scenery is 'jessenicko II' - it's some amazing freeware. if you want to find out more go here: http://www.forum-design.co.uk/air/revie ... .php?id=16

i hadn't used the scenery in ages and didn't even know it had winter textures! the scenery actually changes too, the tents, cars and gliders are gone...i guess the fields are closed :wink:.

the aircraft is the Flight1 c172r but modified to new SP specs and with FS2Crew lite which has more annoying bits than good so far.

the set would have been longer but a) it's 3.20am so i cut it short and b) these are pretty large images...

i couldn't get the shots how i wanted them, but some turned out quite nice. the computer has been on all day and is a bit clogged up...

hi jonesy, thanks for your comments.

the scenery is simply stunning, if you look at the official site you can see it in summer (when i got it) and it's wonderful. i used fly online round there with some other guys, awesome just to take it slow and explore - there's a lot of stuff to see.

my ground map is ' texture_relief.zip' from avsim.

on a side note, i went to purchase the dreamfleet a36 tuther day, but i can't as i only have a bank card and the F1 wrapper doesn't except that - how did you buy yours?

If you gave a paypal account I believe you can use that to purchase. Just send Flight1 a ticket on their support system requesting a paypal transaction and they'll tell you exactly what to do.

ah that sounds good, thanks.

i'm caught up between the a36 and realair sf260 still...both intended for touring. one has equipment and eye candy one has visbility and can be chucked around :think:

Thanks. Looks good but doesnt quite match the snowy apron as the snow is brighter now lol.

As for the RA SF60 and the SF Bonanza... Well If I didnt have either it would be a hard choice indeed.
The Bonanza is one hell of an aeroplane. My personal number 1 for GA. My number 2 is the DF B58 :) Ive got my A36 rigged up with one of Peter McLeland's turbocharger kits that gives you 350hp and 35 inches MP up to 18000 feet. Cruising at Fl250 at 25 sqaure is also possible at well over 200KTAS. Ive also heavily customised the 2D & VC panels.

I will have to get the SF260 as it looks extreamly nice in the screenshots, especially the VC with 3d guages.

Helpful comments about the A36 and Baron. Got them both today from ebay and the Aeroworx B200. Boxed versions for £10 each incl p/p so I'm happy.

Think I'll stick with FS2004 and add to my GA fleet as people dispose of them.

For the heavy metal I don't need to open my wallet :dance: . And of course there are some nice GA aircraft here too.
