please tell us wich addons you use
I had one of those moments yesterday. I was flying Brian Gladden's Cessna 140 Float plane around Alaska, going over some mountains, and the scenery was just amazing. The sun was sitting over the peaks, the sky color was just right. Rhumbafloppy's new world mesh had the terrain looking very very good. I took about a dozen screen shots, but can not attach them.

I'm glad to see someone enjoying somthing I made nearly seven years ago!Originally Posted by OBIO
The 140 was only the second plane I made with a real VC and the first with windows cut out by hand rather than square one's made by manipulation polys (Norseman)

You can't take the sky from me...
Thanks for sharing your FS enjoyment - that's what it's all about! Mike

I am enjoying every single one of your planes that I have downloaded. I haven't gotten them all yet, but will! I have to spend some time with the ones I already have before I distract myself with the rest.
Although the Cessna 140 is 7 years old, it is brand new to me since I just got FS2004 for Christmas this last year. Prior to that I had CFS2 for 2 or 3 years, prior to that I had CFS3 for 3 years but could never get it to run right and feel like anything but an arcade game.

nice shots, heres a couple from me that gave me the same "wow" effect, taken last night testing the Agusta 109 repaint of the chopper from the TV Show 'Ultimate Force'
hope you all enjoy looking at them as much as i do
Here's a favorite of mine...a morning flight over Cape Cod.....

Thanks! I use Active Sky for clouds and sky and weather. GePro for the ground. Clouds are the 512x512 textures, and 100 3d clouds. In AS I do not limit the layers, I extend the T-storm limits, favor cumlulos vs stratus, and force lowest ceiling.
nice! i use a mix of real environment pro, and a fair few other add-ons/ins... and just to add that night time touch i also use Shockwaves 3D Lights Redux just makes it that much nicer
I find AS6s clouds just more realistic looking....
Those Shots are awsome, can't resist to join, active sky and GEpro is a really good combination.

Those moments are great aren't they?
You'll just be cruising along, and suddenly, Wham!
You get it when you're physically out in nature, it's amazing you can get it on a 2d electronic collection of pixels.
AS must be the only addon I don't have, the screens are so consistently good it really looks like a must-have.
Does it co-exist with GE Pro?
not even i have AS, mine are from a file i've now forgotten the name ofwill get digging.... yeah AS worth getting just on the basis of textures etc...?
I have to admit, I've had a few of those moments using AS and REPro, they really are wow moments. This is what I love about FS2004...despite the built-in wow factor of FSX, the old sim has a lot of life left in it. Thanks for posting.
Here are a few that I enjoyed (Shockwave 3d lights here too):

To me, good scenery is as important as a well-sim'd aircraft and having added Christian Stock's freebie 75m Red Baron New Zealand mesh (sadly no longer available) and NZ Landclass changed the character of the sim for me. I own a payware mesh/landclass/scenery package for Canada (my homeland), but Christian's NZ mesh quickly made flying around New Zealand a real treat, especially the way he handles the lighting of distant hills in a way that creates some very nice depth and tonality. But most recently I found a photoreal scenery by Robin Corn for the Tongariro-Ngauruhoe Volcanic Complex on the North Island that turned out to be one of the nicest rendered volcanoes I've seen in FS9. While it doesn't erupt like Kilauea does in the sim, the volcanic landforms are very well depicted, including summit pit craters, old lava flows with lobate scarps, and crater lakes. Well worth the add if you're a volcanophile like me:

I look forward to purchasing Christian's 20m mesh and other New Zealand scenery sometime in the future. If this is 75m, the 20 must be terrific.

PS. The aircraft is J. E. Narcizo's nicely done Piper PA-18 Super Cub, with an NZ repaint by me
A totally custom sim!
Traffic Toolbox reports 282 custom AI planes, nice to bump into the national carrier halfway around the world too.
Custom weather, airport, textures for sky, cloud, and ground.
Custom B773, one of the best-looking tubes on the market I reckon.
I just wish POSKY would get the FDE fixed!
One version has you landing on the nosewheel, the next, mushing into a stall at cruise!
But Wow nonetheless, FS9 can do stuff I don't think anyone anticipated, all those years ago.
