Thanks for your comments - much appreciated.My system is actually quite modest for FSX.AMD 64 X2 4200+, 2 Gigs memory, 2 x 7900GT in SLI (althought I don

Elevations in this area are wild. Evanston is at about 7,000. And the wind doesn't make it easier.I took a little tour of the Uintas a few years back in a Cessna, we were at about 3,000 AGL and my head was swimming some 'cause we were over 12,000 ASL.

Here is some additional information on this area. It includes a geological diagram how Table Top Mtn and Devils Peak came about plus a historical dialog.http://web.uct.ac.za/depts/geolsci/dlr/106s/ (add d47.jpg at end of this address)http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html...agewanted=printLooks like the Mtn and peak are sedimentary layered remnants sitting on top of a large granite batholith on which Cape Town sits. The sedimentary stuff would have joined the hills in the distance at Somerset West where you can see the distinctive layer bedding in the cliffs. All of the layers between these two sites have been worn away due to the drainage system meandering toward the coast during probably the Tertiary and Quaternary time periods.Re WOZ

Seems that you are pretty much on to that already.

I was stuck in evanston for a week when my landing gear failed on my debonair at the time. I had a full load-took off early in the morning-when I went to retract my gear it wouldn't come it. With it down I was only climbing 100 ft. a minute.Saw a good rodeo there though...http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg

2nd the call for more of those widescreen pics please! I thought I'd satisfied my longings with a 22" LCD and the extra bit of sideview it gives, but dammit that sounds like widescreen heaven WOZ. :-coolRob

Here's a 180 degree panorama of the Palm Springs, California area. Nice example of an alluvial fan coming down out of the mountains just in front of the Cessna. The right side of the image is the pass that leads from the dessert into the Los Angeles Basin. The left side is looking towards the south in the direction of the Salton Sea. I used autostitch to stitch three images together for this poor man's verson of WOZ's spectacular panoramas. No comparison to his images but fun anyway.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/172421.jpg

I have a new set of shots concentrating on formations you see from the air.http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...id=258222&page=http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg

These shots are mouthwatering.

Those shots you posted are excellent Geofa. You are right, only in FSX/Tileproxy can you see such realism. Here is another taken as I rounded the turn from Palm Springs through the pass towards the west. This is looking south.http://farm1.static.flickr.com/229/5140565...b63fd56e2_o.jpg

A french TileProxy enthusiast went huntin' for crop circles and found some! http://www.libertysim.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11323That french user named "RedCloud" has produced some of the most stunning series of screenshots with TP so far. All of his image series in the "Screens - Multimedia" board of the libertysim forum are VERY excellent.

Oops, the African mesh is available at the Simviation sitehttp://www.simviation.com/fsx_terrainmesh.htmnot at AVSIM. Sorry folks.WOZ

magnifique!, exquis!WOZ

Stunning as usual OZ, Your panaramics are tempting me to sell my projector and buy another 2 monitors :)Ive been hanging around the Matterhorn a lot recently too. It's really quite a challenge getting up there from Sion in the Ultralite but the views make it well worth the effort.
