north due to the 260 degree wind direction (I landed at runway 28R), but i did come from LAX.

Minaden: The plane is an American Airlines 727-200adv. The File name is "cf722aa.zip"

The wing views are a seperate download and the file name for them is "727wngv3.zip"

Ram may help, certainly wont do any harm.
Here's an article I wrote some time ago, describing how ram works in simple terms.
You might find it useful.
