• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

From the "evil empire" among the airlines in the 1980s.
Cool paint scheme though.



- Edit:

There's a story behind the registration number...
 
Though in fairness - they used that paint back in the '70's, before the rise of the Empire. So I guess it dates back to the last days of the Republic...

Personally I like the 1980 -87 pre-merger paint that 816NY would have worn..

Thinking about it...and a billion other paints.

Then again, I can still threaten to release the paintkit and let others do some painting...


But first, the 737 engine gauges in the cockpit have to go. Thank goodness for some XML programming skills!
 


Engine display with every function of the real thing.
Working on the EPR control panel on the right now; might implement engine damage as well to punish improper engine handling via EPR.

The manual of the Coolsky MD-80 is a tremendous help in determining functionalities, but I fear I might end up with complex clone of it in the end. :icon_lol:
 
Scratch the damage, the EPR basically now works as a throttle limiter and thus emulates the real throttle system to a degree. Not sure how the autothrottle plays along though...
