February 2, 20206 yr Aharon: Very interesting post, and beautiful pictures of the DC-9, your (HJG) pictures seem to always look better than mine, due to some reason,...(just this week, I was searching for a Varig DC-8 in HJG for my post)... I lived in Columbus, OH, for many years...your account (and places) ring true and brings back good memories...I recall (I-70/i-71) cross-cross (and traffic) was the reason, I always avoided the downtown...🙂...(not sure what has changed there, since)...And, your mention of I-73 is curious...there was no I-73, I can recall, and a bit of search, today, revealed, they have been indeed talking about it, but it has never been built in Ohio, looks like,...i could be wrong...(until I visit Columbus one more time, which I wish to do, for old times sake....) Anyway, back to your post: The last 2 shots (on your extended set) with reflection of the (bright-yellow) plane in the nearby water (i.e. melted snow) looks nice...! Now, two minor questions: You always have impressive (may be exaggerated a bit..🙂...) blowing dust on the runway (snow dust here)...I do like such effects. Is that default FSX? And, how do you fly the route, e.g. here (APE LLONG CIP CFB)...(without CDU, I think)? Create a manual route? [BTW, curious name "APE" for the first waypoint, for Johnstown (Ohio)...recall visiting that town a couple times...]
February 5, 20206 yr Author @P_7878 Thank you very much for your very very very kind words and I am really glad my flight report reminds you of real life experiences.

Whenever I do a flight screenshot report, I always match FSX ground textures to Google Map or Mapquest or any kind of map to identify specific roads, streets, buildings, lakes, rivers, mountains, airports, etc. The highway route number 73 is on Google map that matches to my screenshots On 2/2/2020 at 11:46 AM, P_7878 said: 🙂.🙂...) blowing dust on the runway (snow dust here)...I do like such effects. Is that default FSX? Snow blowing dust effect is by Photoshop editing but however, if you want this feature in your FSX, there is payware addon called something like Immersion that creates FSX generated snow blowing effects On 2/2/2020 at 11:46 AM, P_7878 said: 🙂...🙂And, how do you fly the route, e.g. here (APE LLONG CIP CFB)...(without CDU, I think)? Create a manual route? [BTW, curious name "APE" for the first waypoint, for Johnstown (Ohio)...recall visiting that town a couple times...] When I write waypoints, I use choice of three ways or methods. One is to write by myself. The second method is to use waypoints generated by simbrief website. Third method is to follow waypoints written by real life pilots that you can see on flightaware website. Regarding this flight, I wrote the waypoints by myself. Once again, thank you very much for your very kind words. Regards, Aharon Edited February 5, 20206 yr by Aharon
