JohnnyJohnJohn Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 John, Thank you so much, I appreciate it. It is very hard to get "bored" with this flight simulator. Thank you David, much appreciated. :) Michael, thank you! Glad you like my screen shots. :) I just want to find the paint kit Bob. I would love one of these planes in Real Life, and being an Ultra Light technically, NO PILOT LICENSE NEEDED! :O Thermaltake Ryzen Gen 9 3900x 12 cores, 4.6 ghz 32 gig of Ram, Liquid Cooled Everything.

mikabu Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Hello, Nice screenshots, and nice flight, but we should not be so appreciative of the rendering of the area by MS. so many mistakes, the new high Atlantic bridge will not let a cargoship through! the second set of locks is afrom a shot more than 5 years old, the bridge of the centenary is for sure nicer than this one, the less than a dozen high rises in Panama city should be closer to a hundred! and so many others. As for everywhere, they gave priority to the eye candy agains accuracy, a shame! Ayway we fly for pleasure and improvements will come -hopefully!- good flights to all.
