FSX Southwest Airlines San Francisco to Denver



Here is my much labored project for creating a flight video in FSX.  As far as I'm concerned, I think I really need a better graphics card, since that scenery in Denver is well...nothing.  All I see are mountains in the distance, and the runway.  Auto-generated scenery should do the trick, and if not, I can always try to search for add on scenery.

As for the music, I found Kevin MacLeod's Sunshine, which he released under a Creative Commons Attribution License 3.0, meaning I don't have to use my own music (which doesn't really fit) or deal with the issues of using copyrighted music.

One little trick I managed to discover in making transitions is to slow down the fading.  Basically I never thought about the possibility of a transition that takes 3-4 seconds to fade in a new image, that has shifted a bit from it's starting position.  This is seen at 3:06-3:09 in this video.
