It's 8PM EST. Can't find flights on schedule, and I don't show on VatSpy at X44 - don't think it's on Vatsims radar. And ATC is all lit up. So I'm just flying to FA75 offline.

Barry,

Glad to see you participating in this event!!! X44 as well as all mentioned seaplane bases are recognized by Vatsim. Check out Lord Letto's flight path showing how great job he is doing to follow this event's specific flying instructions: http://vataware.com/flight.cfm?id=10679489

And Barry,

I forgot one more thing. In event you do not see flights on CVA database, you can go ahead and fly on Vatsim. Once completing the flight, use manual PREIP filing on CVA website and enclose link of your vataware proof showing that you have completed the flight on Vatsim.

Sorry I got mixed up. Yes Aharon I know all about that stuff thanks. I'll try to stay on-line next time. Here's shots of the trip down to Flying Bonefish (I didn't see anything there like a base but do have the location). Scenery out of Miami is by Drzewiecki Design.

Out of Miami Seaplane Base

Not much to see at Flying Bonefish!

So I hopped down to Marathon and landed. Nice flight!!

Barry,

Great screenshots but are you using FSX or FS9?? If it is FSX, it is something wrong with FSX default water settings. What settings are your water settings?? It should show gorgeous turquoise blue Caribbean style waters during WHOLE FLIGHT ROUTE from Miami to Marathon to Key West which is PRECISELY why I organized this event to show all of you beauty of FSX DEFAULT turquoise blue Caribbean style water.

To all CVA pilots, when you fly in this event, please set water settings to full high 100 percent.

I fail to comprehend why you do not see anything in this event when I see plenty of FSX default stuff in this event and past flights along precise same route which is why I wanted to share with all of you such beauty of this flight.

Cloudy, late afternoon, Florida in November. Rex did not pick the bright water textures this time. All depends on the sun!

Aharon · Posted: Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:36 pm

ahh I see Barry

Waters using my suggested specific flight path are supposed to look like this:

I thought expensive REX waters would be better than FSX default???????

Unless I am mistaken, textures depend on weather, time, graphic settings, etc.

Not everyone can run with water settings at max.

Not everyone has same graphic settings, unless they just max everything out.
