October 5, 201312 yr Great shots. This beauty--and this livery in particular--is a work of art inside and out and has become my new favorite. I did a flight from KGJT to KSLC last night and during the final on runway 34L I had the most intense "suspension of disbelief" experience I've ever had with FSX. A gentle crosswind that I could both hear and feel, the perfect ambience of the instrumentation lighting and windshield reflections, the way the landing lights lit up the asphalt as I crossed the threshold and the gentle bump and squeak of the tires as I touched down...I know it sounds silly, but it was was almost religious. It's amazing how much the sounds amplify and bring a sense of immediacy to the whole experience. I thought it was impossible to top the Lancair, but RealAir has done just that. I don't know how they could top this. Richard P. Kelly

October 10, 201312 yr Hey I bought a Duke just like that ... some guy on the internet sold it to me. I like the mix of trees in #2, is that fairly accurate for the area?
October 10, 201312 yr Author Hey I bought a Duke just like that ... some guy on the internet sold it to me. I like the mix of trees in #2, is that fairly accurate for the area? Relatively speaking, yes. In reality, there is a bit more asphalt, a couple of shopping centers, and homes to the east (as in the image), but that is reasonably accurate in terms of trees at this time of year. I suspect the imagery used to create this was not up to date, as it does not reflect those. However, the first image, which shows the reservoir, bridge and the road heading toward the airport (Earlysville Road) is accurate and very much VFR landmarks for those familiar with the approach to CHO RWY 3.
