March 13, 201214 yr After a little break I finally got to fly again today. I reinstalled Windows and FS last week on my new HDD and therefore this also was kind of a test flight if everything worked well. There were some technical difficulties (ATC cancelled my IFR flight plan after EVERY single handoff for no apparent reason. On a second short test flight a few minutes ago this was solved, hopefully for good) but all in all it was a nice flight. I also enjoyed my new textures which give my FS a fresh look. Still a lot of work to do though until everything is back to normal...Pictures are all unedited, since the color saturation is a lot better now with REX Overdrive. Repaint is my attempt on N959BP from ConocoPhillips for Ifly 737NG. If you want it, just shoot me a PM and I'll send it to you. Don't expect high quality though, this was my first repaint...Full report: Discovering Alaska Volume 5: CON 132 – SSC to ANC
March 13, 201214 yr very enjoyable!!! Deadhorse to PANC is one of my favorite routes and I flew many times on that route because the sky was always colorful during winters!!!I am really surprised that your FSX is showing wrong sky for this flight.Also, I am afraid you were using wrong route from PASC to PANC but does not matter. It is all good fun!!! SmilingAharon
March 13, 201214 yr what a shame that you used the ifly737, IMHO you should try the ngx! RoyalSkies.CO.UK Youtube Vidz !My website will be back soon with new paints and videos!

March 13, 201214 yr Author Thanks :( Also, I am afraid you were using wrong route from PASC to PANC but does not matterWhat makes you think this route was "wrong"? Usually there is no "right route" for a flight as they always depend on weather and other external influences. The route comes from a reliable flight planning software that gives me great results most of the time. If you take a look at flightaware.com or other sources you will find that there are indeed different routings flown on the flights from Deadhorse to Anchorage every flight. But you're right, it's a nice flight in a very remote part of the world.what a shame that you used the ifly737, IMHO you should try the ngx!I'm afraid I can't fly the NGX in my FS9. This is all unedited FS9, but it seems my fresh installation really worked wonders if you guys think it's FSX :(
March 13, 201214 yr HelloHard to use the NGX in FS9 though, In my opinion the i-fly looks great, and I have both the NGX and i-fly.

March 13, 201214 yr Terrific atmosphere again, Max, and your choice of ride is okay with me! :( John G.
