Staggerwing

I really enjoy flying Alabeo's Beechcraft Staggerwing. Here seen over northern Idaho, stock P3Dv2 scenery, REXE+OD and Opus providing the atmosphere.

"I think you’d have to agree its goodbye FSX and thanks for the memory."​

Yea, verily, most impressive.

Now I remember why I have that 2nd (so far unused) SSD on my rig.
It be waiting for this for almost as long as me.

Nice shots everyone, thanks!

Night and day difference... I love this sim more and more. Its like a screenshot studio for sim planes...

Great photos you guys!

Padolamap, that England scenery looks brilliant...!

I'm still tweaking it, and having problems with performance and annoying black screens. I haven't loaded any payware/freeware anything yet, so everything is still stock until I figure out how to get it running the way it needs to...I think I need to upgrade my video card in order to really take advantage of the new sim, but despite all that, a first screen...

This was in Multiplayer, although there wasn't anyone else flying at the time (does that mean it wasn't really multiplayer then? lol). Anyway, a few early AM shots in the Rockies. These shots don't show it very well, but two things that got my attention. . .One was that while looking past the tail at the ground textures while I was flying, the textures remained sharp, unlike FSX where the textures would go back to blurry as they trailed away. The other was the fog. . .on several landings, the volumetric (sp?) fog was very evident and very impressive.

Some cool things in this sim.

When I first got 1.2 last year, I was just giant eyeballs, staring at all the cool features of the scenery. I spent like 2 weeks just flying stock planes around in Prepar3D, taking in all the scenery effects and things that I could never see in FSX. And now with V2, there are now new features (again) that are pretty amazing. I think my fave is interior shadows. The realism of the shadows and the HDR lighting are just brilliant. But also flying through a cloud and its a mist instead of a giant banner plate hovering in the air is also pretty darn cool.

Dino's T-45C with REX4 Direct. Love the clouds.

I agree Bill. Last evening I was testing some recent payware installations and noticed as I entered a cloud that I wasn't "passing through" a flat plane, but an actual cloud with volume to it. Pretty awesome, and yes, the interior shadows are amazing as well.

Some recent flights as I continue to tweak here and there:

 

[Roger]

Ed I presume that you have FTX Global installed? Those shots look great!

Actually no Roger. I'm flying the hoplist on our SOH Server and it happens to be in the Rockies, which I have from Orbx.

Over Aerosoft's Venice X in Prepar3d v2.1 - that scenery still looks great after all these years...and after all these years is still a frame-rate hog...
