Hey VAC- as explained via PM, I just merged all of your St Maaten shots into one thread, seeing as they were all on the same subject

[victor_alpha_charlie]

What scenery you guys using for SABA?

[Alex]

Looks to me like the new FlyTampa scenery.

yup fly tampa st maarten and st bath....for fsx and fs9 ,but of course the shots i did are in fs9
it covers three islands with detailed airports and great agn etc... and works in with my smugglers run and other scenery addons around that area

Yep the only downside for FSX users is the X version only has TNCM, the FS9 version has TNCM, SABA and TFFJ.

Is that right

is there a good reason for this ,or is just because X cant handle all that scenery with 50km raduis of each other...man i gotta laugh at that ,becauce the other 2 airports saba and ttf are the best part for me and give you more of a challange ,
really does stump me why anyone would fly X apart from the little and not much good bits
but anyway fly tampa scenerys have always been really good and recomended to anyone buying it for the areas they cover

No good reason that I can think of, other than the developer seemingly didn't want to do all three. And I agree, the other two airports are waaay more interesting than St Maarten!

Decisions like that shake my "faith" in fsx (which was considerably undermined by the curate's egg called sp1) Another dilemma -- the pre-sp1 sim is way better, smoother, faster, and I'd dearly like to revert, but all the addons now require sp1.

Just got a few moments today so gave it a few goes, heres the lowest I dared go:


Thanks for the link Brock, that scenery is a real fps killer thow, even with my new system I only get around 8frames on finals... ah well its not like im not used to that from the past ae, nice to relive old memories lol na 8-10fps was fine.





gota be one of the hardest approachs, O the distraction (and there are better than this one on the beech )


Getting low.




Must be just a few feet above that fence.




and managed to stay aloft just to get it down right on the touch down zone, "Piano Keys".

Now of to park a sea plane up on de beech

Yup i really like a challange when it comes to airports extra trees/fences ,chicks on the beach anything you can throw in my way to make it that little bit harder ,
with such a meaning less object like a fence you have so much fun trying to dodge them
nice shots jimmy dare i ask what sim that is ? X or 9
my first thought is x but i know how much that scenery kills frames so could be 9 for all i know
