Thanks for the encouragement, folks! It's too easy to focus on all the bugs in MSFS (many still not solved), but the eye candy has slowly but steadily improved. Either that, or optimisation has allowed you to use higher settings. You only need to be away from it for a few weeks to appreciate how gorgeous MSFS 2024 *can* look. If only it wasn't such a PITA to use!! ;)

Nice, keep 'em coming. So far I can't quite yet see the quantum leap that we had in, say, FSX to MSFS2020

:rockon: :wub:

If it weren’t for the POI flags, that screen of the lake with the “Wānaka tree” could be a photo. Great stuff from NZA again.

Great post JK... wonderful historic back story.

Not yet AstroRob.

Oh excellent! I missed MCE as I only got the Islander late in the piece.

Good work JK , What a beast they were.

Kearby flew 3 P-47's while in New Guinea. The one depicted here was his first, 42-8145. This aircraft was lost on22 October 1943, while being flown by Lt Ernest Ness. He was captured and executed unfortunately. The second one, also called Fiery Ginger, was 42-75908, which he flew for only a short period, also with the blue tail tip of the 342nd Squadron. The third, confusingly called Fiery Ginger IV, (maybe he flew a first Fiery Ginger while training in the US), was 42-22668, and that had the three stripes in the three squadron colors of the 348th FG that you mean. This was his final...

:thumbup: be careful JK, The group don't like toothy things :ph43r:

Thanks deeknow....all mine are lost as well :angry:

I think that wake turbulence "may" be an issue.. Great shots though.

Legend :rockon:

Thanks Aharon, That banner is just too dark for me on my system.

Adamski and Jankees, Both of you are correct about OZX. That now defunct website introduced me to WONDERFUL repaints of Jankees!!! Without OXZ website, I would not have known about his great repaints. Regards, Aharon

I sometimes wonder how you even know what you've produced! Haha, I don't! I forget about a quarter of them...

JK and Simon , thanks for looking :)

Certainly a nice looking aircraft. I would have thought that it would cruise faster than 150 kts. Sleek, carbon and with retractable gear, I would have thought that it would be around the 170 mark.
