Cheers Nigel

I liked the mountains in the background.

On a lot of scenary the detail doesn't flow up the mountains like that...looks nice and no matter how good the aeroplane subject you do need a good background :)

Agree with you on scenery Garry, wouldn't it be nice if that scenery could be worldwide on FS. Hardly any framerate hit at all.

No reason at all why MS could not do it like that for any future releases.

Jeez. Tony! If I'd wanted to know how it felt to be a North Vietnamese rice farmer, I'd have asked :lol: "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" :o

I've been trying to recreate 'The Sport of Kings' in Recorder, but the drogues don't show in the replay. So I've had to do it using DM's AI C1K in which the drogues are out whenever the wheels are up. So this is not actually a Recorder screenie but it's in the same spirit! This is in the Kai Tak area, Nigel, so keep those darned Chipmunks out of my way :lol:

Ian.....you can "fool" recorder into showing the probes......Make an AI flight with no probes then fly the K1 and play as traffic the saved AI flight using the best model and then drag your probes and hey presto.......

Going for a nibble.....

Yeah - tell me again in English!

So the aircraft with the drogues is the one you are flying and the lower one is the recorded AI one? Or have I got the wrong end of the probe here? Is there a way of having the recorded a/c flying with drogues so you can attempt to dock with it? Or can you only pose for pics? :lol:

Stunning screenie, by the way :welldone:

Ian :)
