JKB does it again.

Evening departure off Tampa.

If anyone watched this weekends F1 race that took place in Spielberg, you will have noticed just before the start that the Red Bull DC6 did flypast. I thought it would be cool to try and do that in the sim. You can actually work out the track layout in MSFS. Would be pretty cool if at some point all of the race tracks for F1 and other sports would get more detail. Couldn't use live weather as the weather seems to have gone pretty poor so went for a scattered clouds option.

In the Marketplace Cool Palace Hope you like!

Wow the liveries keep coming. This one by DHesquire. Now I can fly the DC-6 on some British routes! Beautiful British countryside.

Hi simmers 😃 Did a short Trip from Paderborn Lippstadt (EDLP) to Friedrichshafen (EDNY) RW24 ( 1h 40mins at 9000 feet ) with the fine DC6 Lufthansa - this Plane makes just some fun to fly..😎 cheers 😉

Trip between PAJN To PANT.

Image # 1: The Caudron C.450 (and C.460) were French racing aircraft, built by manufacturer, Rene Caudron, to participate (and win) in the Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe race of 1934. And, indeed, these a/c won handily... The 1930s were known, the world over, for hand-crafted "hot-rods" built with the sole purpose to win races. The (typical) formula for such success was to attach the biggest (possible) engine on the smallest (possible) airframe...usually resulting in not-so-graceful (ungainly) looking airplanes. The C.450/C.460 designs were, however, rare exceptions...these two racers were not only fast but also graceful...! A single C.450 was built, and it wa…

Enjoy!

Hi simmers 😃 I have set new cameraviews on my DC6 so hope you can like it - here we go.. Last one is no camera view just outside but was a nice situation.. cheers 😉

Another package from AviaJam - Shenzhen Landmarks. I quite like it and it adds to the whole Hong Kong / Macau experience.

Bella Coola is a small community, in British Columbia, Canada, settled in a narrow valley and surrounded by scenic mountainous terrain. Here, for this post, I flew from Vancouver (CYVR) to Bella Coola (CYBD). My choice of aircraft is a Dornier-228, one of my favorite (STOL/Utility) aircraft. Its square fuselage (dictated by non-pressurized cabin) may not win a beauty-contest within its peers, but, the a/c is a proven winner been regarded as a highly fuel-efficient, rugged, and reliable twin turbo-prop transporter, such as e.g. in the (demanding) low-speed and high-altitude operations of the (harsh) Himalayas. Today, when I caught pictures of a Dornier-228, I was reminded …

I know many of us (recently) picked up the fully discounted (SimWorks Studios) F-4 Phantom...in any case, please, find, here, a collection of images, from this SIM, of McDonnell's (original) masterpiece fighter jet... “All we had to work with at the beginning was a gleam in the customer’s eyes,” had said James Smith McDonnell, founder of the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation, in 1954, on the Phantom’s inception. The F-4 then went on to establish fifteen world speed, altitude and time-to-climb records! The very first F-4 production models to roll off McDonnell’s assembly line came standard with Mach 2 (speed) capability as specification - a testament to its designers of …

This post is about two things I have always found fascinating (1) The (historic) Cathay Pacific (Airways) and, (2) The one and only Boeing 747-400 (aka the Queen). The post is inspired by a recent post, by another member, here, with a set of excellent images of a Cathay 777. Cathay Pacific is an airline hard to overlook, in our SIM World, or in the Real World. I am quite sure all of us have seen the amazing videos of Cathay Pacific 747s landing in their home-town Kai Tak Airport (a few of us, here, probably even partaken in the experience, first hand, in fact, I recall someone saying so, a while ago...). I have known of Cathay Pacific since as long as I got interested in …

Another Covid special I've just gotten around to flying a bit more, this one is the Carenado Embraer Brasilia 120 and is a very nice looking plane with quite good features. Version is 1.3. I was motivated based on an Air Crash Investigations (MayDay) episode covering the 1991 Atlantic Southeast Airlines Flight 2311 where a failure of the prop control gear allowed the prop to overspeed causing the prop blades to not feather and instead the blades went to a flat 3 degrees resulting in roll and loss of control with a not survivable crash. Not that such an intricate type of fail is simulatable on my home PC, and in any case the RL root issue was resolved and cannot …
