She's working on her RW commercial and instrument ratings in Oregon. They've done two clips of VFR flights she took last summer. They list all her stops, headings, VOR, etc. RW. This is my sim reincarnation of one of those two flights. Michael

Great shots Rick! I'm pretty fond of Boeing products. In fact I have a ton of RW hours in a Boeing CH-46. ;) Michael

So say we all!! Having said that, I do enjoy building a new computer from time to time. That way I know exactly what I have and if any piece doesn't suit me I just return it and install another I like better. In fact I'm very interested in seeing the recommended specs for the new Microsoft sim, if it ever comes out. I've almost always used Intel CPUS and I've heard they're designing the new sim around the AMD chip. So I'll have to see how it flies with my current i-9K based build. Michael

Hey Rick, Great shots!! The Lear is one of my favorite planes as well. Having said that, if you want a slightly smaller but hugely fast bizjet go to the download files on this site and get the freeware Honda Jet. It's hugely satisfying and has lots of interior details etc. In fact I've flown several payware aircraft I don't like nearly as well as that freeware plane. ;) Michael

Yesterday I flew the route in Oregon shown on the home page under ONE FLIGHT CHICK #2. I also shot a bunch of T&GS at other airports where she didn't land. As usual my software is ORBX both the regional and the Portland City. Michael

+1 My favorite time to fly, RW or sim is at night. I love the extra fine detail you can see without all the blinding glare!! However, whether RW or sim, it's always hard to portray what you see with a picture or screenshot so others can grasp what you're enjoying!! Michael

I agree, both are great planes!! Having said that, you might want to find the freeware HondaJet in in this site's download section. It's my favorite "freeware" plane so far! Michael

+1 on the approach shot especially!! ;) Michael

YES!!!! Michael

Owning a ton of ORBX scenery, a hand built computer designed for FSX and P3D v4.5 as well, I'll probably hold onto my card for a while too. ;) Another good reason for having patience is what I call the Corvair or Vega factor. TBTG I didn't join a lot of Chevy fans and jump on either of those autos when they first came out!!:eek::eek: Hind sight is 20/20. Foresight is much more accurate with a little dab of patience!!;) Rupert

Great shots John!! I love the scenery. Where did you get the bird? Michael

Great shot of an ugly old bird! I love it!! ;) Michael

Great job David!! As many times as I've flown across the country either in the Corps or as a passenger, I'm still amazed at the contrasts! Your post shows them very well! Michael

Showoff!! :mad: Michael

I agree, it reminds me of a Subaru SUV. ;) Same color and same aerodynamics!! :D:D Michael

"The wife and I have been patiently waiting for Palm trees to start growing here in Michigan." I've seen naturally occurring palm trees thrive in Scotland. So you might see it happen. ;) Michael

Great shots Jan!! Plus a wonderful display of freeware!! :o:o Says the guy who regularly melts his credit card buying ORBX scenery. Michael

+1!!!!! That makes a Pinewood Derby racer seem archaic!! Great shots Jan!!! Michael

David, I enjoyed your Rockford flight as well! I recreated it yesterday and it was around 60F RW. With global warming, scenes as you portrayed them are becoming a thing of the past, even in Illinois. Meanwhile Rick and his fellow Floridians should probably start constructing their arks! :p Friends of mine moved to Florida from Ky. early last year. As most transplants do, they began calling, texting, etc. about how much they loved the warmth. Later, in summer, I texted them and asked how they liked being on hurricane evacuation alert? There's good and bad about everywhere we choose to live. ;) And I've more than once been on either side of weather related kidding! :o Michael

Hey Gary, That fancy canoe is truly over the top!! Great scenery as well!! And like you, I don't even want to know how much ORBX scenery I've bought over the years!! BTW: Jan, that canoe might be considered an essential when you attempt to fly over the water!! ;) Michael

[quote=stinger2k2;2099498(Great, I am thinking of upgrading FS2020 even before it has been released! Will I ever stop spending money on this hobby/obsession? ) Stinger So say we all!! ;)

+1!!!!

Amazing G'erard! Looks like another case of a German cure looking for a problem. :p Michael

Nice STOL shots. ;) Michael

Thanks Aharon!! Great shots of another shiny plane. BTW: I have friends who fly DHL out of CVG. One who along with his wife, another pilot, recently retired. He spent years flying 747s about once a month into Iraq during the wars there. Michael P.S. It's winter, where's your famous snow!!;):rolleyes: Michael
