FS2004 Screenshots Here!!!

Thanks for the nice reaction guys, and Wombat thanks for posting the beautiful screenshots.

I'm really surprised to see how much interest there still is for this 16 year old model. As said the model contains some errors and shows its age. In fact the old model by AH looks better than the real thing :encouragement: as the ugly things were left out :biggrin-new:

For the FSX and P3D users I can recommend the 2018 release of the AH Bulldog. It is more accurate and has the advantages of the more modern sims.

Cheers,
Huub

Please mind that this is the FSX model......

F86E by Section F8, arguably the best of the Sabres released and free as well.
And plenty of quality repaints around.

Time for a change..

I've been painting and flying Connies since last October, interspersed with Nigel's Avro's and a few other fun airplanes, but was bitten by the rotor bug a few days ago.

Stumbling across a photo from the past rekindled my passion, so I rolled up my sleeves and cranked out a couple of full paints.. "retro" Jet Rangers... including that one in the picture I found from 1967.

Did my best to backdate Owen Hewitts JetRanger III to one of the first of the breed.. serial #45 to be exact. CF-WDH, as she looked in the summer of 1967, at King city Airport, just north of Toronto...

I had to resort to a bit of 'artistic lic. in order to get some textures to meet properly.. or at least. not look too bad... and allow for 'deviations' in FS model to real deal.. but dang..I'm happy!! Reliving a bit of my aviation oriented childhood!

I forgot just how labour intensive heli's are to fly...... okay LAND... in FS9.. and THIS one has a very nice stable air file add on!!

That's not fromCrimson Skies. That's one of the many planes from the Blackhawk Project.

Actually Robbie, that paint is straight out of the box by Aeroplane Heaven, pre dates the Garry and Ed Blackhawk Project by some years.

I've had this little heli for quite some time. Owen did a very nice job 'replacing' the default one (which looks HORRID!!), and I have to remember that this was back in 2005 when I first grabbed it. The BASE pack for Owens Jet Ranger III was available through a couple of rotor sites, (Eagle Rotorcraft for one) and FS.com (where I picked up the better flight handling characteristics.. new air file by David Gibson, and cfg. rework by Michal Lubiscak)

I can't get hold of Owen, and he was quite adamant back then about his base file showing up on other sites, so if I offer up this pant, and MY multi-layer paint template for this early Bell 'factory' scheme, anyone who wants the heli is going to have to go to FS.com (or other sites that have them) and download the original Owen Hewitt Bell Jet Ranger III pack, and the 'low skid' model pack by Dodosim as well. I'll include the updated cfg. and AIR file with the paint.. it makes such a difference!!

I would specify all of this in the 'read me' :)

cheers

Oops, sorry, Pete, I apologise profusely. I was not aware.

No problem Robbie... its the fin and rudder that give it away, Ed and Garry's one has blue colour, whereas AH is red (goes and looks at screenshot again), incidentally Cazzie did a couple of Blackhawk paints for the early AH Grumman F3f too.

Kittyhawk 737-800

Have had lots of fun discovering and downloading loads of liveries for this beauty. Couldn't find a Finnair livery so decided to have a go myself. Just out of the paint shed and basking in the sunshine.

I'm still using that model even though there are other 737 models out there

Hi Darren,

Yep, I have several of the other freeware and payware 737 examples too. It's nice nice to find freeware models for FS9 of this quality even though they are years old and passed me by back when they were originally released :)

anyone who thinks there are only 2 creators of ng 737 for this sim should look again

kittyhawk
tds
posky
pmdg

all have NG versions...which makes me wonder what to do and which to upgrade to...some i have of kityhawk some i have of posky and some are with pmdg so its a mix
 
Why stick to just one when there are so many to choose from? Others of note IMHO are:



TinMouse II 737-200 - superb


iFly 737s - superb


Aerosim's Classic Liners Vol.1 - dated but still worth a look


Ariane's 737NGs - dated and costly so caution advised


Fifty North Simulations 737s - no VC but I like the models


Overland fly into the sky, Boeing edition - pretty darn good


Level-D 767 - I know, I know, it's not a 737 but it's a classic
