A Camel in the Canyon.

Quote from Tom7653

I take too many screenshots in this game..

Nice - no such thing as "too many".

Those of us of a certain age remember the Low Frequency Range. Nothing but A's, N's, a volume control and the cone of silence. It actually got you there. On my instrument check ride in '69, I was required to make an audio only approach to the Anchorage LFR - what a scream, I passed.

I've had the Saitek X52 for going on ten faultless years. As an old stick and rudder man, it feels comfortable and familiar with the separate throttle BUT it has weak areas. The X52 stick has a single spring for axis control - fairly wobbly and it induces a bit of overcontrol, especially in pitch but that can dampened easily with a bit of memory foam. The Pro version adds a 25 cent spring for an additional several dollars.

As a bit of a screenshot frantic (fanatic), I'd like to see a "free camera" view - similar to that on xplane. If nothing else, to get away from the plane.

Nice paint.

Pikes Peak - overlooks Colorado Springs, CO.

Just east of Glenwood Springs, CO.

In a previous life, I owned a C140 then a PA16 then a C120 finally a PA20. Anything with a tailwheel would be just dandy.

Lightning over the valley (death).

A couple from Omak, WA - very nice scenery.

Much as I like the VR concept, I'd hate to see Aerofly FS2 become mainly a niche simulator for VR equipment owners.

Just had my cataracts removed and 'young man's lenses' inserted - talk about VR .

Got it from Orbx - $13.98 sale ends 12/31.

A little 'Jungmeister' from Aspen.

Found my little Bücker - parked in Telluride CO.

Thanks for the reponse yet all I see in 'Steam' is the announcement "Prepare for landing". My game, however, says "version 2.0.7.5 (20171125) but no little Bücker.

Is it just me or has Steam come up with the latest "Prepare for landing update" with the Jungmeister included?

Canyonlands - Utah. Not the big attention getter like Monument Valley or Grand Canyon but worth a look, so I went.

Departed Grand Junction, CO - a quick trip (235 mag) in the Baron.

The view was so good, I entered a holding pattern and, camera in hand, stepped out.

At no time was saturation or vibrance injected.

This really makes other sim scenery look fairly ho-hum.

Colorful Colorado.

Rocky Mountain airport - used to be Jefferson County - graduated high school in Jefferson County.

Front range of the Rocky Mountains - about 10500' here.

Denver and surrounding neighborhoods - a lot of acreage.

Had a similar thing not far back and the wisdom was to make sure I had the latest version. To insure that be sure to select (in STEAM) "public beta" after you right click on 'Aerofly' then click properties.

Brilliant!
