February 19Feb 19 I never saw this one coming - a Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer from Black Box. Very much my cup of tea! https://www.blackboxsimulation.com/2024-twin-pioneer-product-home/ Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org
February 19Feb 19 Love the aircraft! ..... but not Black Box 😝 It's a shame when an aircraft that you really like is made by a developer that you really don't. It reduces the chances of a more quality-capable dev doing it in the future.

I hope the community repainters will take pity on her, because other than the textures, it's a very enjoyable model. Glad I bought it.

Running P3D v5.4 (with v4.5 scenery objects as an additional library, just in case), FSX-SE, MSFS2020, MSFS2024 and even FS9. XP11 and 12 installed, just for curiosity. Mobile rig: ASUS Zenbook UM425QA (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H APU @3.2 GHz and boost disabled, 1 TB M.2 SSD, 16 GB RAM, Windows 11 Pro). Running FS9 there for airliner ops. FSX-SE also installed, just in case.

Just that they look of a similar quality level to textures from the FSX era. Yes, I remember when Black Box were PSS (Phoenix Simulation Software). Their A320 Professional was the first airliner I ever bought in FS9 😊 And I remember they closed the doors, and the website and people who'd bought their products (which also included a A340/A330 addon) lost access to their downloads. The brothers then moved to Malta and started Black Box.
