lifejogger Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Oh, I thought you were going to be in Paris, Texas. Great tour of Paris Jack, the shots were excellent and I guess there were no bridges to fly under so you picked the Eiffel tower!!!!! What scenery is that of Paris, it looks to good to be default.

TedRuby Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Good Morning Jack, well you are already early on the way .... great pictures so early from Paris The Pic # 19 is my favourite in your set.... I have not even turned on the news - there flies Jack through the Eifel tower .... great pictures Jack and the yellow effect is always funny .. .. but tell me, did you run out of gas or why did you land on the tracks or did you not get a landing permit from Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle Airport?

shermank Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Nice flight, but sadly, afaik, we have no Paris scenery that includes the beautifully detailed and historic bridges, not to mention the glory of the Hausmann boulevards. Sherm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundancer Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Hello Jack, Ted, A question to you about shots 17 - 20 from this series. From this set, I agree with Ted, that 19 is also my favorite. Why....because either the horizon outside or the cockpit edge is horizontal. But how do I manage to get the outside horizon straight and the cockpit bended (?). I think this is not possible with just the 'v' button. Do I therefore need more advanced camera tools like EzDok or ChasePlane ?

I use Chase Plane and somehow set it up that way. If you get it I can share my settings with you but most are pretty much default. 26 minutes ago, stewart1 said: Fantastic set of shots of Paris Jack and a nice bit of flying in Paris regards stewart Thanks Stewart, glad you enjoyed them.

Sundancer Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Ha ha....well, I'm pretty new in this screenshot forum, but learned already that Jack likes acrobatics and some upside down manoeuvres in particular.

Stillwater Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 It seems to be a cityscape needed for a better demonstration of the famous effect here. The Eiffel Tower surely has seen this in RL already... as well as the Arc d´Triomphe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed the scenery from the above link. It slows my system down to a crawl, so I cannot use it. Also, the secondary autogen add on crashes FSX as soon as I enter the border which the scenery covers a few miles outside of Paris. I had to uninstall that part of it to get the scenery to show up at all. Sherm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted thanks, Ted...yes I am on FSX....my GPU is an Nvidia 760. not OCd....MOBO is an Asus 87Z-A with 8 gigs of ram....not a bad box in its day....and while some scenery pushes FSX beyond its capability, most of the time I am running at 30 fps, fixed...with some slowdowns at crowded airports. But, most of my flying is in and out of smaller fields, so it is otherwise of little consequence. Thanks for the comment about the picture. I snapped it through the window of our shuttle service to CDG one rainy morning as we were leaving Paris. It is completely uretouched. The tint is from the window of the van...and I got lucky with the timing, raindrops, angle etc. Of all the Paris pictures I have ever taken, that one is my favorite.
