Some Flight Simulator X Screenshots

These are some of the pictures that I have took in Flight Simulator X and consider good.

Flight around SFO and found some birds


Flying inverted under the Golden Gate Bridge.


An AI aircraft taking off with it's cargo doors open!


Me making one of my good landings at SFO.


Me flying way too close to the Kilauea, Hawaii volcano!

Landing at Honolulu.

Please comment with your thoughts. Hope you enjoy and like these FSX pictures!

I bet your Pax were impressed with you stunt under the bridge

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

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Socket AM2
Video Card:Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT
Motherboard: ASUS M2R32-MVP
Power Supply: Antec Smart Power 500

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.

Nice pics. I would go ahead and just use this topic.

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 .

Stunning shots! Well done Ollyau!

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).

You made some very nice shots. Great job

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.

Lol at the bottom 3 pictures.

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.

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

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 .


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.

Well done Ollyau! Very nice and calm pics. Keep'em comin'

hehe the jet on the bridge is awesome, great shot!

Got some more pictures for you all!


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! . 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.

I have one screenshot of my virtual trip from SFO to SEA I forgot to upload:

From the cockpit looking toward the sunset.

Thanks for the good comments and feel free to comment again.

Orion

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

you say the what you consider good. i wouldnt consider you landing on a bridge any good or upside down.

i can here passangers now.

yeah that was a good roll.

"where are we now" on the bridge not long now.



lol

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

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
