Sometimes FSX Is Really Amazing... another screenshot thread

I have wanted to visit Bora Bora for a long time in FSX and got to it the night before last in a classic Short Flying Boat and then returned in the beautiful French Topsail Schooner L'Etoile converted from FS9... it was beyond words..especially in this time of snow and cold that is upon us...

enjoy and add more of the same ilk if you are moved to share among us as I was...

Really amazing Paradise pictures especially on a day like this, a big snow storm is coming in over Sweden today. Is it the default scenery?
 
Super shots CrisGer, thanks!!!! will visit the area soon, maybe a Mission is due around there.

I know the feeling, CrisGer! One of my all-time favourite scenery packages is Aerosoft's Tahiti X, which beautifully captures these islands, and others. When I just recently re-installed FSX on a new computer, this was one of the first sceneries to be put in place.

So at least once per long winter, I take a nice amphibian down there and bask on the beaches and lagoons. All of the islands have well-appointed airfields, of course -- even Marlon Brando's island, if you have a small enough aircraft (that particular runway's awfully short!).

Birds, porpoises, popsies! Gorgeous -- just Gorr-Jiss, I tells ya!
