Dinard/St Malo scenery

Link: avsim.com

Vauchez has designed this scenery of Dinard/St Malo which claims to be a great scenery and on the edge of what can be done with reasonable frame rates within fs9.

And after trying it out I can only agree with the statement, the frame rates are great, the scenery is very pretty, especially when you overfly the nearby town. Great work!

Funny Cessna 172

Link: flightsim.com

A very cool repaint of the Cessna 172SP Skyhawk into St Marteen colors.

There are some really cool repaints out there, I like a brown version of the default 172 that I unfortunately can't find my way back to where I downloaded. But if you have any tips on cool repaints please go ahead and post them in the comments.

Passed the Captains Checkride

Link: www.aavirtual.com/

One of the VA's I belong to is American Airlines Virtual and it is a very nice one indeed. Among other things they have a cool screening process with a checkride when you join and one as you move up in the ranks. I've completed my 150 hours last week and was eligible for the Captains checkride. After a challenging flight all by hand from Dallas-Forth Worth to Houston that took me 1.3 hours, made a SID, three loops in a holding pattern, a descent with altitude and speed restrictions along the STAR, and an ILS approach and then it was finally done.

I did pass and felt really, really glad about it! It felt great and is one of those things I will remember for a long time as a proof of my ability in the flightsimming world!
