That's Dino Cattaneo's F-14-D in the first 4 screens, have I said that that's a freeware? Well, it is!
And the 5th it's a C-130 and the Luce(=Light in italian) plugin filter for Photoshop...well, a little more than that.

Here's more:

Sorry, at first I didn't understand what you said and didn't really saw the screenshot. Are the trees just taller? It's hard to say only from a still shot. I wouldn't mind to test them, when you tell me what autogen you use with it, and how to repair that when I don't like it. So I'm open for it.

Check out the size of X-Plane with all the scenery discs installed.

He-he well, I was still thinking the trees are too big - I'll have to park next to some conifers and see.

musman - that’s pretty big for a single product, bigger than my FSX folder with FTX and AC's - excluding my separate photoscenery - which is currently 44gb [total FSX drive used is 118gb] - considering how big it is, X Plane should look amazing, but I've yet to see anything wow me... be nice to see some screens though

Any thoughts on orbx's plans - extending out from PNW, other regions and their aircraft? - I must say it all sounds good to me. The little glimpse of their vc looks encouraging, the gauges look very good.

It's bay far the biggest game I have installed. Nothing wows me about X-Plane either. I have been very disappointed in it as I have said before. It seems to be far less accurate than FSX also. Flying in Detroit over Grosse Isle (Grosse Isle is an island on the Detroit River) the island is connected to Detroit by land. I have noticed this several times in other locations also. Another thing that is annoying is the scenery repeats a lot. I keep seeing Ikea stores and the same football stadiums all over the place. You can see how it just repeats the same blocks over and over again.

I can take and post some screen shots one of these days for you.

SJA06, give me some locations that you want me to take some screen shots in X-Plane and I will post them.

Well, anywhere will do really.

But, how about Seattle for a city [maybe some of the rural areas around there too], and Scotland - north of Glasgow [Highlands] to see what it makes of that.

Hey guys

Sorry to tell you that i wont be around for a little while,I got myself into a little finacle trouble and have been forced to sell a few items (inc my gaming PC)to pay some outstanding debts that need to be paid quickly less they mount up,its mainly due to a service contract had that id banked on getting but due to the current economic climate the company it was with have just gone out of bussiness leaving me a little out of pocket.....i could have sold other items like my guitars and tools to cover the cost but those items are a little more personal and harder to replace than a box of PC components i havent been gaming or simming much anyhows these past few months so im not going to miss it that much (im sure you know thats a lie )

Anyhows Ive kept my main HDD with all the stuff i worked on for FSX so that beaver HD will get finished when im back online later on this year ive already sunk tomany man hours into it just just give it up or pass it on

So its fairwell for now but not goodbye Catch you all in a few months

Peace
Steve

Steve, sorry to hear about your money woes, its an uncertain world for everyone at the moment... I have to think twice about everything I get at the moment - I've even ditched my credit card as it makes spending money you don't have too easy… debit cards and PayPal only now.

Certainly best to be without a PC and other non-personal stuff in the short term, plus it makes a good excuse to invest in the latest kit when the cash rolls back in eh

Hope to see you back in a few months.

Hey guys

Thanks for the kind words there much appreciated

atm i dont expect to have another rig up and running till atleast aug but i think im gonna go for the i5 750/asus p55d/ocz combo for when i do that should be within my buget(& a good way to blow my tax rebate),i dout i'll go for a 480gtx
to go with it as there much to expensive here in the UK atm add to that the power draw/hot/loud limted mutliview options & over all its not a card for me,i'll see what ATI have out come aug also see what prices are like around that time till that time,till then im stuck with a 360 for gaming.... (got given a banned console) i havent consoled gamed since the dreamcast! so that will be a bit strange.....hummm

All the best
Steve
