American Airlines Virtual

I flew this flight in an A2A B377 American Overseas Airlines Prop. It took several hours. This was the first use of the new version of P3Dv3.2 . I have removed MSFSX and earlier versions of the P3D from my computer. I really looks good and performs well.

Thank You for looking.

Appallingly fake!

The shaders and graphics in general in P3D are way better than FS. Dovetail better bring their A game with their new sim.

In FSX one cannot change the look of the graphics. Even if you adjust your monitor to your liking the screen shots are all stock graphic settings. Without photoshop or the like programs they always look washed out and flat.

LM P3D lets you adjust the HD lighting for the sim and that is recorded in a screen shot.

Like I said before, my graphics for the P3DV3 use REX graphics and are tuned the way I like them. This then shows up in the screenshots.

I also use all the ORBX products for the P3DV3 and they are Tony the tiger GRRREAT. I have EU landclass scenery for the whole Western Europe to the tip of Italy for these last shots.

Great, great shots Wayne. Thanks for posting.

I too use Orbx scenery and Rex sky textures on FSX and they are great. I was never able to get the screenshots that Wayne gets but I thought it was because he's spent the time to tweek his settings and I didn't. But maybe it is as Wayne says. Anyway, Orbx North America and Global provides get textures and Rex gives me good sky and clouds.

Here are some shots from my theme flight. I had more of a hazy day instead of the clear weather Wayne had.

....continuing my flight...

....final shots.
Hope you enjoyed the journey.
