• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Sometimes FS makes you go wow....

Tropical Saturation

Wow probably just because it's so different from where I usually play...
This is Thailand, found some wild clouds and sky near VTCC, a superb freeware gem I'll put into the appropriate thread.

Finally caved in...

and bought Active Sky.
Not sure whose textures are whose, but you get some subtle variations that were definitely not there before.
So, a sentimental treatment of an old favourite...

One of the main reasons I've held off on FSX is because of the wealth of FS9 addons that have come our way over the years. Obviously I'm well behind the curve, and will probably never catch up. But I'm luvin' what I'm seeing on my computer screen, feel priveliged, and want for not (regarding the flightsim experience.)

A good example of too many downloads, too little time, is my reading in this thread about FS Recorder. (HuH?) Say.....I downloaded that when it first came out.....(Waitaminute.....LOOK....yeahhhhhh!!) It's there, sitting in my modules folder....ready to go for over a year!!

.....Hmmm.....let's try it....

....Mmmmm...dang...that's cool......!!

....Still lot's to install, explore, experience. This is just great. What's the rush getting on with the newest, latest, most trendy...? I think I'm just going to take my time and savour this.

Hmmm...maybe we can generate a flight of B-17 Fortresses over Boeing Field.....hmmmm....
:applause:
 
Thank you Mr Diaz

So what's this Wow?
This Wow is taxiing your nice Beriev in to Budapest Ferihegy, and finding some kickass AI you'd forgotten were in the sim! ;)
