Hmm, let's see. It's a DHL (Dave's Heavy Load) Boeing 757. No winglets. Umm, you can't paint the antennas? :dunno:

:lol: :lol:

I didn't paint em matey.. that's how they came. It was one of the first things I pinged 8) I gather there are winglets versions but I just installed the paint and off I went. Found everything except the pitots but it never froze up on me :) TBH.. this isn't a bad model for free (JF Freemium) and it lacks some finesse but the textures take ages to load.. both outside and in.. not what I'd expected. The view out is weird. On the deck, it seems just fine but on approach, the ground is like looking through a telescope the wrong way round :-O

I've thought of getting the QW Ultimate 757 Collection (JF are currently selling it for a smidge over £17) but I don't really fly this sort of thing. Just fancied a change :cpu:

That's strange about the view from the cockpit. Mine looks fine but the slow loading textures are a real turn off. :( Can't complain about the price though. :lol:

The 'view thing' could just be me Brian. It flies ok and most things seem to work but yes.. the texture load delay is above and beyond the call of duty 8)

I've just flown Sola - Dyce in the default A321 and the one and only saving grace of that model is that the textures load ok. The rest of it is shite so no screenie :lol:

I should get my CS 737-200ADV's out again shouldn't I :worried:

:lol: :lol: Of course there's always the old tried and true (and frame rate friendly) Project Opensky 757. :)

I still like their AA 757. Not bad considering her age. :lol:

No Dave, there is no excuse for a 737 in any guise, unless its been chopped up. The 757 is a great looking aircraft. The 737... Is just like one of those black Fiat people carriers, pretending to be a black cab... Just ugly.

Ah.. the Fiat Ultipla *-) I think the Ultipla is probably uglier than a 732 but I can see where you're coming from :lol: Thank god they're not as noisy :lol:
