FSX CBI Scenery at Flightsim.com

[Crusader]

Just a heads up on flightsim.com . Hav'nt had a chance to try it out yet . I've had the FS9 version since it came out(not sure if same author or not) . http://www.flightsim.com/newfiles/all/all0.htm

Thanks for the head up, great news!
Nothing beats flying the hump with a c-47!

Cheers,

Did some testing, I think its quite good.
All the relevant airfields are there, and the package contains an exceptional volume of documentation (charts, maps, etc). For that I really applaude the author.

Scenery objects are standard fsx, as far as I have seen. I will write to the author and offer him my Solomon 1943 libraries, if he wants to expand his work or introduce a second version if it.

Thanks for the HU. I had an FS9 version in GW3 also.

I totally agree with you Mark . The documentation is excellent and very informational . Basically it is pretty good but could really use some airfield scenery objects . Your Solomon 1943 libraries would be excellent for the CBI scenery and would really fit right in to it .

Except flying the Hump in a C-46.

I might even start a ' We NEED a C-46 ' thread ...

We need a Military C-46A with Curtiss 4 blade props (grin).
The CalClassic is a civvy derated one although it can be modified to Mil specs. But it's a HS 3 blade version. There were some, but the majority were Curtiss equipped. LOL mate its an uphill battle (grin).

Totally agree, a Curtiss Commando would be a blast for that scenery!

Well, even though she's a 3 bladed version, she still fills the bill quite nicely, She is very convincing when flying the "Hump".

The documentation looks great, I will try it this weekend. The hump is a classic.

Don't try flying into Chaukan Pass from the SE

A C-46 will work but let's face it -- we need a C-87!

Two different C-87s were just released for FS9.

Mal, I assume that's the Cal Classics one by Libardo Guzman et al. Lovely in FS9 but still has the prop disc texture issue with SP2 if I remember.

Thanks for the heads-up on the C-87s Willy!! Even though they're FS9 I still fly that sim when I want to partake in some Cloud9 Phamtom flights. I'll check it out!

Paul,
I addressed the prop issue and they now work fine.
