Great video Rick, those tight turns actually made me take a deep breath!
Your version of FSX looks good too, if only those awful grey appron textures did not look so pants, it would almost pass for the real thing at times!

Hi Brian
Edited in moviemaker on a P4 3 ghz too so quite pleased it worked.
Scenery (should be on credits page ?) but is MegasceneryX Hawaii (OAHU)
i use it for screenies as it's framerate friendly and looks great.
I always fly with full weather using ActiveskyX & Flight Enviroment X at the same time.
still getting mid 30s to low 100s framerates
slightly slow texture draw on first load of the VC but i think acceptable
some recent FSX payware takes eons to load the textures on my main PC
So i am not too worried.
My main worry is all the radios etc in full 3d is turning into a programming nightmare as FS will not allow some funtions in 3d
so it's taking time to program the xml animation workarounds so that it all functions realistically.
I still have to sort out all the gear doors onto their full thickness & details then duplicate the VC to the front seat and alter the changes for pupil seat
as there are a lot more differences than i realised.
When it arrives i think it should be worth the wait.
Regards
Rick

Hello everyone,
Im Ken of South Yorkshire, England, just joined and wanted to say pleased to meet you all.
Im 70yrs old and a couple of weeks back realised my dream by taking control of a Cessna 152 ( watched carefully by the pilot) for ten minutes. Ive waited 50 yrs to to do that.
Just downloaded a Comet 4C and got decent panel and cabin shots on my Fs2004 rig, would like better if I can but delighted with the Comet, real queen of the air, years ahead of the US we were then.
I also like the Canberra but cant seem to be able to get one with a panel with gauges, just black holes .
Maybe its my FS2004 that cant manage it, but would apprecaite knowledge of where to get one with gauges too.
Well nice to meet you all.
