I've been teased by all the screenshots I've seen around the net of FlyTampa's St Maarten, St Baths and Saba addon for too long- so today I decided it was high time I got my own copy, having a bit of spare dosh kicking around the place from my tax rebate! :P

I have to say that FlyTampa's scenery is in a class of its own. There is just so much attention to detail in every aspect of the package, with custom runway textures, 3D grass blades, carefully positioned people and cars throughout the airport areas, and stunning lagoon waterclass- all of which runs surprisingly smooth on my old 2.4GHZ Celaron. The three included airports are obviously built in the finest imaginable quality, bringing a level of realism to my screen that I hadn't experienced before..!

I've been out exploring all day in my JustFlight C152- and I now have 27 favourite screenshots, out of the hundreds that I print-screened, to share with you guys. Sorry 56'kers, I hope the downloading wait is worth it!

1-9 St Maarten TCNM

Phew- thats all of them. By the way, these shots only show my scenery sliders on medium. It's even more impressive on full!! Leave a comment if you wish.

Nice shots. Just curious, what sort of specs do you need on the computer to run this scenery?

Thanks for the comments on my shots.

Yep, however 4 are actually covered in the photoreal area. The airport of Grand Case Airport (TFFG), on the French half of St Maarten island remains untouched- which is dissapointing.

you bounced the landing didnt you?

:whoops: Yeah- I took a nice low slow appoach into Juliana to get a nice view of the scenery and wasn't paying enough attention to my landing as I should have been! You can see the tire smoke where the rubber first hit the ground :P

Just curious, what sort of specs do you need on the computer to run this scenery?

This scenery is surprisingly framerate friendly compared to other payware airport addons that I have. If you can run REAL NZ stuff ok, then I think you would be alright. I have a 2.4ghz processer, with a cr@p GeForce 5600 128MB graphics card and I'm sweet. However, I have 1.5GB ram which proberly makes quite a bit of a difference.
