I was at the news stand and picked up a copy of ...I think Aeroplane Magazine.......

In it there was a good spread on the Fairchild C-82.

Which prompted me to get back in CFS2 and annoy everyone here..........

I see Obio has a C-119 thread over a FS2004

So..........
 
Just to keep this post up alittle longer

Just something to browse......

and keep the thread from the back pages alittle longer
 
At the Risk of a further Mind numbing rehash

I was wondering if the above cartoon was getting lost with the latest SOH CFS2 group........

Age and Country of origin maybe a little skewed since..............1965

So..........for a recap .......and to put some chat down.......

1965 chararcters speaking in above cartoon

Jimmy Stewart --- Frank Towns - speaking
Sir Richard Attenborough -- Lew Moran - speaking
Hardy Kruger ---Heinrich Dorfmann ---- Hatari reference and speaking
George Kennedy ---- Cool hand Luke reference
Ernest Borgnine ----McHale's Navy ...Wild bunch reference
C-82 Packet

2004
Dennis Quaid ---Frank Towns
C-119 Flying Boxcar

I was going for a C-82 thread .....Obio has a fs2004 for C-119

or we can go C-119 ...........

and the guy in the Black and White cartoon was from a 1950's military magazine or newspaper.........for what PjMack is reference too???.........Not Dennis Quaid or Jimmy Stewart
 
Olive Drab C-82

In the Aeroplane Magazine there was ........I thought ....

An Olive Drab C-82..............

I can't seem to find one online........anyone ever seen one..........with official markings....

There is a an old none insignia .......faded one .........but thats not what I was looking for.
 
Nice recap of the movies Rockster. I enjoyed both versions of the tale. I really enjoyed the sound track of the second version.

There is a nice C-82 Packet on display at the McChord Air Base museum.
 
Panel shots from 1965 version

These are shots of the actual panel from the movie.........

In these frames Jimmy Stewart is dealing with a Port Side Engine Failure

And

A Emergency Landing .....with putting gears down???

Is he........

Just pushing buttons...........or really simulating a emergeny engine shutdown and landing???

Is it really a C-82 panel or just a dummy Hollywood panel???

Remember ...........Jimmy Stewart had input into airplane selection for the movie and he was a pilot
 
Problem with a Gull Wing Phoenix

I can remember thinking about how they got around the gull wing issue in the 1965 version....

the 2004 version attempted to a more realistic approach.............

I haven't seen the 2004 version of the film........just clips over at YouTube.
 
Yes..........For a FS2004 version

Yes.............there was a previous FS2004 Heather Sherman ........Daisuke Yamamoto
version of the C-82 Arabco and Flight of the phoenix...........

An excellent ............FS2004

I did a CFS2 version.........this was prior to proficient FS9 to CFS2 conversion

The FS2004 version had a High frame rate (fps choker) for my old PentiumII

and

It didn't allow for CFS2 mission builder objects etc............

I like to go .............BOOOOOOOOOOM now and then..............and FS2004 doesn't go .....BOOM
(see Daisy Cutter)

and ..........many future CFS2 parts have come from the FSDS model I released

(I have to translate for PJMack............for those new to the saga)

I still like Flight of the Phoenix............and I saw c-82 in the Aeroplane Mag...........and I like flying my own model in CFS2 ....I still don't own FS2004....it was expensive when FS2004 came out and about the time the Sherman team released thier version........and appreciated the c-82 much more ...since I had to build it from scratch.......

FS9 to CFS2 conversions are great.................but I highly recommend building your own favorite aircrafts...........and you can avoid the Conversion Restrictions and Prohibitions........

However, if you want a better C-82 and phoenix, I can highly recommend you use the FS2004 to CFS2. It runs great on the newer computers.

It has a great panel..........for the above panel questions. The Aerodynamics are probably excellent to go witht the panel controls.................I haven't used it since I tried to convert and fly in CFS2.

and........I have not seen the 2004 version of Flight of the phoenix.......just clips..........

I still can't let go of the old classic.

Question is ..........do you chat at the CFS2 forum or over at the FS2004??????
