Many things are photogenic here.....look at the 2 nice sets of twins.....ON THE AIRCRAFT silly! 😉 Dawn approach, nose in the sun...Sunset Beach bar made famous by so many vids. Here is a shot from the "other" bar. And a cool shot from the balcony of the hotel I hope to stay at one day. This plane is a blast to fly....loving every minute of it.

My fellow simmers. I present to you FSX PocketFlights TNCM. This is a video that I put 3 days of editing into. From 32GB of multiple FRAPS videos of angles edited down to one. With careful consideration of attention spans and research into the mannerisms of YouTubers I created this video. It is the most recent and most beautiful of my FSX PocketFlight Series. FSX PocketFlights TNCMOlder videos show how much I've developed. I made it for you. PC Specs and Add-on Information will be listed in the credits.

For reference, I'm referring to this thread that I posted yesterday: Anybody have any bug spray? My first flight: C152 So I finally got all my controls set up the way I wanted, and took my third flight in the sim today. Now I will preface this by saying that ground handling is terrible. I still think the torque factor on initial power application is ridiculous, although once you're airborne p-factor is fine. And the actual in-flight handling of the 152 seems pretty darn good. It's beautifully modeled. I love the prop effect, looks very realistic. But once you touch down again on landing it's right back to being garbage. But that aside, on my setup (stock 8700K, no OC, GTX1080, 16 GB of "whatever" RAM), the sim runs absolutely wonderfully on Ultra settings in 2K. This is with live weather and live traffic. If you look at the screenshots, the colors are spot on for the Caribbean. The inland water is different from the sea. They have accurately included those kind of wavy lines you see across the water at a distance. The vegetation is mostly spot-on, until you get really close in on landing where there are too many trees (and they're not appropriate for the region). The buildings are absolutely fantastic - correct in size and number, the colors accurately represented. The shorelines are just gorgeous, with the water rolling in. There was a cruise liner in St. Barts when I got there, which is sacrilegious, but we'll ignore that. On the whole they've done an absolutely stunning job. Flying in my favorite region, the Caribbean, is going to be an absolute joy for years to come. Below a few screenshots, and then a video of my first landing in SBH. And this is STOCK SCENERY. Edit: I'll add the video later, the upload is taking a while.- 23 replies

Recently, I was on a flight from TNCM to MYBS. While flying along, enjoying the scenery, for no reason my landing gear deployed at 38,000 feet. By the time I was able to recover the resulting stall/spin, I was at 22,000 feet. (Okay, I was watching a movie at the time and the gear deployed while I wasn't watching the plane)Another time I was on a flight from KMIA to TXKF and the LNAV, RNAV, and A/P disconnected for no reason.Also, when I was flying from KJAX to TNCM, the airplane started rolling gently back and forth for no reason. The PFD showed no deviation.I have witnessed my landing lights turning on/off while the switches are in the off positiion.This only happens when I am flying from/to the Caribbean islands, Bermuda, and Florida.Anyone else noticing any strange behavior in this area?
