Being blown away by FSX with NZ VLC

[nalbers]

Okay, I'm officially blown away by how good FSX looks on a machine suited to running it. I've recently managed to purchase such a machine (Intel i7 quad core with 8 Gb ram & NVidia GeForce GTX460) and just finished installing FSX and the new Vector Landclass. Sliders are set to max on most items...

First, a test flight with the FSX version of the iFly 747. A short hop from NZCH to NZAA. Picture shows the Malborough sounds in the background.



That was nice, but then I decided to try out the new ultralight over Milford Sound. Words fail me as to how good that looks!

On Approach for a landing.


Almost down...


All I can say is: To everyone who made the NZ Vector Landclass possible,

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
Oh and keep up the amazing work!

Beautiful scenery - might I ask the native (max) resolution of your monitor with the GTX460?

HD 1080p: 1920 x 1080 with 32 bit colour.

And the scenery everywhere in NZ is like this, just gorgeous. Now all I need is to find a few of my favourite airports for FSX and I'm really cooking. I used to live in Chch, so I hope I can find some more of the south Island airports besides the RealNZ FSX Wanaka.

Tell me about it. Although in my case it would be re-emigrating. I lived in Chch NZ until I turned 18.
