This is a great screenshot, John. Low visibility, MVFR flights like this are my favorite ones to see.

Pretty cold and overcast over Reno today!

Apologies if your are particularly religious, I think I've found the new Holy Trinity - The Rex, The Mentor and the Reno ;D

Darned traffic on the way home!

Awesome pics, Sir Simon!  ;D

Assuming you're flying with real weather? Reno has been getting a lot of clouds from the same storm systems that have been causing all the rain and flooding in southern California. I love BKN/OVC screenshots! Thanks for posting these!

Looks like you're having fun and found a great combo with the mentor. That's a very appropriate aircraft to fly since the famous Reno Air Races are held there and attract a lot of highly modified warbirds.

As a fan of GT, the air races are the world's fastest motorsport!

These air races are held at none other than Reno-Stead field!

The Texan II T6, by Raytheon Beechcraft.

Somebody was asking about other Texans available...

Flys fast and shoots fire from it's nostrils.  Oh yeah, there is another!

The Javelin lets me cover more of Reno quicker!

Wow - you'll be over Reno in a heartbeat with that plane, Simon!

Just what are these farms? or crop circles?!

Assuming you're asking a serious question, ;D those are irrigation pivots; huge irrigation systems that have a pivot in the center of a circular field. Here's a shot from the state of Washington scenery:

You'll see a lot more of these in the NorCal scenery, too.

I've been flying a new fun approach I made up today. It was pretty tricky, but anything is possible with the Sundowner.

I actually did a grass landing in a Sundowner after my first few lessons about 13 years ago.  Scared the living crap out of me when the instructor did it first, but wasn't so bad after that.

It had a bug for quite some time and wouldn't work with XP9.62. It's fixed. Try again. Setup is easy and it is totally worth the effort and money. You have all US charts (VFR, IFR, TAC, Airport Layouts, Approaches....), metar, and even a basic flight planner.
