B L U E (FSX)

Aircraft: F-16B / Edwards AFB
Location: Concrete, Washington, USA
Hardware: QX6700 8800GTX
Software: FSX (Flight Simulator)
TileProxy, TrackIR


I think we all have come to realize that the FSX standard scenery is just no longer palatable. I continue to be fascinated by the unpredictability, beauty, and realism that TileProxy brings to the flight sim experience. For me, TileProxy has solved the problem of simulating the surface of the Earth that Microsoft could just not envision. Unfortunately, FSX continues to lack the ability to model light and atmospheric conditions in a way convincing to the eye. In reality, a clear day is never really as clear as FSX wants us to accept. Where is the haze and refractions of light that we take for granted in our atmosphere? In this video, I moderately use subtle color filters to emphasize the haze of sky and hues of Earth. Despite my efforts to create an realistic vision of a flight through central Washington State, I think the eye cannot really be fooled... but you can be the judge.

This tune came into my mind as I went hiking the other day. I'm proud to call this place home. :-)

Hi there. Sure I can send you the soundtrack, but I no longer have a website from which you can download it. Send me an email on Youtube with your email address and I will send it to you. Take care - Morgan

Thanks, but I am not sure what you are trying to say by, "Expand Your Horizon". If you are encouraging me to try new things... All I can say is that I am trying my best. I encourage you to view some of my other videos... they are all quite different.

@penneyfour I wonder if this is the same F-16 that the FSX Thunderbirds use then. Anyway, I understand the problem you seem to have had with the Aerosoft F-16, I had it installed on my old computer and it handled it like a dying computer. I then got my gaming computer and it works perfectly. Expand You Horizon!

Thanks. This isn't the IRIS F-16, it is the original Kirk Olsson F-16 for FS9. I understand your desire to mention the Aerosoft F-16, I purchased it, but soon deleted it. The low frame rates it caused on my machine made flying tedious and formation flight impossible. Take care - Morgan
