Classic British Flight Sim

OK, that's the Viscounts done, pending Garry's approval! The BA liveries are maybe pushing the boundaries a wee bit,
but I think we might get away with it

So here's a glimpse of some propeller action from EGCC. Frame rates are standing up well.






Might not have chicken today after all :-( By the time I'd plucked it and stuffed it, I didn't have the heart to kill it :roll:

Ian ;-)

Very nice Viscounts Ian

Glad you used the early titled BAF

Garry

A nice moment as EP lands in the background too Ian

Does this man know which buttons to press or what!

Glad I'm not the chicken mind you!

I think I've finished this project now.

Who said they thought it was already finished?

Anyway, just to wrap it up I've written flightplans for a few heavies to visit on Friday mornings when there's fog at LHR. This was a regular scene in the 70s and 80s before autoland became standard, so I had to include it here. I've had to upgrade some of the stands to accommodate them but I've squeezed 8 in for a couple of hours as well as the regular flights. I thought this was a nice panoramic shot showing how busy the jumbo pier gets, although it doesn't show up too well at 800 pixels width. So for those who are interested there's a link to a full-size pic at image shack





I might set up a couple of weekly AI flights from retro Manchester to retro Kai Tak and back (in the Peter McLeland fashion ;-) ) and then get on with some damn flying!

I'm there at this very moment in a Lancastrian Ian. I don't see any parked up

Very nice ;-) Pity about the Party Poker 'Pop-up' but hey.. the Chinese were always and will always be gamblers ;-)

I hope not Garry...I always enjoyed those DFWs and WFDs to compensate us for working Bank Holidays

Good Lord, No! Overseas Division had to work Bank Holidays* so now I'm getting my revenge on the Flat Earth Society!
They work EVERY day in my world The virtual Peter McLeland, though, is virtual Shuttle Fleet Manager - so he can write his own roster ;-)

Sorry to expose you to a pop-up, Dave :-(
I've got so many blockers I never see them, so I wasn't aware that one was lurking or I'd have put up a warning

*Actually, I was one of the few people working an aircraft over the Millennium! :o (That's the 1999/2000 one - before you ask!)
