Some shots taken from flights I've done over the last week:

Juliana International and Kai Tak landing shots are excellent.

Just installed Aerosofts new Twin Otter Extended

Quick test flight, will be doing circuits at EGPR after work tonight

What's your verdict on it?

another dreamliner caught fire at heathrow

Edit: lots of sources claiming it was an aft galley fire, most likely a coffee pot boiling dry and not tripping. Done quite a lot of damage to the fuselage skin, possibly a write off given the nature of its construction!

Lovely shots Dappo, especially the Cathay 747. Are you using any night mods?

shadow_boxer · 13 Jul 2013 at 15:08

Cathay shot is very good. Presumably rex overdrive but do you use opus for weather?

Dappo · 13 Jul 2013 at 16:49

Thank you. Yes, its REX with Opus and the 24Hr Natural ENB.

Thanks. Just done a full reinstall of fsx and been looking for decent enb settings, will have a look at the 24hr one.

Vuvuzela · 13 Jul 2013 at 19:50

The enb mods are just not working for me, not sure why?

I tried that purple haze one and it made everything too yellow. Tried the 24hr one and it was too dark!

:confused:

Dappo · 13 Jul 2013 at 21:30

I've found that if using REX textures, some of the sky textures can look weird or horrible with ENB mods.

I use REX Natural Dawn, Natural Day and Natural Dusk/Golden Desert [OD] with the 24Hr Natural ENB for my screenshots.

Going to try your REX textures and see if it makes any difference!

Very nice. Very sharp.!

Haven't had FSX installed in ages, really got the bug again the last week and have been desperate to re-install it all. I might wait until FTX Global is out and do it with the minimum of fuss, it should be a case of installing FSX, PMDG 737, REX for weather and FTXG for textures and then flying with a beautiful FSX, saves a lot of messing about with different add-ons.

Are FTX Scotland and England worth it? I'm hanging back on buying them to see what FTXG is like, but I will probably end up buying them anyway as most of my flying is done around the UK.

It's excellent, haven't flown anything else since I got it

Glasgow Approach

Please keep images to below 1280px wide. If you have a large image to post, you can stick it in

tags like I've done for you above - Rilot

Dappo · 15 Jul 2013 at 16:59

Nice pictures!

I agree, EU England, Scotland and Wales are excellent. Definitely adds to the immersion when flying low and slow or when taking off and landing in a larger jet.

The FTX regions are done in high detail where everything is hand placed with their custom landclass. FTX Global will have repeated textures like default although that will change when they release their OpenLC packages.

That 777 Crash at SFO... As you might imagine, the airline are suing this new station for their faked names of the pilots...

picnic · 16 Jul 2013 at 10:16

LOL - best tasteless news piece I've seen all year

Should add, not funny for those involved and lost their lives,

by my first effort.

Vuvuzela · 17 Jul 2013 at 10:41

Great photos lads!

Rebuilding my FSX, just getting too many errors of late! Almost done

Once its built going to try Dappo's REX settings and then try the different ENB settings and see which ones works best.

Dappo · 17 Jul 2013 at 20:25

I've had a go at making my first FSX video and thought I would share.

It shows an Easyjet A320 on a short approach and landing at London Stansted's runway 22 with taxiing to the gates.

Just a shame that there is some of the worst ATC AI traffic directing. =/
