Sight Seeing over Chattanooga

Ah, Saturday morning and nothing to do but fly (got the yard work done through the week!). After my "crash" last time, I decided to try the Chattanooga flight again but not switch out of the cockpit view. I've not solved the problem, but switching views seems to trigger the error. Here's my (wide screen) view out the cockpit approaching the Tennesse River, about where my last flight ended:

Before turning the south and following the river into town, I glanced to the north to check out the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant:

If you zoom in on this image you can see it out my passenger side window. You can also look at the instruments and see I'm flying at about 2900 feet (about 2000 feet above ground-level).

Heading south we come to the end of the lake and the dam. Again, you have to zoom in to see it, but there's boat traffic on the lake and cars moving across the top of the dam and the highway on either side:

Passing the dam, I discovered a little glitch in the program. In this image you can see that the elevation change between the lake and the river below the dam does not line up with the dam itself, but occurs a little down stream:

As usual. you may have to zoom in on the image to make that out. Also, you should be able to see Watts Bar up-river.

A bit further down, I took this picture of the three bridges in downtown Chattanooga. The one to the left crosses over a little island, that's actually a bird sanctuary (but seems to have houses on it in FSX). The middle bridge is the Walnut Street Bridge, build in 1890 and the now (allegedly) the world's longest pedestrian bridge. The Chattanooga Aquarium should be between the middle and right bridges, but there's no sign of it in FSX (and this is with scenery maxed out, so it's just not there):

Just a bit further down, I took this shot of me over Moccasin Bend, a hairpin turn in the Tennessee River just south of downtown. Lookout Mountain is straight ahead, but after flying over I saw no signs of the Incline Railway, Rock City, or any other local landmarks.

Final shot of the trip shows I-24 snaking up over Missionary Ridge. The roads and mountains at least are modeled accurately. From here I followed I-24 back to I-75 and then I-75 south back to Dalton.

There was some heavy fog at the start of the flight (using real-world weather), but that obviously cleared up by the time I started taking photos. Otherwise, the only problem I had was that some of the controls seemed to reset and start doing other functions during the flight. Particularly, I had mapped the eyepoint movement commands (basically what moves your virtual head around the cockpit) to the buttons on the yoke, but mid-flight when I tried to raise my view higher to see over the "hood", I found the button no longer worked but rather caused a pop-up dialog to appear to adjust some setting or another. I tried using the same command straight from the keyboard and got the same result, so it's not a yoke programming issue, it's that the keystroke got reassigned within FSX during the flight. Not sure how that's possible, but I'll look into it. At least FSX didn't freeze up on me before I could get back on the ground!
