Screenshots

This new offering by MS and Team looks amazing ! Thanks for the great series of screenshots everyone. Would love to see what The Bahamas looks like , especially Rum Cay and San Salvador. Need to start saving for a new PC and monitor ! Mike :wavey:

Watermasks are a work in progress and for most of the world, water is still completely opaque. I dont know about The Bahamas, but Turks & Cocoas looks incredible. A taste of things to come. I'll try and post something today for you.
 
Some of the outlying islands near The Bahamas features the shallow water masking, but as mentioned though, there is going to be a lot more of such features coming in the future (each hand-edited) and the main islands don't yet feature the shallow water detail.

I'll also echo Noddy by saying it is great to see you back, Bob!

Here's a couple of shots of San Salvador. Unfortunately, it was a bit cloudy, but you get the idea...

Some screenshots from around and over The Bahamas. The waters off the main mass of The Bahamas is still waiting for its detailed water masking features like this shown here around the smaller outlying islands, surely to come in a future update.









 
One of those "don't ask how it happened" photos...

(forgot to put the parking brake on and some gusts sent my plane somersaulting down the cliff when I was off roaming the island with the drone camera)

Been quite some time, brother! Good to see you still around, recognize a lot people still! :wavey:
 
Early evening poodle about from my local airfield on the south coast of England.
Thanks to Bomber for screen capture advice.

Man, BananaBob is back and John forgot to set the parking brake. 2020 just keeps getting more weird. :a1310:

Nice to see you back BB. John, which island is that? Is that the one across (south) from St. Martin? I can't remember the name of it right now. BTW, If you crash, save the flight, then reload it, and the plane will be in the exact spot right side up and running. Let's call it an educated guess. ;)

Wow. I've just remembered who BananaBob is. Man, you were there when I first started tweaking FSX and I found myself at a lot of your posts with advice and guidance.

Good to see you Sir!

The island is Saba, which is all hand-crafted, and the airport is called TNCS Juancho E. Yrausquin. I set the record for the landing challenge there the last week before launch, the only I was ever on the leader board. :)
