Had fun tonight. Tom, Wedge and I flew through part of Montana into Canada. Tom was in a P-51 while Wedge and I broke out our spitfires. Here's our final lineup (I shoulda taken more pics but I was screwing around with my calibration settings)  Lots of fun tonight doing touch and goes at multiple airports along the way. lol. Just as I had completed my touch and go Tom screamed by in his mustang. Doesn't take long for him to get turned around and up to speed  By the way, here's a pic of the freeware Devil's Tower addon we were talking about. Think it's available at www.simviation.com at the following url: www.simviation.com/fs2004scenery38.htm Worth getting if you've ever tried finding Devil's Tower on default scenery (it looks more like a mound) Prof K. |

It was a great time with the Professor and Wedge (these guys are easy to sneak up on ;D ;D ;D ;D). Of course, we all exchanged turns at riding each other's six. A very enjoyable flight. I would have taken more shots, but was having so much fun flying, I didn't realize I'd packed my camera until after I had landed. Here's me after landing, with Wedge shortly after touchdown, and Prof. K. high above...  Prof. K. on a low, high-speed pass...  Wedge & I lined up with Prof. K. standing on the brakes...  The MP trio after completing the trip...  BTW... Thanks Wedge for the Devil's Tower link. Also, your mountain scenery looks great compared to the stock FS stuff. I'll have to check out FS Genesis. |

I really got to get one of those screenshot programs. Manual "print screen" and paste to photoshop kinda doesn't work so well when following terrain closely. Prof K. P.S. I tried finding devils tower without looking on a Wyoming map one day (deliberately) but didn't know about the above scenery install and flew over it about 5 times. |

Prof. K
Some of us use Screenshot Manager - a freebie. You just load it in, pick the file prefix you want to use, and then click the "Print Screen" key to take the screenshot. It writes each shot into a folder as you take them.
I can't recall where I downloaded it from, but will try to find out.
