Funny that Ian i wasent even moving so i just figured they were hot as hell as i was sliding abit with the brakes hard on ,weird to have water coming off non moving tires i guess the effects didnt know when to stop effecting with all that wind and rain around "i guess i like the hot tire idea and will roll with that for now /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif />

Oh yer collaboration - love those screenshots Charl. Thanks for posting. All the shots on this thread are excellent /clapping.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :clap: border= 0 alt= clapping.gif />

Thanks guys. I still miss my FSNav when flying FSX so I've been using FS9 last few months. I really should get back on X sometime.. I don't have the Wilco 737 sorry dude, so no idea about repaints for it..

The specification of the computer is not that fantastic, 2.2Ghz dual core, Nvidvia 8600GT graphics card, 4GB RAM. The main thing is that I have been trying out lots of tweaks and also LOTS of...

Very nice Charl /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif /> This is one I've decided not to get, but I can play with it at work, so no loss there. I still enjoy seeing such atmospheric shots as these though!

Well, I've updated my NZ scenery somewhat, and gotten a SRTM set for the islands. What do y'all think? /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> Auckland: Wellington and surrounding area (this is a photoreal set, that IMHO although it looks good from up high where I normally fly, looks like cr@p down low): Christchurch: Southern Alps:

wow nice shots - especially like the last one

Must have been the headwind....... /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif /> I bought the overland for the 777 (I had it, but when I re formated lost it! /sad.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :( border= 0 alt= sad.gif /> ) thought Id give the A380 ago. Seems it was worth it now!

Truly amazing hobby , ... months went past ? people started asking , were the heck is 'Charl' ... eventully emergency units and police break in the door at your residents only to find you on the pc - flightsim no dout ... Dr Hibbet (hahahahah) after removing the cobwebs , a checkout , Doc Gasped .. oh my god he died of stress landing at Kai Tak /ohmy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :o border= 0 alt= ohmy.gif />

I was waiting for the Ultimate Flight Environment to come out, but got tired of waiting for it, so purchased FEX instead. Sorry to say that I have no experience of Active Sky but for now, FEX will suit me fine. Regarding the quality of the photoreal scenery and clouds, it is not my work!!! I can only thank RealNZ and FEX for it, all I do is install them and use them!!! I will report back when I have got to grips with the full possiblities of FEX, with a few more screenshots. smooth landings.

FANTASTIC Tom. Well done!

Yep it was on 3 'News' during their report on Air Nelson's strikes. They just mentioned that Air NSN was covering the strikes by using federation pilots, other Air NZ aircraft eg a 737 AKL-PMR and by using charter airlines such as VIncent Aviation where possible. My mum asked me who Vincent was and I had to mention that I knew a guy... /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif /> One News probably did something similar as well.

Great shots, Florian! Nice to read, and thanks for sharing. Good idea /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif />

QUOTE 05L in use???? I bloody hope not! ... /ohmy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :o border= 0 alt= ohmy.gif /> not more paperwork You know I meant 05R /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif />

I never hand fly the 737, I use the wilco one so I just hand fly the take off and climb to 3000-4000 ft then put the AP on untill about 3000-4000 ft and hand fly the approach and landing, even in thick fog I set up the ILS but never use app mode to pull me in, theres something realy rewarding about hand flying the ILS and landing on target in fog right to minimums.

Love it!

Second to last screen looks like it's out of a movie!!

Nice shots guys. Looks like some fun multiplayer action.

(No offence Naki, great pics as always! /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />) None taken /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> I was just showing off what can be achieved with good AI and scenery add ons - not forgetting the Zinertech water features and the Flight 1 172
