Nice A400M screenshot. I have Wilco A400M for FSX but am STILL afraid to install it. ha ha ha ha The software is still sitting on my bookshelves. ha ha ha Funny thing I managed to install Virtivia C-17 Cargomaster without problems.
Your Calvi Airport, Corsica, France | LFKC / CLY | screenshots are masterpieces!! At first, I thought it was Switzerland!! Am having hard time believing it is Corsica!!

Thanks, it is though…
I am using FranceVFR - Flight Corse as a base and ontop the Calvi Airport from FSX3D - Made for FS2004 (https://secure.simmarket.com/fsx3d-calvi-st-catherine-airport-lfkc-fs2004-(de_9706).phtml) for 5 Bucks, you can’t go wrong on that one…
Concerning the Wilco A400M, there shouldn’t be any issue… mine is working perfectly… and was installed quickly..

8:30 am and here we are at Grand Canyon National Park (KGCN) loading and inspecting our mount for the day. We plan to fly down the Canyon over the Hoover dam and then pop into Las Vegas for some Rest and Recuperation. In real life the air space over the Grand Canyon is severely restricted, but this is FS9…
The craft is the WT-9 Dynamic by Aerospool. Born in Prievidza, Slovakia, this composite
lightweight aircraft is a Sports class aircraft, enabling easier pilot licensing. The
RG version features retractable landing gear, and a cruise speed of 136 Knots at
5200 RPM. The aircraft is powered by the Rotax 912 UL power plant. FS9 version by Lionheart Creations.
Take off takes longer than expected but the altitude might have something to do with it (KGCN) is at 6600’, once airborne the plane is an absolute delight to fly:
Rwy 3 take-off leads us straight to the Canyon, and the confidence the plane inspires helps us decide to dive down and follow the river in the Canyon:
We follow the river and keep a close eye on altitude and mixture, the drop from rim to river can be as much as 4000’ to 5000’
Eventually the Colorado flows into Lake Mead:
We follow the lake to the famous Hoover dam:
Once over the Hoover it’s time to leave the river for a brief skip to Las Vegas where the streets are lined with gold. The town that has a voracious appetite for peoples’ dreams and the diminishing waters of our friend the Colorado:
ATC are screaming at us so better get back to the left circuit for rwy 12L North Las Vegas (KVGT), and a pretty good touch down.
Another day over, but plenty of night life to look forward to.

I already have that for few years. I must have missed view of the mountains when I was using the scenery! Yes you are right it is bargain for lousy 5 bucks which is CERTAINLY CHEAPER than a cup of overpriced Starbucks coffee

Thanks to the previous one.
I remembered what the default Vegas looks like. I've had a classic scenery there for many years.
I looked at the screenshots... And to the music of Elvis he went on a flight...
Vivaaaaaa Laaaaas-Vegaaas!!!
The result is logical...
I crashed into Jimmy Durante's billboard...
Sorry for my terrible English )))))))))))

The UK has two carriers; HMS (His Majesty's Ship) Queen Elizabeth (with around 50 aircraft rotating) and HMS Prince Of Wales (not yet fully equipped)
HMS Queen Elizabeth below:
HMS Queen Elizabeth below:
Here is HMS Queen Elizabeth for FSX for you: https://simviation.com/1/browse-Misc-58-4
Alternatively you can just google FSX British Carriers and quite a few will show up.

And here is a Sea Harrier for ya: https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/23405/fsx-royal-navy-bae-sea-harrier/

For FS2004 there is the Falkland Islands task force scenery which has the Invincible-class Ark Royal, the earlier HMS Ark Royal IV and Ian Elliot and Justin Hook's retro RNAS scenery to accompany it (also found in the library here). There is a FS2004 model of HMS Hermes adapted by Dave Garwood, but I'm not sure where to find that.
As far as I know there isn't a Queen Elizabeth/Prince Of Wales for FS2004. As Priller has pointed out, if you use FSX you have plenty to choose from.

for FSX, there are quite a few of the old - not sure for the Harrier but available is the Victorious 1940, 1944, 1960, 1966, and the Ark Royal (suited for the Harrier) courtesy of flying stations, bravo zulu, and web-archive:

With Flying Stations website closing down imminently I’ve added the freeware downloads here. Still need to decide what to do with the payware stuff, however if you’ve already purchased …

should the flyingstations web archive links not work, the dropbox links available from the archived page of bravozulu are still functional

It is indeed. I'm looking to run it through MCX/FSDS to see if I can backdate it further, or even modify it to sister ships (which could fit in nicely with Ian Elliot et al's wonderful retro Middle East packages. All we'd need would be a Belvedere.

Neither, its an AI Sea Hawk.
SH-60 Seahawk AI for FS9 Carrier scenery
A VERY basic AI install that covers most Helo squadrons for US Carrier deployments. This is John Young's AI Seahawk(s) for FS9 with a minimal footprint in terms of installed aircraft. Read the README text file prior to install then run Traffic...

Las Vegas was fun but it’s a new day and time to head back to the Colorado and further south. It’s meant to be an adventure so we have found something exotic, and rather rare to fly today:
Notes from the model creator Mario Noriega:
“NOTE:
The FS-2004 release shall be used with a system capable of sustaining 40 FPS or more. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in landing gear misbehaviour and pitch instability. FS-X and P3D V4 releases are paid add-ons, distributes exclusively through SimMarket.
The C-22J is the last aircraft to be adorned with the legendary Caproni name. Originally known as "Caproncino", then marketed as "Ventura". A very-light jet developed in the 1980s as a military trainer, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft. Powered by two TRS-18 turbojets fed from a dorsal NACA intake, the aircraft reached Mach 0.47 and was fully aerobatic. The airframe shows its origin in a glider design, the Caproni A-21 Calif. After the merger with SIAI Marchetti, the project was cancelled in favor of the SF-260.”
This is NOT an aircraft you can just jump in and fly, reading and understanding the manual is a must.
Take-off (after setting correct trim and flaps for the load):
and a final goodbye to Las Vegas:
Turning south as we re-join the Colorado:
Past the Davis Dam (not depicted in FS9) and Bullhead City. The valley starts to open out and signs of intense agriculture begin to show:
Downstream of Lake Havasu we pass Parker Dam:
We turn sharply to follow the Colorado down to Parker town:
Passing Parker with it’s rail and road bridges. The dam is just about visible in the distance below the tail:
Some 50 miles further south we decide to put into Blythe airport (KBLH).
This aircraft seems happy cruising around 240Kts. Landing has to be done by the book as trim, flaps, airbrakes and landing gear have to be deployed and set correctly for a smooth landing. Practice is required, more than I had done; mine was a terrible landing. MUST DO BETTER! (if still alive).
Extensive manuals and documentation come with the model.
On the ground in Blythe:
Last day of the adventure tomorrow, I must find something suitably historic to fly into Mexico with.
