Not Exactly Flight Simulation but...

It downloads in about 1 minute and runs for 2 :lol:

Works rather well with repeat turned on :)

Excellent! Pity that it couldn't be ported into FS9 - a new attraction for PAMA!! :lol:

...as it is the full ride, it repeats well.

A 2 minute download and it plays for nearly 3 :fly:

That was excellent Peter, one thing I have always hated about these rides is the slooooow climb before the start.....sure glad I watched that before tea otherwise there would have been a very good chance of me chucking up over the keyboard!! :worried:

Regards

One thing that was interesting Nigel, was that running FRAPS dragged down the frame rate. If I ran the simulation without FRAPS running then the frame rate was at times double what you see in that video...So FRAPS does have a fairly heavy overhead to pay *-)

Well, I rather enjoy watching that and will use it as a screensaver on my main monitor...On the second monitor I like to leave the Mig Clock running.

I've got my next flight from McMurdo to NZ planned and ready but I'm just waiting for HWMBO to push off down to her boat...Perhaps tomorrow :lol:

I can just imagine the scene - 'have a nice time dear' and as soon as the car's out the drive, Peter legging it up the stairs in best 'Scramble' technique... :lol:
