This is a shot of one of my first flights since our relaunch. I was flying from EGLL-EGHD and took this over EGKK on my way to the Mayfield VOR.
Great flight and good to be back.

Is that the standard FS2004 scenery or do you have some kind of add on, because like Jonathan says it looks so realistic. Good timing too with that airport seen in the gap in the clouds.

These shots were taken on my first Class 4 flight with a Fokker 70 from Heathrow to Copenhagen.
Off all aircraft I've flown till now, I like the F70 the most.

This is the VFR scenery for the UK. The South East version you see costs about 17.99UKP now. It is based on the mileenium map so it overlays photographs onto the mesh and provides superbly realistic flying. You can identify individual buildings such as where you live or work. Better still you can make proper VFR flights.
Glad you liked the shot - it worked for me too peeping down through the clouds.
BTW mesh is from LAGO and is quite cheap and well worth the money. I think I'll soon expand and buy some of their terramesh for Europe.

Great shots, both of you...
I am still grounded 'cause I have to return B747 from Sydney, but don't have the license any more.
And ferry is very slow...

The Fokker 70's great, but I don't like it as much as I did when it was first released.

Why not gizmo?  I prefer it to all the other class 4 planes.  I suppose everyone's different though!

Hi Guys

The Cs1 319 has been released, any chance that she'll be painted up in our scheme in the near future
