IA's 1st Flight Simulator Competition!

[Wedgy]

My final attempt at White Waltham





Nose up(ish) this time

[IanM]

I keep crashing when trying to take the picture

Oh and as I still don't have a VC-10 I've been using a Victor!

[Wedgy]

Why didnt you download the FS9 one I provided on the first page somewhere? Or Pmed me as per the first post for the FSX one?

Ian, are you on Vista? If so, in Accessories there is a useful thing called "Snipping tool". Drag the mouse over the area of the picture you want and save it (I use Desktop so I know where it is). Post on Photobucket as usual. If in FS you use instant replay, you can pause the replay exactly where you want, and use the snipping tool to capture the frame. I know you probably know all this, but it may be useful to others, too.

And in FSX, just press V

Dan4th, but you can call me M'lud.

[Wedgy]

Seconded . Come on MF just one attempt

[Mayfly]

No don't expect an entry from me gremlins are at work in my FSX - my JPs are coming up as Hunters, my Spitfires are Nimrods & it just won't show me a VC10 at all ............ + most of my a/c are just plain gray no markings at all

I need to reinstall everything

[Dan4th]

I'll bet it was DT (!!!!!!!!!) who messed it up!

Dan4th

[Mayfly]

Jealousy do you think?

[Saracenman]

odd - i posted this earlier this afternoon but it disappeared

if anyone happens to recall seeing it earlier, please let me know coz i think I'm going mad(der)

my second attempt at low VC10 at White Waltham, but this time done in GameSpy with Wedgy waiting at WW in his camera-ship helo.......



actually, i came in lower than i had intended and scared the crap out of Wedgy!





personally i think my previous attempt was far more realistic (compared to the real Victor Mike original) as this one was done too fast, with the wrong angle of attack - i needed more nose-up attitude really, like my previous attempt.

nice and low though

[Mackrick]

Not while I'm on the forum. I can multi-task, but that would be just rude and inconsiderate.

[Saracenman]

and somewhat cold, breezy, muddy and lonely too me thinks
