Thanks to a recent (member) post, we all, know a bit about DCS's incredible MiG-29 "Fulcrum". That (DCS) SIM is actually "designed and tested" by a former MiG-29 pilot, which is a testament to the extreme fidelity of its simulated systems...If you recall, that post had also generated some "Russian" linguistic discussions, and, further, even though, personally, I don't own DCS, there was a (suggestive) note in there, that had attracted my attention: "Indian Air Force versions of the MiG-29 which you can get for FSX/P3D from FlyFreeStd, actually have English language placarding and Imperial symbology on the HUD. Guess we can thank the British Empire for that one....Tho…

Since a short while ago, that I'd flown (and posted about) the mjc8-Q400, I've been thinking of a flight with my all-time favorite turboprop SIM, the PMDG classic JS4100...! It has been probably a year or so, since, I'd last flown that SIM. As I recall, this (legacy) SIM has (sometimes) created some issues on my (moderate) FSX/SE system, regarding performance (such as frame stuttering). So, today, for this SIM, I started out by moving my slider-set, one extra notch lower, than my normal. This was the right thing to do, here! Today, I faced no (detectable) issues at all, during this entire ~500 nm flight, and neither was there any noticeable loss of texture resolution, e.g…

East of Southampton Thanks for viewing, Darryl

This is my new happy place! HF2 is great. Updated AIG, ASP3D, ENV*, and I'm really happy with P3Dv5HF2! Captions above each pic. A2A C182 with RXP GTN750/650, ASP3D latest update for HF2, ASCA full dynamics, Orbx global stuff including vector (and KACK but you can't see it due to fog), AIG traffic and some misc GA and military AI injected using realtraffic and Lorby live traffic (LLTX). I turn off HDR and enhanced atmospherics (AE is not capable of displaying weather in a geographically accurate way, so defeats the whole reason for using real weather in my opinion, but it does look good). Here's the GOES16 - fog and low clouds at KACK. Departing IFR to K…

[Note: This post was triggered by a (recent) Top-50 (Library) Freeware (Repaint) contribution, that I came across last week...] The 747 is a plane, which, both as a masterpiece of original engineering and because of its rich and abundant history, has never failed to fascinate me on a continuous basis (and, of course, most of us, too) ...I still vividly recall the first time ever, I'd seen, up close, that (bulbous) nose of the big Jumbo (747-400) sticking up against the glass of the waiting (lounge) area, prompting me to wonder to myself, how does this thing get up in the air and stay up there..? The 747, although, is still flying in its most modern versions, the icon…

Passing by the famous Matterhorn Thanks for viewing

This post and the set of images, below, are triggered, thanks to another recent post, here, about this (same) but, otherwise, rarely seen aircraft. First of all, I've been a fan of Captain (Sir) Geoffrey de Havilland (OM, CBE, AFC, RDI, FRAeS), right from the earliest days of my aviation interest...🙂...Anyway, in one of the (long past) Just Flight SALEs, I'd acquired this nice (de Havilland) plane, but, rarely ever flown it. The other (member) post, this week, brought it out to the forefront of my memory (and out of my virtual hangar)... The Dove was a popular aircraft and is considered to be one of Britain's most successful postwar civil designs. Several military va…
