Just finished my second full flight on VMware, and the overall sim performance was smooth throughout!
Even with "Pause on task switch" unchecked, FS2004's sound stops playing the moment the sim is not focused, which is a problem if you're flying with ATC. Hence me flying on a VM.

It’s the start of another over worked and under paid night shift for the cargo boys.
Between 1977 and 1978 IPEC purchased four Armstrong Whitworth Argosys (Argosies?) for their overnight express services in Australia. This model is by Rick Piper (a big thanks from me).
Ready for loading at the cargo terminal in Brisbane:
The Argosy derived from a UK military specification, cargo doors opened front and rear for easy loading with power provided by four Rolls Royce Dart turboprops.
Loading almost complete:
The Load Master is taking a breath (I hope that is not a cigarette in his hand) as the main cargo is on board and secured:
The Whistling Wheelbarrow, as it was known, is ready for power up and the crew go through the start-up procedure:
Taxi clearance received and ready to make their way to the active runway:
Take off clearance given as they line-up and make final checks:
Up and away, gear retracting and about to turn onto a heading for Sydney.
Turning south for Australia’s biggest city:

Awesome pictures, Scottish Mike! Where can I download this aircraft?
For nostalgic reasons I decided to make a paintkit for the Spitfire PR XI by Chris Lampard and Shessi. As a teenager, the first real Spitfire I saw was the PL965, while it was still on display in the War- and resistance museum in Overloon. As the Spitfire had no real historic value for the museum, it was swapped for an ex-Indian Air Force Spitfire FR Mk.XVIIIe, which is currently painted as a Spitfire Mk XIV, as flown by 322 Dutch squadron RAF in 1944, and is on display in the museum. The PL965 was beautifully restored into flying condition is currently one of the two remaining flying PR.XI Spitfires.
The Spitfire PA885 in the screenshots crashed near Meerlo on May 28, 1944, with 26-year-old Australian pilot Neville Clark on board. He belonged to the 542 Squadron RAAF, which was conducting reconnaissance flights over Germany in unarmed Spitfires. After taking photographs of German airfields near Dortmund and Bochum, his aircraft was hit by German anti-aircraft fire on the return journey. At a quarter past eight in the evening, his plane crashed just outside the Dutch village Meerlo. The Germans recovered his remains and buried them in Venlo. After the war, his remains were moved to the Jonkerbos military cemetery in Nijmegen.

Meanwhile, somewhere over the Gulf of Oman (still) between Muscat and Karachi.
Its another fine Navy day and its 84F at 0730.
Clearly, you can see the benefits of upgrading the GPU and it was $90 well spent:
No wonder the surface folks loved the I-O and Persia.
I didn't include the upper sky. Its mostly..white.
I made some rules for this "career mode" WESTPAC deployment.
Stick to an actual deployment schedule and run "real weather" (FSRealWX) for all flights.
This adds some uncertainty for carrier take offs and landings, any cross winds could be counted as sea state but by now, my landings are mostly "muscle memory" although I have caught myself getting lazy at times.
I'm trying to follow the USS Abe Lincoln's actual deployment, I'm getting a feeling this screen shot should cover the next couple of months although I can also move south to Somalia and Yemen and I'm looking forward to some R&R in Oz and Japan before heading home (maybe by Thanksgiving??).

in the same train of thought, another is Beech 18 revamp by Thomas Wood / CR1-Software, still sold at simshack: https://www.simshack.net/products/beech-18-fsx-fs2004-347 but also (previously) available as freeware from the official (now defunct) CR1-Software website; thankfully web archive managed to save the link: https://web.archive.org/web/20220819234136/http://cr1-software.com/addons/beech-18-revamp/
cheers!

CR1 Software is the now known SIMTECH Product right? Which also sold the Beechcraft Staggerwing… which has also been available as Freeware on Flightsim.com.

correct: CR1 Software was previously known as SIMTECH - Thomas J Wood the driving force behind both; the Beechcraft Staggerwing as available on flightsim and early 2010s, also on CR1 software site was the old simtech release, but CR1 revamped it in time, and released it as donationware for a modest donation - and the Staggerwing remained donationware; unlike the revamped Beech 18, originally payware, and eventually released as freeware on CR1-Software website, while remaining payware on the likes of simshack and also the flightsim store

Its not what you think.
Not French, its a Harbin Z-9C complete with a PLAN crew.
The big problem is adding the "stars and bars" to the tail boom.
This is still a work in progress using the Alphasim AS365 Dauphin.
This is a fairly rare title and I'm wondering if anyone else would be interested in the textures once I finish them?
If so, let me know and I'll upload them plus some aircraft.cfg tweaks.
EDIT- I think this is why its such a rare title:
secure.simmarket.com
The price is fairly steep for something that should be freeware by now.

Derived from the single-engine AS360 the AS365 Dauphin has seen extensive service in many countries and services The N2 is a new model line and features larger engines and gearboxes an improved cabin and cabin access as well as larger tail surfaces to enhance the N2 performance The N2 is...

You're not wrong. There is the freeware model from Antti Pankkonen, but the Virtavia is a step above.
And, yes, I'd be very interested in that repaint when you are finished.

I still want to graft a 2D panel into mine.
I'm pretty sure this is a re-do of Antti's MDL but this wasn't Alpha/Virtavia's finest hour.
If you're happy wrenching on aircraft.cfg files, there's a lot to enjoy.
No promises of when, but I'll upload the textures once I finish them.

The SimTech FS2002/FS2004 freeware Staggerwing can still be found at Simviation.
Just do a search on "Staggerwing" and Scroll down.
