With it being the first day of the school holidays, I decided to get up bright and early (well, 10am is rather early on a holiday), and make a quick flight. I decided to fly Virgin Blue from Sydney (YSSY) to Melbourne (YMML)

Engines were started at around 8:15am local time (10:15 NZ)

Taxiing onto the runway. The pilot of the A343 warned me of heavy turbulence between 2500 and 6000ft!

Turning away from Sydney. The turbulence started around here. Wasn't quite as bad as I though it would be though.

Yep, it's the POSKY 737-700, and Brennax, the pictures are showing for me. Are you just seeing a white box with the red cross or just a blank space?

Nice Matt

Did you fly it online? I don't recall the fs9 ai warning of turbulance :lol:

Glad to see you have fs9 working properly now, is that the kittyhawk model?

Posted: **Fri Apr 06, 2007 3:49 pm**

Yes, I did fly it online (IVAO of course), and it is the Posky model of the B737-700.

I have just looked up Kittyhawk on Avsim, and there are some pretty cool looking planes there. Are they worth downloading?

Great shots Matt, what sort of system are you running?

Believe it or not, it's a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop, with a (supposedly) shockingly poor graphics card, and a 1.83gHZ processor with 1GB RAM. Running Win XP alongside Vista (I can't get FS9 to work in Vista, but it runs fine in XP).
Even though it isn't the best system, it still runs with pretty much everything on 'Ultra-High.'

The shots look pretty good for what you are running it on, good work on making them look so good.
