A flightsim year in pictures

Post and comment on screen captures from the beautiful game here. Home of the monthly screenshot competition

Hi everyone, at the start of last year I decided I would keep a record of my favourite shots from flight sim during 2007, and keep them in a gallery so I can view them for all time. I snap pictures on nearly all my flights but only my favourites make it in here. Sometimes it's just to have a record of the flight, or the airline, or the livery or aircraft, but usually just because it's a great view.
So, 2007 has been and gone, and it's time to share them :)
It's a picasa album, so you'll be presented with a number of thumbnails- 177 photos!. Click near the top right for large thumbnails, or I recommend the slideshow option (top left), then you don't have to click anything and can just enjoy some screenshots of what we all love, flight simming. I know they aren't all from New Zealand, but given I do a heck of a lot of flying in the USA, it's hardly surprising :D

Happy New Year!

*Cough* Airbus?
OK OK I also ain't going...
Beautiful collection Alister, also very consistent quality which is possibly the hardest part.
And Google pins too!
Whew.

Wow, err, thats quite a few you've got there. Excellent as well (of course), but I had to stop myself after watching your slideshow for 10mins. :blink:

Amazing stuff mate, every shot there really are top notch as Charl says- even the dark night time pictures are stunning and your mesh for the USA is impressive throughout.

My favourite shot out the lot is the low down of the DC3 arriving at dusk in the Caribbean, you certainly know how to compose a masterpiece! :clap:

Thanks Andrew :D I know you had a sneak peak earlier but yeah, that shot was a more recent addition.

Wow nice shots Albatross.

What Q200 & Twin Otter models are you are using?

Q200 from Dreamwings, and Twin Otter from Premier Aircraft
Visiting the page I see now they have just released a new Embraer 190.. I possibly have an older version of their Twin Otter than showing on the website.
