Not strictly an EHM flight, but...
« on: February 05, 2006, 08:29:55 pm »
My FSP VA is called EHM Tours...

Anyway, a screenshot from my last batch of IVAO VFR World Tour legs (now finished, thankfully), for those of you that don't have ActiveSky (yet...) Features my FSP Mooney Bravo at FL55 above the Greek Islands (N37 34 25 E24 33 20 to be precise) on my way to Samos at a little before sunset - I had to "adjust" the time in FS Realtime just after taking this shot in fact. You can see ActiveRadar open onscreen as well, and yes, there is a thunderstorm not that far away (just over Samos, as it happened)

Hehehe... like I said, that's just the start of what was a pretty huge storm over NW Greece and Turkey! The tail-end of it was sat over Samos (LGSM).

Regarding prettiness, a fairly high-end graphic card (nVidia 6800 GT AGP) , everything turned up to "11", locked at 25fps* running at 1280x1024 with quincunz (sp?) AA turned on (plus ActiveSky v6 and the UK2000 replacement global water texture).

* For those that don't understand FS200X graphic engine, it does a lot of it's math assuming 25fps and using the CPU! If you have a reasonably pipe-hitting card that's capable of over 25fps (I can get between 50 and 90 if I let it) lock it at 25fps and you'll free your CPU up a bucket load to pre-render a lot of the graphics!
