Mission : FADN – FAVG night, Jetranger

As promised, here are a few screenshots from my friend who has enhanced scenery.

Firstly, compare the Golden Mile with the photo above

The now defunct Durban International Airport

Durban harbor

Umgeni river

Virginia airport

Thanks for the you tube tip 😀 I’ll hunt around there…

27vet,

I think people use fraps though that can be choppy depending on your set up. Worth having a look on YouTube to ask/see what they are using?

Looking good, I enjoyed FS2004 with photo scenery as I could spot my folks house.

FSX is fun but limited for me due to Laptop specs …. Still getting a good 30fps though on mid settings.

Here is the real “Golden Mile” with the world cup soccer stadium in the background. A friend of mine has much better enhanced scenery of South Africa and most of the real buildings show uo. I’ll see if he will send me a screenshot.

Final at FAVG

Mission accomplished.

For comparison, here is a Bell UH-1, North America scenery

I have a few issues though, my machine seems slower than before (even with two screens). I’m on Windows 7 so there is an auto defrag once a week or so, therefore that isn’t the problem. I always do a restart before running flightsim X. No other programs are running.

Does anyone know how to do a video of a FSX flight? (The built in video in FSX is useless). I’ve heard of Thraps or Fraps, something like that.

Approaching harbor…

In real life at the Durban port, Pilots are transferred to ships by helicopter
