Here are some more interesting pics from FSX. The first one shows I'm clearly having trouble with framerates as they have dipped below 100 fps in this shot. Perhaps more interesting is the water surface which is a combination of Graphics-X (comes in the ActiveSkyX deluxe bundle) and water settings on 2X which is on notch short of full slider setting. Also interesting is the attempt to display moonlight reflecting on the water when the moon is obscured by cloud cover! Anyway here it is:
The next one is just a neat shot of a nearly silhoutted Cessna 172 Skyhawk against backlit surface waves. The shoreline is not very well sculpured out in this part of the FSX world heading for GVSV, Cape Verde. And, yeah, I know you're not supposed to fly over water in a single engine aircraft, but I'm not licensed for a 747.
