Figured I'd take a tour around the world and thought that I would share (because it is a screenshots forum). My only concern at this point is making the final stretch home from Hawaii to California in the B24 Liberator that I'm making the tour in. I think that its range is only about 2200 NM's in the B24 and the flight is about 2500 NM's... But I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Leaving my home in Bakersfield


Leaving California's Southern Valley


Let's see that again


How 'bout a look through the glass


First turn in Long Beach, CA (the quality of the scenery needs help!)


How 'bout a close up


Fair weather


Blue sky


Arrival into McCarren INTL


More blue sky


Into the Grand Canyon


Over the Grand Canyon


Descent into Utah


A snowy arrival into Salt Lake City


If your interested, check back as I may post more of my progress[/img]

Its the "Wings of Power" that shockwave put out as an add-on. I'm pretty satisfied with it. All of the gauges and sound work and the paint jobs are good. The only thing that I would change is droppable ordinance. Other than that I would rate it an 8.5 to a 9.

It's not so difficult to fly to hawaii with the plane Wink
Just make sure your RPM's are low so you burn less fuel Wink
Or if it doesnt work get to an high altitude and "dive" the plane with no fuel to the islands Razz
Shouldn't be hard Smile

I was also thinking of flying about 20'-30' off the water to get that "cushion" effect. I don't think that there's 20' waves in MSFSX...
Thanks for the words of advise.
