An FSX quirk in Multiplayer

Post and comment on screen captures from the beautiful game here. Home of the monthly screenshot competition

One of the quirks I have found with FSX is the aircraft it will sometimes select to 'represent' a persons chosen plane when you don't have the same one installed on your system.

With this in mind, you will not be surprised when I say my jaw dropped when I saw this during a flight this evening....

And it just kept getting better and better, time for me to move me thinks, that thing is huge!! :o

The guys on the forum will never believe this....

Shes amazing up close, quite an experience to fly around and certainly....unique given this is Flightsim rather than boatsim...

I wont show you the shots of what she looks like at 1500ft of my right wing.

And guess what aircraft this leviathan off the ocean replaced? A squirrel..yes, a squirrel helicopter....kinda close, don't you think :unsure:

:lol: I once came across this strange sight. I think it must have been an AI flightplan for an aircraft I didn't have, but again FS9's choice for a substitute gave us an ocean liner doing aerobatics!! :lol:

haha id like to see one of them cruiseing along at FL350!

Must have been cool to fly around, you most certainly must have crash damage off, not a chance you coudl get that close with out a "crash", or has that been addressed in fs10?

I never fly with crash's enabled Jimmy, I'm there to have fun and enjoy myself, if you crash in multiplayer its a real nuisance

That particular model, well all the Hama models in fact, are superb.
