Starting to Enjoy these longer flights especially with Live weather - note the 4th shot shows we had a 120kt crosswind the whole way

DashCap ...superb work. How on earth do you compensate for a 120kt crosswind? ....point the nose at Tahiti and hope for the best.
The last time I was in Nadi, was on a P-3... would love to go back.

Haha well I let the autopilot do all the work, means the aircraft is pointing well to the left of the gps line as u can see in the pic!

Yeah I've never been there for real would live to go once that is possible...

Amazing shots

I guess nobody wants to see FSX screenshots anymore considering the fact that MS2020 is very beautiful

God help me. Got to figure out how to make FSX screenshots as interesting as MS2020!!

And thanks for your kind words.

The visual gap between flight simulation and reality is closing fast. Some of those screenshots are almost indistinguishable between the two
