That water is just amazing. Do you have any pictures of the vcs? I have found the vcs in fsx to be rather well done but id like to see how it is ment to look (not the mess it looks on my system) :P

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the feedback.
FSX has loads of potential to be an amazing sim. I really hope something is done about the autogen though.

That shot 3rd from the bottom is Hawaii.

Here's a few VC one's Jimmy.

I've got to say the more time I spend in the VC's the more I like them, the Goose is my current Aircraft of choice, I rarely use the 2D panesl at all now.

Yeah nor do I jon, I can now fly far more effectively in the VC. Though I do use the 2D panel for operating switches etc, as these are often blocked by the yoke.

Me to, or I can't find them at all. Found this with the Goose trying to switch between GPS and Nav, cant find that switch for love nor money, certainly not anywhere near where it appears on the 2D panel... :blink:

thanks for posting the VCs, yes they certianly are beautiful :P the last one is best.

The times I have persevered and flown in fsx I use the VC, I get the feeling ms don't want us using the 2d oanel, just load up and aircraft like the baron and look at the 2d panel, the panel almost takes up the entire screen! Also performance seems smoother from the vc than 2d panel even though fps stay excactly the same......

Yeah I reckon the VC is the place to be in FSX alright, stands to reason if greater realism is the aim.
Me, I just pan around and dig the reflections in the windows... :P

I hadn't noticed that in those screenshots until reading your post Charl, now re looking at cirrus' screenies again I realise that those reflections are very realistic!

The C206 by Carenado (the only craft that I know of) includes this feature in FS9 and when I first saw it, it impressed me to the max as I know the feeling of taking photographs through glass windows and seeing the annoying reflection of the car/plane interior once processed- so a big :clap: to M$ on this one.
