I've discovered the Nvidia 8800 card drivers are horrible.
So have been tinkering, using one of my favourite aircraft of all time, the Emirates A340-500.
I think I'm almost back to where I was with the ATI Radeon card of old.
These are unretouched:



It's the CLS model I dug out from an old HDD.
As I keep saying, there's always an FS9 delight to be found when you rummage around.
There's just so much stuff.



This one is heavily not unretouched.
Actually I might put it into tis month's SS contest "grounded".
Given who the major Team New Zealand America's Cup sponsor is, and where they are...
And the fact that Auckland airport is soon to become part of the oil cartel thanks to the greedy local mayors selling it off...

Nice graphics Charl.

The first two sceenies look like a 05R appoach to AA, but the bottom shot looks as if you have landed on 23L, otherwise there would be the harbour behind you.. right?

Yes I'm afraid it's not really a sequence.
I was trying to outdo evvii with his RW grass and so put it down on 23R

Ah someone is awake!
Aw shucks, it's just your standard FS9 landing on a wet taxiway shot...
Not! Maybe Trolly could run a SS contest called "Reflections"?
