September 9, 201213 yr I've spent the last month tweaking and optimising FSX after trying the DX10 shader mods and am finally very happy with the results. I've decided to take a virtual tour of the Greek Islands in my JF PA28 Warrior. I plan to do a similar "real life" tour in a couple of years so it was a good excuse to try the journey in the flight sim first. No FMCs, no autopilots, no GPS. Just maps, compass and a good supply of pens were used in the making of these screenshots. Believe me it's much more fun that way Scenery is courtesy of UTX Europe and extra details downloaded from various freeware authors from the excellent http://www.freewares...ry.com/fsx.html website. Weather/water textures by REX E. Weather engine by FSrealWX lite - a brilliant and FREE weather engine from http://www.hanse-cod...?page=self&id=1 PA28 Warrior by Just Flight Flying Club X series. Frames were locked at 30fps. No Nvidia Inspector just the inbuilt FSX settings. I kept it simple and it's working great for me now. I can max out everything and finally have a smooth FS experience! First leg of my trip is from Sitia on the island of Crete to Karpathos. Real time weather was a bit iffy today. Strong winds from the NW at 20-30kts with cloud for most of the journey at around 2500-3000 ft. Hope you like the pix. I'll post some prettier ones when the weather is better!

September 9, 201213 yr Hi! Many thanks for the pics and links too. That weather program looks great and maybe what I need sometimes. Look forward to more pics of the Greek Islands! Many thanks, Pierre
