Every now and then a post comes along that makes you think of upgrading.

Can i ask of your system specs? Ive got £400 and want to buy a new PC ($800)

OK, for those that want the Mercedes, I found the link again! The Mercedes is an addon for FS that you can download here:

The steering may need a little getting used to but it works great!   You can drive this Mercedes Benz car all over the roads in FS.  I like to take it off road sometimes to see how it handles on rough terrain!    And its funny how you have to keep braking when you're going downhill!  It's especially fun to drive this around Orcas Island or through the streets of NYC with skyscrapers all around and explore the area from the ground!

Simply breath taking scenery!   Awesome! I saw the Al Burj hotel in it's early stages. The foundation was being made at that time.  I believe it may be the most expensive hotel in the world to say in. I was in Dubai when they broke ground (created) ground to build it. But anyway, Those are some awesome shots! FedEx almost gotcha!

awlsome

[Evan321]

Those were spectacular!

But I have two questions:

1. Why did you land in LGA when JFK is for internationals?
2. What is easyjet and KLM doing at LGA?

     Good question! Yep, its funny to see short haul KLM in NY.   I mangled some Ultimate Traffic files or settings some months back, and now I'm even getting Aloha and Hawaiian Airlines planes landing in Moscow!   I haven't had the time to fix it yet, so I'm  just enjoying the amusement of it in the meantime.

La Guardia is an International airport as well, that's why its full name is La Guardia International Airport.   It handles both domestic and international flights.  

You can find out more information on this from their website:

http://www.new-york-lga.com/


On a personal and Flight Sim  level,  I've seen tons of posted shots of flights into JFK, but hardly any into La Guardia, which I think is a great airport, so I chose to do my landing there.   And yes, I know Emirates probably doesn't fly into La Guardia.  And that's the beauty of Flight Simulator.  You can fly wherever you want, whenever you want!

Great shots, but mate la guardia is incapable of handling anything bigger than a 767 ;-) 777 would have crushed the rwys into the ground!

Not according to the FAA and the Port Authority of New York.  La Guardia can accomodate the 777 if needed.

Let me quote from their joint report:

"The purpose of this study was to examine the impact
of the introduction of the Boeing 777 folding wing aircraft
on navaids, operating minimums, air traffic control,
capacity, efficiency, and safety at New York's LaGuardia
Airport (LGA). The Boeing 777 folding-wing aircraft
will be able to operate at LaGuardia Airport with much
the same effect on airport operations as any other “heavy"
aircraft introduced there"

You can download the detailed PDF  from their website.
