I tried out CVA-4450 last night aching to get away from this: Quote: do do do ..... looking out my back door... CCR Even in the pre-dawn darkness the Caribbean looks more inviting! Just after pulling out of Port-Au-Prince's Toussaint Louverture Airport. (Yes, even a simulated sunrise has a warming effect....) A verrrrry verrrry strong effect.... No no! It's not snow, its just a cloud! Passing over La Romana in the Dominican Republic about 1/3 of the way into the flight. This one is nearly identical to the previous picture but was taken about 1/4 of a second later the only difference being the absence of "Airport Names". I've set up an advanced macro on the 4 way switch on the throttle of my Saitek X52 that snaps a screenshot then toggles airport names and snaps a second screenshot before finally toggling airport names a final time. The end result is two nearly identical pictures but one that doesn't prove I'm cheating by having names toggled on Leaving Puerto Rico's coastline behind about 2/3's of the way. I'm not sure who did the repaint for the Posky 767 but they did a beautful job, didn't they? Almost there! the gps shows about 10 minutes to Princess Julianna Intl. but sadly the only 767 in CVA colors I have a available is the posky and it doesn't like my 64 bit system and just after this shot I got the dreaded "fatal error Flight simulator is restarting" message. Trust me, after staying up until well after 3 a.m. to finish this haul it's not the message you want to see Thanks for viewing! Gary

Let's just say I've had at least 8 or 9 40th birthdays Quote: Too bad about your POSky. It looks great. I thought it was the LDS at first (though I guess it's the same paint). You can tell it isn't the the LDS because of the the Virtual Cockpit snapshot, (thats the one labelled "A verrrrry verrrry strong effect....") Thanks for liking the story Rob! Gary

Great pics!!!!
You should save the flight every 10 minutes or so so that this way if your FSX or your PC crashes, you can resume the flight from saved flight and go on to land on TNCM:):)
Regards,
Aharon Thanks Aharon! I never even thought of saving the flight! Odd because I'm usually a big *save/autosave* type person. I'll be doing it from here on in FSX as well now. Gary
