Yea, it looks like daelight found the surprise, but apparently he wasn't impressed. I like the idea of a guy in a barrel. Maybe with FS 11.Robert

Geofa, I checked out the downtown Chicago area and saw the smoke. Real nice, especially in that its appearance is keyed to the air temperature so it's even environmentally correct. Thanks for the tip.Robert

You are welcome-lots to discover in this sim!http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg

Where do we take off from to see this?

Take off from Niagara Intl (New York State) and fly west about 6 miles. Find the river, then look for the falls. Make sure your effects sliders (I think water effects) are maxed. Fly low and slow in the Trike.

Niagara falls is one of the easiest FPS region.. you can max the sim out and still get 20ish.. we at least on my specs. but still, very easy on the frames.
