The VC shot's nice.Fulvio Mazzokan's photoscenery at a guess...I've just been over the same part of the world, from Chamonix down to Catania.

Ah yes...the PSS bird, it is a real pity that they never followed through on this bird properly, for it had so much potential for its time, and then some.Very nice on the shots.

Thanks guys for your kind words, Yes, it´s a pity PSS went out of business, cause I´d like to have that bird in FSX as well. And yep, its Italy_islands_VFR by Fulvio Mazzokan.BTW there was a video on youtube which has been removed lately (maybe because it might have been taken from worldairroutes - I don´t know) that showed an Intersky Dash 8 on its carrier-like approach to Marina di Campo right over the hills and then drifting down to the runway where the captain - after making a safe landing - remarks "Macht doch immer wieder Spaß" meaning "It´s fun every time, isn´t it". . I guess it was two years ago when they came in way too low, cutting a high voltage power line that runs across the approach path about a hundred meters before the rwy threshold and severely damaged their right prop as well I could spend hours practicing that approach, I ljust ove it.
