Chastized for my slow airspeed  I thought I might do the leg into Madagascar in something a little more scootie... On the climbout from Comoros.  Feet wet.  Descent.  Feet Dry.  Ran into a little storm heading to the airfield.  Deacon

 Uploaded with  Uploaded with Ima[URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/17/20131271672890.jpg/] Uploaded with ImageShack.usgeShack.us[/URL]imageshack.us]ImageShack.us[/URL] With all of the payware that I have, the default Beaver is still one of my favorite airplanes in FSX. I think it's the best one they did. And the cabin is worthy of Carenado, in my opinion.

Yes, Aerosoft's DHC6 Twin Otter. One of the best payware ships in my hangar (IMHO of course.) I am anxiously, but patiently, awaiting the release of their Twin Otter X Extended... Same ship, but done to today's high-fidelity standards.
I find myself flying the current Twin Otter quite often. It is suitable for just about any destination... Tooling around the north woods, or island hopping in the Caribbean. And everywhere in between.

To be honest? OK what the heck
Used the IRIS F-5 as a Tanker in the TacPack then lined up on in SLEW mode. Pressed pause as soon as i was over it (F-5) I'm flying Tomcat.
I tried for about 15 minutes to do it legit with no joy.

Thanks Security_Device, FSX just gets better and better each year. What does OpusFSX do that REX doesn't? REX provides the textures + weather engine that talks to FSX and depicts weather. OpusFSX provides just the weather engine (works with whichever textures are installed) but it's weather engine is really good at depicting realistic weather, especially overcast, fog and rainy conditions (it includes a camera control feature too but I don't use it since I already have EZDOK). So I use the REX textures + OpusFSX weather engine for an awesome combo. OpusFSX has a demo for it if you want to see what it looks like, I did a bunch of tests starting FSX with REX weather engine at a local airport, then comparing that weather to what I see outside, then closing REX Weather engine and starting OpusFSX to inject it's weather and compared, for me especially here in the cloudy PNW, Opus is amazing, you can see it doing it's magic in those screenshots.
