Very impressive guy.

BTW, the 124 is now available here.

indeed! i heartily agree.

with russia's massive population they manage to churn out a higher quantity meaning we all just have massive virtual hangars :dance:

That darned Bill Leeming.....

Although you have to admit, at least the guys at Eaglesoft are freely giving what they've learned during that extra time to the community.

Hi Chris

Yes Bill is (& always has been) being just about the only link to WTF the aces boys are doing.

He's a very good chap & as a bonus he makes superb Payware which my stuff is not as good as (Yet!)

Looks great John

Nice clean edges on the nose position cut out

The only thing I notice on a quick view is the nose wheel doesn't look like it's touching the ground :think:

Thanks for the screenies

Thanks John,

I,ve downloaded it now.
It's a wonderful model, with excellent handling characteristics.
Also, I echo Garry's comments on the quality of the aircraft produced by members of this forum.
Great to be able to run the sim with VC-10s, Tridents, 748s, Doves etc with the odd TU-124 or 134 thrown in.
Just like the real good old days!

Regards

Kevin

PS I need to practice my Russian

I thought that I had never seen any of these in real life.
Indeed never saw an Aeroflot Tu-124. But CSA used them on the occasional Heathrow flights between 1965 and 1967 which I did see.

Eddie,

It was there (and obvious) but it's gone missing again.
