HAHA: Forget when the Bay Bridge burned and collapsed a few weeks ago...

(News Reporter) "We now go live from San Franciscos Golden Gate Bridge where a 737 seems to have landed on the bridge itself. Several cars plunged to a watery mess trying to get out of this large birds way! We are still unclear as to why the pilot landed on the bridge, but as he was being interviewed by emergency personell, he was reportedly shouting "It wasnt me, it was the Leprechaun! He made me do it, he made me do it, he made me do it" - at this point, the pilot appeared to make bunny ears with his fingers behind his head, and bounced off down the bridge. Police are still trying to coax the man off the side of the bridge.

Nice shots! Odd locations to take your 737. Smile

Sorry I don't really have anything new, well for the exception for this:

Me flying the "Secret Shuttle" mission.

I have been busy. Maybe another update this weekend. Again thanks for the good comments and feel free to still comment.

Try and see if you can get a good shot of the UFO before it zooms by Smile

I think I was flying a too high to see the UFO. I did see the UFO that comes by during landing, though.

One picture from an even older machine. You probably don't want to know the specs. The specs are not so good for a FSX machine. This picture is not with SP1 (I took it a long time ago). Well here you go:

My 737 at a really high altiude (space)

That's it for now. Thanks for the comments and I might post later today too.

I'm back! I have some pictures of a flight I made yesterday from San Francisco to Seattle.

After takeoff from SFO

In flight

Passing a mountain

An outside view from sunset.

Seattle tower has N737OL in sight (probably not accurate ATC I just made it up)

Landing! I made it Smile

.

At the gate unloading passengers.

I upgraded my computer with the following specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Socket AM2
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT
Motherboard: ASUS M2R32-MVP
Memory: Corsair XMS2 DDR2 2 GB (matched pair 2x1024)

I was getting 15-25 FPS on the ground and 25-30 FPS crusing. I had set the frame rate lock at 30. I have and had the weather on "High" and Aircraft at "Medium High". All the other settings are on "Custom" and they are somewhere around "Medium High" or "High".

Hope you like these pictures! Feel free to comment.

Got some more pictures for you all! Smile

Me flying one of the "Beginner" missions. I don't remember the title right now. A little story I have about that mission: I was using the autopilot to fly this mission most of the time, but when I came to land I disengaged the autopilot master switch (z) but I forgot to disengage the autothrottle! Embarassed

. I had the autothrottle set at 180 knots so I made it onto the runway, but I overshot it because I had the autothrottle on. Well that's it for my little side story and now for the next screenshot:

My using the floatplane (is it called the dehaviland beaver?) in FSX. I inverted it just skimming above Lake Tahoe. Inverting my airplanes seems to be a tradition right?

Well that's it for now! Thanks for the nice comments and feel free to comment!

Second one's a blast. Looks like there's a plane under water. Very Happy

Every shot made during sunset or sunrise is fabilous for its colors and shades, so is this one. Nice shot! Cool

I meant good pictures, not necessarily good places for an airplane. More pictures coming this weekend! Wink

A new picture that I took on a flight from San Francisco to Seattle.

At the gate unloading baggage and people after a flight.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I will have even more pictures later. Feel free to comment
