A few more shots using FEX. Set the cloud base fairly low, and also 8/8 cover, then set the wave animation to moderate sea and got a few good flights in.









smooth landings.

Make sure I'm in your will for your computer should anything happen to you biggrin.gif

Your shots with FEX really show what is possible with FSX, although for a bit of added realism, try the Vistaliners 737-300 with one of Dan Mitchell's many fantastic NZ repaints.

If you're talking about the VL 737, it works in both. Ask Alister (Albatross) how to get it into FSX.

The specification of the computer is not that fantastic, 2.2Ghz dual core, Nvidvia 8600GT graphics card, 4GB RAM. The main thing is that I have been trying out lots of tweaks and also LOTS of adjustments with the settings- things like downloading new tree textures. Getting good screenshots is much easier with FSX, as on one view, you can move around the whole aircraft as well as up and down and zoom in/out, so can move 360 degrees, giving so many possiblilities.

That said, I still do not think that Microsoft should have released a product that needs so much adjustment to get it working correctly. Two service packs plus all the other tweaks needed to get it working ok. So keep trying!!

smooth landings.
