Sadly the only night I tend to fly these days is a Thursday and that's online with the Bristol Flight Sim Group. I don't fly anything bigger than a small twin either.

That's not a problem. We have set out to accommodate all experiences and plane types (no structure
). I'd still like to get 6 people, 3 planes, shared cockpits on a VFR flight somewhere.Some lovely shots above, although having a powerful PC does help during flying, it can make very little difference while taking screen shots due to the fact you DO NOT need decent FPS, even getting @5-10fps while you MAX your settings if you only need to take screen shots. Also, like flying itself, you get better in time with more practice. I didn't get this good overnight, more like a steady improve in my screen shot skills over a period of @3-4 years, I feel it is only in the past 6-9 months where I am happy personally with my own work and even then, I am my own worst critic 
.
Talking about screen shots, here are some of my latest collection, these shots taken anywhere over the past @3 years, theme is; spotting heavies, unedited shots.
Addons used: REX2.0 OD (various themes), ENB mod (various settings), PMDG 747 + MD-11 & McPhat HD repaints, CLS747, Captain Sim's B-52 and many various addon airports.

Nice shots as ever guys.
Speaking of heavy's I'm going to run out of fingers if PMDG don't release the 777 soon
I really need to get FSX back on my pc properly again and start flying even if its only one or twice a month. I have the PMDG 737 and its just an awsome plane. Flew it around the world last year (virtual ofc)
I got the bullet from BA Virtual as either they did not get the email when I had to stop flying when my partner took ill or they axed me for non flying.
Thomson VA though acknowledged my position and agreed not to bin me and keep me active until my partner finishes her cancer treaments (about anther 8 weeks)

Ok spoke too soon, it seems I've been axed from Thomson VA. I've emailed HR and I'll wait and see what they say.
As for BAV I'm not sure how they deal with reapplication after termination, email said termination is permanent.....
Worst case? Ill fly for myself lol

Soya brilliant shots as always dude - can you tell me what AI traffic you use? It looks great. My fav is that B52 one, the old gal still belching about!
Well for the hell of it I reapplied to BAV as their recruiting so I'll wait and see what happens.
Meantime I'll reinstall FSX and all my scenery etc this week ready to start flights again. I really enjoy flying EGLL to LEPA and back for some reason
There's also only one aircraft I'm going to install as all the rest are just toys Any guesses?

PMDG MD-11? Concorde X? Maddog MD-82? NGX?
They're all about as good as one another.

Come fly with FedEx virtual http://fedexvac.org/. I signed up with them about 2 weeks ago and they are very professional and have a great setup. They use a system called VAFS5 have a read at http://www.vafinancials.com/v5/index.php.
Great shots again Soya!
What on earth did you do to upset the BAV management?!
Nothing I'm aware of, I think its there automated email for account suspension for lack of flying.

Going to check them out - I've heard about them from somewhere else (can't quite remember where) and they sounded good. Always useful to have a trusted recommendation!
Great shots as ever Soya.

You should be able to join again no problem in that case.
I will be joining you tonight mate. Again up for anything as usual. I have had two nightmare nights on my 737 though...my landings have been shocking.
Rich, they are very good. A professionally lot indeed. Like most VA’s you have to fly at least 2 flights a month with them and in the comments section of Fsinn or Squawkbox you need to add fedexvac.org. Also you don’t have to fly online. Vatsim is just an extra option. They have a team speak server too(not spoken to them on that yet). I normally fly with Blue and Chaders first and then do my FedEx flight after.
Soya as somebody asked above, what traffic package are you using please?
SimSRD v2 now available.
Very good tool for internal UK flights.(thanks Blue
)
I’ve started using Vroute for all other flights(just the standard version)I then transfer into EFB.

Well my Account with Thomson Virtual is back active so that's ok.
My SSD is dead again that's the fourth time the OCZ one has died and this time it was on a different channel and power lead. The channel works fine with the other drives. Not impressed so RMA time again.
Anyway I'm in the middle of reinstalling FSX
I'm going for the minimal approach this time, FSX + Acceleration + patches.
Track IR
PMDG 737 + Bare minimum liveries.
FS Global 2010.
Rex Essentials FSX
Main UK airports and a few European and Mediterranean ones eg Innsbruck, Palma, Menorca, Ibiza, Faro, Larnica Dalaman etc.
A few other odds and sods but not bothering installing the whole world again until I need something. So as its the 737 then I wont worry about north amerca until the 777.
Can't wait
