Close to finishing the rebuild of my FS9 - here the results of a recent "test" flight

Looks stunning Naki, what are you using for the water tex?

Nothing better than a photoreal airport scenery weather it a niner or ex-cellent

Fauville - its Zinertech water textures - yea Orca Island is an excellent small scenery - bought it back in May and haven't got it going properly (and never got around to asking on their support forums) until the reinstall.

Cool shots Naki. Good to see that you have recovered from your PC problems! Hope im threadjacking here but I also did a complete reinstall of my system. runs great

No probs - yes have to say my sim is runnning a lot better - no more CTDs ( I think never added the FS9.1 update to my last iteration) and also did have some scenery/mesh clashes in some areas.

Night water's looking good...
That's the scenery where the dude at the fuel pump gets up and gives you a wave isn't it?
Very well done as I recall - seen the Orcas jump yet?

Thanks for the comments guys.

I caught a small glimpse of the Orcas - they seem to pop from the sea at the end of runway when I am landing.

I haven't seen a guy wave at me but I haven't really had a chance to look too carefully. I think you might be thinking of Emma. I bought Emma many years ago - incidentially I am having problems reinstalling Emma as Lago does not seem to exist anymore

- their web site appears to be dead.

Are those water textures freeware or payware? they look very real to me

Posted: **Tue Nov 11, 2008 9:42 pm**

They are payware - off simmarket

Posted: **Wed Nov 12, 2008 2:46 pm**

Ooh they do look nice.. Is this a new comp or just a fresh install?

Posted: **Wed Nov 12, 2008 3:04 pm**

Fresh install but Ive switched to a larger hard drive which means I can install a LOT more stuff ...but I must constrain myself as I dont want to over bloat it this time

...MUST ...CONSTRAIN...
Orcas is a great little scenery, and of course you can't stop there, because the entire NW US and Canada beckons

It was here the guy with the newspaper gives you a wave when you amble up to the fuel store:

Ahh yes - have a big chunk of NW USA and a very small bit of Canada (Vancouver +...incidentially I have found a very good freeware scenery site for Ontario - I will post a link when I find it again) ...I am off to have another looksie for the guy with the newspaper

Hell with scenery and water textures like that who needs FSX? I have a copy of FSX, in fact I got it given to me in return for helping Bryan York out with FS2Crew for the PMDG 747. Until now I have never had anything to run it on. With all my amassed scenery and aircraft I am loathe to start all over again.
Some of the FSX screenies I see on here are great, and I get all enthused, and others just look very plastic. Thats without even discussing frame rates.
Maybe a leap of faith is needed (or FS11)

Just love that guy waving!

My clip is abbreviated...actually, there's this guy sitting at the fuelpump, reading last week's Vancouver Times.
You cruise up to refuel, and after a bit, he looks up, gets up, waves his newspaper, and shouts out: "Shut the f**k up, willya!".
When you shut down, he goes back to reading the paper.
You pump your own gas...

This was a remarkable little scenery when released a few years ago, and is still 100% valid.
