Author Dallas inspired WOW

Following my recent post about getting the system working at OK FPS again I
bought the PMDG 747 to celebrate. I also re-installed some of my scenery and
mesh files. I then de-installed UK2000 airports again as it kills my system,
which is a shame because it looks good.

When I saw Dallas' Wow post a few days ago I thought I would try some
photoreal shots of the UK Lake District and the Cessna 310. I think they
have come out quite well.

I also took some of the 747 at LAX (Mine is the BA one) as I was pretty
impressed by the aircraft generated by Ultimate traffic. Far more than I get
in Manchester UK.

Here are the shots:

BTW that PMDG 747 is excellent if anyone wants to fly heavy metal. Even if
you don't use the FMC it has brilliant handling and is easy (Well behaved)
to hand fly, including landings.

Regards

Geoff

Nice shots! Varmit's WOW (Wild Out West) shots are inspiring, and it makes
you wonder where we'll be this time next year with the sim.. Inquiring
minds want to know......... I'd never guessed a year ago we'd be seeing
what we're now seeing..

I know what you mean about the rain, although the last two times I walked up
there I got burned. That was actually the real weather at the time of those
flights as well. Will be trying something a little more moody at some point
though.

I drive from Scotland to Gloucestershire (and back) around 2-3 times a
year..........so in the last 18 visits (plus a weeks stay) it has been
overcast and rainy........except the one glorious day of April 24th 2000
when we went on a boat trip from Ambleside to Windermere and it was a lovely
dry day!

I reckon your experience is pretty typical, although I quite like the place
whatever the weather. As I live in Manchester it would have to rain quite
hard for me to think of it as bad weather LOL.
