Today I decided to give a go to the P-40 and perform some flight. I downloaded and installed ORBX's FTX Global Demo which contains a totally revised Iceland. Both ground textures, autogen, mesh and vector data together with landclass were changed. I grabbed one of the stock paintschemes which depicts P-40 from the US squadron based in Iceland.
My flight took nearly 2 hours. I took off and landed in Reykiavik. After take off I climbed to 13500 feet and started my "patrol" around the island. I flew East, then North and finally turned to the West and returned to base. It was a nice flight with lots of great sightseeing. The FTX Global demo is awesome. I am planning to perform more flights using both this plane and scenery. Here are some shots:
1. After taking off. Reykiavik aerodrome and city in the background. It has a photoreal bacground and some custom landmarks.
2. Climbing in the area.
3. Climbing through the clouds.
4. Note: how beautiful the plane is - both model and the texture. This combined with an outstanding scenery package gives a great effect.
5. Keflavik aerodrome below.
6. Finally some snow!
7. A huuuge, photoreal glacier!
8. Heading North...
9. Getting lower while getting close to the home base. Look how the plane blends into the scenery!
10. Final approach.
11. Close before touchdown.
12. Cold and dark after the flight. It was a successful patrol

Nice screenshots!
I don't own the P-40 but it's definitely on my wish list.
