Griphos Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I had a tiring week at work so as a mid-week treat, when I got home tonight, I fired up the Bird Dog and took a nice evening flight at Cessnock. Photo-essay follows. Lights of town: Is that a raceway?

Dexter Dog Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Really nice set! Especially the 2nd shot over the track, and the shot "on final". I think twighlights are a highlight with FSX! Birdog looks like a pretty decent 'plane, especially the VC view! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griphos Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 I REALLY like the Bird Dog. It may not have as hyper-realistic a FM as the A2A Cub with Accusim, but it's a very fun bird to fly. Good to great visibility (excellent out the back), excellent VC textures. The little cords on the lamps swing with the g forces (nice touch!). I find myself hopping in it frequently, and I have a number of fun low and slow planes to choose from. And, yes, sunsets since REX have become my very favorite time to fly. Reminds me of when I was taking lessons. I could only fly after school and after work at the local grocery store (had to make money for the lessons) so it was often a late evening affair. Loved the long shadows and calm air.
