I need a screenshot of a DC-10 at night with all its lights on, except nosewheel light, at about the 11 O'clock position, one mile and a half away, traveling left to right, 1300 feet above, 6 miles visibility

from the viewpoint of a Cessna Caravan

can anyone help?

Could you be more specific? Laughing

Seriously, I'd love to do this for you - I have a great looking American Airlines old school DC-10 (FFX?) but my (insert computer cussword here) machine is currently awaiting a motherboard swap. How soon do you need it?

(I'm also guessing that as I type, someone else is putting the final touches on one now)

That would be great!!

yesterday!!

I actually did a test, where I took off in a 737 and then did a spot plane view but I couldn't get over 6000 feet away and I don't know how to position it to be 1300 feet below the 737 at 11 o clock to it. I would imagine if I could figure this out, all I would need to do is a print screen??

this is kinda important....to me

I am on dial up, does it take along time to download a -10??

Why not use one of the camera angle utilities out there? They allow you to set the position of the tower view for all that nifty fly-by stuff.

I have a utility that came with the 737 PIC payware package from Feelthere/Wilco. I think it's called FSView or something like that. You can use the mouse to position your view pretty much anywhere, inside or outside the plane. I'm sure there are plenty of other view utilities out there.

The Search the libs for DC-10 - if my machine was working, I could confirm the exact model. Ah! Wait! I uploaded a pic of the plane in the screenshot gallery - here it is:

Like I said, my machine is down for at least a week. Maybe someone else can come through sooner. It's the FFX DC-10 model - may be for FS2002, but runs great in FS9.
