Hey Fellow Freight Drivers,
Nice clouds over Victoria Harbor and Central Hong Kong/Kowloon made this shot possible. PAC948 blasting off 07R at Chek Lap Kok and making the right turn to head out over the South China Sea for the long haul into Snowy Anchorage.
Go Globe or Go Home!

Yep, that's a gorgeous screenshot Rick. You must have a nice video card, and some sweet HK scenery installed

Thanks for the feedback. I built my flight sim rig a couple years ago and really tried to put the best components I could afford at the time. I placed emphasis on video card and processor. For video card, I put in a NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ and it really has worked well. I'm not quite sure how it stacks up to the cards today but I like it and I'm routinely getting frame rates in the 50-60 range or higher even with settings really cranked up. The CPU is a 2.67 gigahertz Intel Core2 Quad Q6700. Again, it was a decent chip when I bought it. FS9 is the sim.
The Hong Kong scenery is From Fly Tampa

Certainly impressive, like to see a Screenie minus the cloud cover.
