Hey everyone, here's another flight I did about a week ago from NS to WN in the default King Air. I was impressed with the modelling of the systems of the King air (for a default offering anyway).

I took off from runway 20 because the winds were calm and it was closer to my parking spot.

Taxi. The landing wasn't very smooth so I didn't take a picture.

Enjoy and comment!

Nice one. Love the kingair in FSX, wasn't too keen on the other version but this one looks and fly preety sweet..and is that self shadowing I see. It looks great but has a bit of an impact on my system so it get's switched off.

I'm a huge fan of the aircraft self-shadows, I'd never turn them off.

Nice shots, the King Air is a great looking plane, and the FSX one is a big improvement on the FS9 model.

I totally agree Flying Kiwi... however the default Baron Model is looking pretty tired.

Thanks for showing off what FSX has to offer Monkey-

I have to say that the grass, road and runway textures look far more realistic in your shots than they look in my fs9.
