You have some beautiful shots, I really like No. 5 and 6. I recognize Diamond Head in one shot.  |

Thanks for the comments. If anyone was wondering my computer's specs are:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Socket AM2
Video Card:Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT
Motherboard: ASUS M2R32-MVP
Power Supply: Antec Smart Power 500
Memory: Corsair XMS2 DDR2 2 GB (macthed pair 2x1024)
and:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 4000+ Socket 939

I used the second computer to take these pictures. Just yesterday I installed FSX on the first computer.
I plan on taking new pictures with my newer machine (the first one mentioned). When I upload them should I use the current topic or create a new one?
Again thanks for the nice comments. Feel free to comment

P.S. Sorry if you con't see my 737 in the volcano picture (picture 5) it was really dark. And also on picture #9 (the one with my 737 and all the AI aircraft) do you notice the area where the jetway is connected to the building is a translucent blue? The jetway I am refering to is the one connected to my 737(the blue one). The entire bottom of that terminal is like that. Does anyone else notice this? Is this a bug? Thanks in advance. |

I now have new pictures from my new machine. This is before I installed SP1.
Flying too close to a cruise ship and found some birds .
This is an AI aircraft's jetway. It looks broken to me.
This is a picture from multiplayer. I was paused above the runway and took this picture.
This is a time I was just playing around.
More pictures next time. Maybe some from Hawaii .

Here's a new picture from multiplayer. This time I had SP1 installed. I have found some settings where I can get a consistent 20 FPS which is near "Medium Hgh" and "High". Most are custom settings. In multiplayer I was getting a constant 20-30 FPS.
Now for the picture:
I went to San Jose (KSJC) from San Francisco (KSFO). If you happen to see a multiplayer session called SF Free Flight it is likely to be me. If you want to fly with me in FSX my user account is ollyau.
I didn't make it really clear that this was taken from my newer machine. Thanks again for the comments. Please still feel free to comment.

P.S. Sorry no Hawaii pictures yet. I have MegaScenery installed on my older machine and not on this one. What machine do you think I should use? |

| I would use it on your new machine. Are these pics with SP1? I dont think your passengers are very happy flying with the one with the cruise ship. |

| I had said: "This time I had SP1 installed.". Do you mean to install MegaScenery on my newer machine and then go there or just go there in my newer machine. |

Sorry I wasnt paying attention. Yes I ment install megascenery on the new machine and then go from there. I would of course still use your old machine to though. I dont know what you are doing with it. Mind giving me the specs to the old machine again? |

No I don't. And I still use the older machine, but just not as much. And from now on most my pictures will be from my newer machine.
Specs for my older machine:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 4000+ Socket 939
Video Card:Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS
Motherboard: MSI K8NGM2
Power Supply: Antec AR300
Memory: 2GB
and if anyone else was wondering my newer and better machine's specs are:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Socket AM2
Video Card:Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT
Motherboard: ASUS M2R32-MVP
Power Supply: Antec Smart Power 500
Memory: Corsair XMS2 DDR2 2 GB (macthed pair 2x1024)
Another picture I took earlier today (newer machine):
This was of my 737 sitting on San Francisco International Airport's (KSFO) Runway 28R. All pictures from now on are from SP1. (including the one before this one and this one). |

More pictures:
My 737 at a jetway at San Francisco International (KSFO)
My (blue) 737 in line wating to take off. (With multiple AI aircraft)
How did this happen? A Boeing 737-800 on an aircraft carrier?
Basically the same picture, but at night.
Edited: 1 last picture I forgot to upload:
Remember the picture of my 737 inverted under the Golden Gate Bridge? Now my 737 landed on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Hope you like these pictures. Sorry I keep delaying the Hawaii pictures. Thanks for all your good comments, and still feel free to comment. |
