Sometimes you feel a sense of melancholy.

„Glad you like it… there’s a lot to discover in Germany, so better hurry before you end up applying for a visa in Moscow! Haha.“

Nice collection.

Well, the sentence: "We are heading for a bright future is quite ambiguous, not only in German, grin.

Perfect, I love anything in those coastal schemes :thumbup:

BIG, isn't she?

Thank you for mentioning Mr. Noriega. I appreciate his work and currently fly his aircraft, such as the Caproni Vizzola J22 Venura and the Nardi 333. I am very pleased that we are also discussing unusual aircraft, rare designs, and vintage aircraft here. I have left all the German forums because they are too patronizing, leave little room for discussion, and are heavily biased toward Airbus...

Here's a little trivia that turned up unsolicited on my phone. The C-17 is quite unsymmetrical: the RHS sponson is substantially longer than the other side! Stands to reason actually, airliners have the APU in the tail and RAT in the hold - on this bird you need all the load area you can get, and there's a ramp in the tail. These go in the undercarriage fairing, then. Just quite why it all went in the one side isn't clear, but there would be good cause for this I imagine. Perhaps I should start paying attention to what I think about in front of the phone :unsure:

That's a very handsome livery GIGI is wearing, goes some way to mitigate the fish+moustache look :)

Superb ....JK, Master of paint. :clap:

Well, thanks for watching. As far as textures go, it's just what's available... I thought it would be sensible to fly a training aircraft rather than one of the famous aerobatic formations. :rolleyes:

I finally finished the Auckland flight. Here's an example of what I see in MSFS2024, with a wide range of different coloured tiles, none of which is an attractive colour. I loaded up the same scene in 2020, and saw the same patchwork, although the colours are better. I don't remember 2020 being this bad, I guess it's the 'new' Bing imagery from 2024 which they included in 2020 with the latest sim update... I don't like it.

Beautiful shots JK

One might think that it was underpowered. It is indeed remarkable that I did not come to the same conclusion on this flight with all that stuff under the wings. But that is not the case! It is similar with the Vouga “Magister,” which has the same engines (also two).

The DC-6 is one of the aircraft I would have liked to have experienced in its original form.

It's like a greeting from the old days, a reminder of Ralph L. Tofflemire's legendary Boeing 747-200 Version 2 for FS 2004, which I fondly remember.

Very lively in its details, no sterile atmosphere whatsoever.

Wonderful. I like it.

Messerschmitt later also worked in Egypt. This trainer was also manufactured under license and flown in Egypt. The Heluan HA 300, a supersonic fighter, was also developed there. There were four prototypes. But the Egyptians then bought the MiG 17 and MiG 21. Marboré II The first major production version was the Marboré II, which had a maximum thrust of 3.9 kN (880 lbf) at 22,500 rpm. In its most basic form, it is a single-spool, centrifugal compressor turbojet. Fuel consumption was rated at 410 L/h (90 imp gal/h; 110 gal/h). Variations include military or civilian aircraft, oil tank design,...
