Eric 'winkle' Brown didn't have a good word to say about the 177; [FONT=&quot]Ernst Heinkel always believed that the production of the He177 was too rushed. When they discovered that the engine bearers were too short and that forced the fuel and oil lines around too tight corners, which lead to them fracturing under the vibrations of the engine, which in turn lead to foaming oil and leaking fuel, which in turn lead to engine fires which burnt through the main wing spar in minutes, he wanted to halt production and redesign them. Goring and Milch refused and so the aircraft kept falling out of the sky.

Huub mentioned above NAS Valkenburg. This airfield is part of CalClassic's "Central Europe 1961" scenery package and shows AI traffic with PV-2 Neptune, Tracker and S-58 MLD.

Bernard, as a boy I once visited the airfield. I must have been around 10 and the airfield looked exactly like in this scenery. When I arrived in the late 70-ties again the airfield was in the process of modernisation already. In the 80-ties, just after my brief stay, a lot of big changes were made for the arrival of the P-3 Orions. These were sold in 2004, after which the airfield lost its function and was closed in 2006.

Messerschmitt Bf-109G by Kazunori Ito

Kauzunori produced many beautiful aeroplanes for PC Pilot and this was one of his best (freeware with issue 87) and in his own words:

"This is my "Gustav" that was made for myself by myself.
I finally carried this out.
Leaving aside that this is good or bad, This!...is!...My!..."Gustav"
Ha! ha! ha!
If you think that you want to use, Please use this."

I've got this recorded as being for FS9 and FSX, but I can't therefore account for the snowy landscape in my screenshot, which was taken a long long time ago. Any ideas?

What a coincidence, Huub, I flew there yesterday, and landed next to the Chateau. :wiggle:

Le Mont-Saint-Michel, is not a chateau, but an abbey with a fortified village around this abbey. It has been a church, an abbey, a fortress in the battle against the English (There is a reason why the region next to the Mont is called Bretagne (French for Brittany)), a state prison during the French revolution and now it is an abbey again with an extremely touristic village around it.

When you can look beyond the tourists, its a beautiful place and for everybody who might visit this place, I can recommend a guided tour through the abbey. There is far more to tell about this place than the eye can see.

The scenery is by Pascal Dumat and in my personal opinion the best scenery around for this place.

Cheers,
Huub
 
Sorry Huub, I did mean Abbey..
I've had my eye on that scenery for a long time, very happy to have it.

Thanks for the info.
 
what happened there 1972

Halla friends
the scene should be 1972.
That' s the reason to choose it to make it in black and white
Where is the location and what happened there?
As I fly my planes and choppers as I would do with a real one and not as a rc scale bird
I prefer to make the screenshots from the pilots view out of the cockpit and not as an angel flying beneath the plane

Best regards
Yours

The screenshot shows the 1972 Olympic Stadium in Munich.

The summer olympic games were marked by the Munich massacre. It was a terrorist attack by eight members of the Palestinian militant organization Black September. They infiltrated the Olympic Village, killed two members of the Israeli Olypmic team, and took nine other hostage.

Well seen Bernard
Must say that I look with a bit toothache to the olympic games at Paris this year.
I would not comment french politics but france could be a possible target also.
Hope all would go well.
Must ind mor difficult targets for my screenies LOL
Best regards
Yours

I ommited to point out, that the supposed expulsion of the terrorists and the nine hostages ended in a monstrous fiasco at Fürstenfeldbruck airbase. After firefights on the base, towi Federal Border Guards helicopters were blown up along woth all hostages. These tragic events had a very strong impact on the year 1972. I thjought of it immediately when I just red the year.

Bernard







I thought of it immediately when I just read the year.
