Speed Trees "Off" Orbx 11S airport These trees are part of the Terra Emergence package - very nice freeware. Terra Emergence Project Speed Trees "On" Orbx 11S airport

I've been recreating the tour from the pilot's eye DVD "Lady's trip to the closed strip" Quito on a Lufthansa Cargo MD-11. Hence my Sky Sim MD screenshots recently! It's a great set of flights IMHO: Gorgeous aeroplane, gorgeous countryside, and FO Anne-Katrin has a smile to die for - professionalism and beauty is a win-win. Anyhow.. One of the stops is SKBO. I had recently found a nice freeware airport. Good job , much improvement over the stock FSX. No complaints. However, I learned today that Virtualcol's offering is now free - it's a keeper. Seems quite well optimised, at least as far as I could tell taking my payware Carenado Commander114 for a tr…

Enjoying my RealityXP integration into Alabeo's Cardinal for Xplane11. Flying out of Napa to Santa Rosa, a real life flight I took in my friend's rented 182, Tim Hurley, and Mike McKeowen, both pilots, back in the mid 80's. We then took off from Santa Rosa, cruised south to Point Reyes then South/Southeast over the Golden Gate Bridge, then east to Concord's Buchannan Field where we ate lunch at the Nugget Restaurant. Then we flew back home. I subsidized the flight with about $40.00 to help pay for the aircraft rental, we otherwise went Dutch on lunch. We flew quite often, every few weekends for a few years, or my friend Mike and I would ride our bicycles to Calistoga…

looks still great. I've updated the ADE to get it better working with AI.

The personal airliner of the non kerosene breathers, the Piper Malibu Mirage, able to handle some pretty good city pairs, like Santa Rosa to Santa Ana, or Napa to Reno, or Petaluma to Vegas... I love the way it just floats on landing.... and floats on landing, in ground effect... For just feather light gentle touchdowns.... John

Working on painting United's new livery on the old NGX and couldn't resist sharing these shots:

I don't typically post a lot of these... but tonite was just gorgeous. I did another online flight and looking at the weather (it was supposed to be a lower marine layer but ended not showing up), I elected to shoot the VOR-A into KSMO. So this was a flight from KSEE down by San Diego to Santa Monica, CA KSMO Approaching KLAX at 8000 ft Untitled-1 by ryan b, on Flickr Burbank 3 stacks at my 10 oclock Untitled-2 by ryan b, on Flickr Looking to the ENE I think that's Ontario, CA Untitled-3 by ryan b, on Flickr Being vectored to the WNW approaching the 212 inbound course for the SMO vor Untitled-4 by ryan b, on Flickr This t…

As one sees the nice King Air 350s, here, in the forum, in recent days, being flown (so passionately) by the members, one might think back to the days when the Turboprop (the type of engines that power the KA350) made its very first flight...It was in 1948, the Vickers Viscount was introduced as the first commercial airliner to use turboprop power (equipped with four Rolls-Royce Dart turboprop engines). The Vickers Viscount made its maiden flight 70 years ago on Friday, 16 July 1948. Regular passenger flights were launched by British European Airways (BEA) on April 18 (1953), the world's first scheduled turboprop airline service. Rolls-Royce is still a catchword in a…

This quick post is prompted by a bit of (separate) discussion today about how good (really) is the new Lufthansa livery, and how deserving it is of its rich history... After changing to its current livery in the 1960s — blue tail with yellow circle, blue stylized crane in the circle, blue cheat-line down a largely white fuselage — Lufthansa had remained faithful to this model. Throughout the years, all their liveries have, at least, featured the classic Lufthansa yellow. In the 1990s, the amount of grey on the undersides became smaller, but the livery overall remained the same. But that has changed recently - since Feb. 2018 — a big piece of that identity has go…

Enjoy this set of 20 screenshots.... John

The Piper Pacer is one of my favorite VFR (SIM) aircraft. I was "loitering" around a bit, today, with it - around Orbx's Stewart area...and thought, would share a few snapshots of its liveries...The Tri-Pacer variant (designation PA-22) was a 4-seater aircraft that goes a long way back to 1949 - built by Piper in the post-WWII period in the continued spirit of the famous Cub and Super Cub. Essentially, it was a modification of the earlier PA-20 Pacer, that was originally designed with a tail-wheel. To improve forward visibility, Piper introduced the PA-22 Tri-Pacer with a nose-wheel instead of the tail-wheel landing gear. At the time, the tricycle undercarriage became so …

Here's some screenshots from my MD-11 evening flight from Bogota to Aguadilla, Puerto Rico..
