Arkansas Traveler

OK, I'm not from or in Arkansas, but I am traveling, and I did bring a small laptop, so I thought this was reasonably appropriate. Taking screenshots without any form of controller/joystick is not easy though..

Excellent work, Jan Kees! I especially like the clarity and detail of the nose art (during the war, many a P-38 gained some really great nose art subject matter, as in the case of this one). Lt. James O. Fincher, 392nd Fighter Squadron, 367th Fighter Group, 9th Air Force, Clastres Airfield, France, circa October 1944.

The XBox 360 pads are reasonably priced and work well with FSX out of the box. Setup and usage takes some getting used to, but with a bit of practice its the best way to enjoy flight simulation while travelling.
 
I bought a cheap joystick in the end..

and the Traveler has arrived on OZx. Have fun!

Great work JanKees, I'm always fascinated by repaints where you can see the difference of the finish of the bare metal. :encouragement:

Oh man, fantastic paint scheme Jan!!! Off to pick her up. She should look terrific in P3D v4.
