The payware tour that took place

A little while ago i did a post about a short payware tour that i did'nt post due to the screenshot size. I did in fact do it and here it is

As the title suggests i thought i'd to a tour purely consisting of payware scenery and aircraft (that's why it's short ). As we know some payware is fantastic and others not so fantastic, but anyway i'm going with what i've got!
I don't think there's a lot of default left in my scenery as the basics will be
FS Global
Flight1 Ground Environment
Zinertek water
Active Sky
So with payware aircraft and scenery there's not a lot of default there .
Anyway i'm boring myself now so we start on the Alphasim USS Enterprise just off Italy with the MAAM SIM TBM Avenger for the flight to Malta (Aerosoft i think).



































Thank you for looking.

The next leg is from Malta in the Feelthere/Wilco 737-300 to the Superb Mallorca X from Aerosoft for FS2004 and FSX (you get both for the one price )

It's time to make the jump across the pond, i'd been wondering how to do this and had all sorts of ideas like Carrier hopping etc . In the end i settled for something simple but that would get me across pretty fast.

The end of this short tour

Oh my, plenty of inspiration there... It'll take me a few days to formulate my 'criticisms' Watch this space.

I DEMAND a direct link to your computer so that I may hack into it, and steal everything you have! Anything less will force me to kill myself.



I'm jealous ... Art

Tailhook and Art thanks very much, it's members like you two that keep me coming here and with comments like that Art i see no chance of me leaving any time soon , i don't think you'd want a link to my PC, i spend most of my time like this
