January Resting.....it was so busy for the holidays, now for some rest! Late hour at some of the world's airports. Thanks for viewing, Darryl

I'm feeling nostalgic today. At 58 I'm enjoying simming more than ever. 25 plus years of pretend piloting. I'm grateful to so many that have made virtual reality so great. Thank you to all the developers who push the envelop, and those enthusiasts who help repair what gets broken along the way! Enjoy my recent screen captures from the moments that leave me grinning...

A few pics with more to come: Jose

[Due credits up front: B744 SIM used is by iFly and FSX/P3D Repaint is by our Steve D.] In many respects, the life of a plane resembles that of any living being....so, find here, one such story, that of the two (and only two, the Airline had) Air Pacific B747-400s (DQ-FJK and DQ-FJL). The Air Pacific livery is strikingly colorful, and I recall this livery since my earliest days of exposure to the FS. DQ-FJL, subject of the screenshots, below, was born, as Line Number 722 (out of the total 1557 B747s built), at Everett (PAE), first flew on February 6 (1989), and after a distinguished service of 24 years, would be finally (and sadly), sent to Tupelo Regional Airport (K…

Decided to paint it on the Aerosoft A330.... Getting close to done...but still a lot of tiny details to wrap up.

Shalom and greetings all my pals, Presenting a nice history recreation of real world El Al 707 flight from LIRF Rome–Fiumicino International Airport located in Rome, Italy to LFML Marseille Provence Airport located 17 miles northwest of Marseille in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur région of France. Fully boarded and ready for pushback!! Dig nice tail!!! Sorry about peel weathering on some words. Blame on hot weather and cold weather!!! After pushback now starting engines with massive start up smoke Engines roaring with more smoke to start taxi from passenger apron to taxiway to short of runway 34R Entering in…

Was playing around with a few environment settings and caught this nice shot just at sunset...

Given the miserable post-new year weather blues in the UK, I fancied a bit of GA flying in warmer climes, namely around the Netherlands Antilles - Sint Maarten and St. Barths. I think the main danger at Gustav III airport was not to me, but to the ground traffic on the roundabout! Total VFR flying, on the way back to TNCM WHOA! Close call with the biological flyers! Time to gather one's nerves.. Oh yes, and I bought a flying Land Rover to return to TFFJ (Flight1 BN2 Islander). I've since modified the FSX default.xml file as per the developer's instructions (Marc-Henri Guitteny) so…

Here's an early morning departure out of New York in the Boeing 737-800.

Getting ready to depart Shreveport Regional (WG's MRO base), bound for their main hub at Southwest Florida International airport. There's 5 tons of ballast up front to keep things in shape. (FSX NOTAM: Sky Sim's MD-11 aircraft manager currently only has input fields for the PAX versions, but you still see the %MAC displayed when you alter payload and fuel via FSX's menu.) Turning on to course. She's quite nippy with minimal payload and fuel! Bye, bye Shreveport. Climbing up to cruise altitude. Feet wet over the Gulf of Mexico. Descending towards KRSW. First touchdown on a…

[Today, I read with interest, in our FS2020 Forum, the fact that we have now already passed "25,000" posts about the new simulator which is still a year away from release....(please see the topic "25,000" in the respective Forum). That signifies an unprecedented level of excitement and discussion about the new Simulator! It will be certainly an interesting 2020 for the SIM community...] Anyway, here, in this post, I do my own (annual) due diligence to examine the most downloaded FW files from 2019. Focusing on Aircraft alone, I've selected a representative sample of 19 images, posted below. Hope you'll enjoy the diversity (and collective beauty) of this FW sample, overl…

A late afternoon fly over of a not so busy McCarran International Airport,Las Vega$ Nevada in The RAZBAM Mig-19P in DCS World. Thanks for L@@King Friends

Gift bearings..... Happy Holidays

The Right Honorable Steve Drabek strikes again. For being retired, he sure is a busy one. Took his latest, a wonderful LTU A330-300, up for a quick hop at sunset. No prizes for guessing the airport. Nicely done, Steve, very nicely done. -Scott Brandenburg.

Air Transat I...Montreal's hometown airline Thanks for viewing, Darryl

WOW, I love this FlyTampa Airport. It's so good, even after all years. AI Traffic is provided by AIG (via the free OCI Installer) Departure to Belgrad with the fantastic PMDG Boeing 737 NGXu Time: 17. July 2019 / Flight FZ1745 Updated AFD available! Have FUN Urmel

And beyond? 🙂 Not a big fan of logo jets....but Pixar is an exception. 🙂 (love their movies)

Taking her up at sunset to test the night lighting...thought this shot was worth sharing.

I'm following up, here, a bit, to explore these two airports and their vicinity in more detail (quite pretty in the SIM here and surely in RW too)...PAKT and TJSJ were the ORIG/DEST points in my earlier post of the DC8 Flight. For this objective, in this post, I've used a Zeppelin in the air and the 1st Person BOB on the ground. Side Notes of (maybe) general interest: Zeppelin NT, shown here, looks like, but, technically, is not a Blimp. Zeppelin NT is a (modern) continuation of the famous (Zeppelin) heritage founded by Ferdinand von Zeppelin, which constructed and operated the successful range of Zeppelin airships in early 20th century (test-flown on the shor…
