1. Is that a screen cap
Edited on Tue Jul-29-08 09:37 PM by jasonc
from some game you are using as a desktop image?

edit to keep the supposed theme going, an older screenshot with a screen cap of me playing Falcon 4.0 as a desktop image.

3. Yep - screen cap from Flight Simulator X...
It's fun to fly near bridges - try looking down at it from above and you wouldn't get to see the cool lighting detail on the bridge. Though I do have a couple caps of the sky which are cool... With DirectX10, while not the advertisement vaporware Microsoft hooked us in with (I saw the demo screenshot with the trees - reality wasn't as sumptuous), it's still very impressive with 3D lighting and shadows (I could spend an hour at dusk just flying in the clouds...).

I also have Falcon 4.0... :)

4. I also have FSX
Edited on Tue Jul-29-08 10:02 PM by jasonc
It is fun.

I think a lot of the kids playing the combat sims need to play FSX and learn some basic flying skills, such as, ohh, navigating...

:shakes head...:

:P

maybe we can settle this mac v pc debate in the skies, mano v mano...:rofl:

Here is a small video of me in flight.

I took this picture last weekend while sailing on Lake Superior -- it was dead calm one morning so I got a few nice shots of the water.

6. MG Jr. at Universal in Florida last November


He loves to look at this photo of himself--hee. Not that he's egotistical or anything.
