Was wondering what you'd been up to...
A2A really went for it on this one, by all accounts.
You flying it with Accusim on?
If so, we'll understand if you go a bit quiet - those aircraft didn't have multi-crew positions for no reason, y'know.
EDIT: I just realised - this thing sits under the Super Guppy!

Hiding away

, man handling the props pre takeoff , ACCUSIM - brilliant addon and all the way from the start

Ok the A380 off the 50s , no 1960 , a Jack Conroy idea , and still the concept is getting built on today !

I call it mister blobby

The 4th shot reminds me of those dinosaurs with the thick skulls that smash together

Its an amazing idea to transport Apollo Boosters during the 1960s 70s program , airbus built on the idea and now Boeing returned to make/modify a 747 for the 787 program

That has got to be some of the best scenery I've seen

I feel like a kid in a candy shop.

Not too shabby looking, up close, either.
I'm talking Wingview, look at the rivets...not overdone at all.

Superb! I agree with Charl - perfect detail on the rivets, not too obvious yet not too "drawn on, blend in"

You may have just tipped me into buying FSX with this 377!

It is the first 4 engine type that really requires attention , rather than the FMC's , really requires maps to help , gotta get me ANG to least cover NZ for flight maps

Cheers Paul ..

Jeepers , hell of an interesting model to play with , using engine management Accusim .. put the jet jockeys to shame .. and i was one off them but really had a love for the pioneers pre and coming into the jet age and times replaced them , the Connie is my Fav , but to get to learn to operating and procedures , this model is one heck of a trainer !

I think the 747 SUPER C Jumbo suits the shape , as for the idea to lower the cockpit to utilise cargo handling loading/offload aircraft components .
