Just back from the hospital after having had my jaw surgically reattached after having seen those screenshots :-O :lol: . I wonder how many hours that took, its stunning! Mr Summons certainly doesnt have anything to worry about from my scenery! I think my latest stuff will just about keep pace with his FS98 efforts!

<Mr Pedantic>It didnt appear to be shown in the second set, but the wings on the Trident looked a bit long (i.e. the original length :lol: )</Mr Pedantic> I wonder if Gary knows its missing 15ft off each one? *-)

I have had the pleasure of beta testing this one and its on beta 3 now , each one looking better all the time :) There will be differences for fs9 and fsx as fsx (i hate to say it) can do a little more in mesh etc than the fs9 one, however the fs9 one is brilliant! Look out for the white pub and garden at the end of the runway, it took me back seeing it on a Virgin 747 earlier this year and looks spot on, the aeropark with people watching is also very good. here are acouple of pictures I did testing out a paint job I did for HJG.
For the price it will be retailing at its a must have..

The pictures don't do it real justice, the Concorde can be shown or the concorde hanger, the ground texture on the concorde is not finished yet, the road under the runway in FSX is cut out so traffic runs under it in FS9 it does not but still looks cool with cars running all over the place. The frame rate I am getting was around 50fps this seems to be a nHancer thing as in windowed mode, yuk.. I get over 400!! nHancer seems to lokk me down to a max of around 50 but thats as smooth as silk :)

Smashing piece of work! Thanks for the shots, Tony!

The question remains how hard it will impact on frame rates... 8)
It looks so detailed as if you'd had to buy a new computer with it!

Best,

its seems pretty good actually due to the way Gary has compiled the scenery etc, I think an average PC which is what?? should cope. I have a decent set up but no means top of the range and it performs perfectly...I run everything max including AI

Every one of Garry's releases gets better

but i guess that makes more pain as he will then have to update other packages.

does look very good (A must have for sure)

I have all the others and buy them as soon as they are out :thumbsup:

Regards

Have to say that is absolutely stunning though in a way I am stuck between the devil and deep blue sea on this!! :doh:

Our Dave did Manchester albeit for the Sixties and Seventies but enjoy it tremendously, now this one of Garys' has come along and put me into a right dither!! :dunno:

Oh, decisions decisions!!!! :wall:
