Lovely shots Frank. :hrmm: Your system seems to run FSX rather well! :hrmm:

Looks like I missed my chance for flying in the Caribbean, I just formatted/re-installed windows and it's taking a while to re-install everything. ;)

Whoa Frank!  Excellent work!

Your screenshots are very nice.  The angles are dynamic and something to look up to.
Oh yeah, and you are right, the paint isn't that bad either  :hrmm:

Absolutely - lets do it!  Considering it's going to drop back in to the 20s this week, I am all for warmer destinations.

I will be out next week so you guys will have to hold down the fort!

Great shots Frank!

Just to give you guys the heads up, Volume 3 of my scenery covers Martinique and will be out hopefully in the next two weeks or so. Volume 4 covers Guardeloupe - so both these featured islands will be covered hopefully very soon.
