This airport by the Bay is just perfect for watching the planes come and fly away ......

IMHO, FSX shows KMRY much better than MSFS, with sharper detail. :encouragement:

Interesting to hear this. Jarrad Marshall's Orbx KMRY Monterey is one of the very best addon GA airports you can find.
 
Inspired by Duckie's repaints I did a repaint for the Alphasim F-86, which I purchased many years ago. Not Alphasim's best model, but easy to fly and good enough for me :biggrin-new:

A F-86 Sabre from 32 Day Fighter Squadron (Wolfhounds) over the Netherlands in 1955. 32 Fighter Squadron was stationed in the Netherlands at Soesterberg AB from 1954 until 1994.

Nice one Huub. I have a friend (retired airline pilot) who flew with the 32nd in 54-55. Never new he flew F86s until one day he wore his F86 lapel pin. Our friendship reached a whole new level! :untroubled::encouragement:

Hi Lee,

In my post (above), I show Jarrad's KMRY scenery available for FSX/P3D users from Orbx, but unfortunately not for MSFS users (yet).

So those of us still running FSX/P3D are very fortunate to have access to it, and all the sharp detail eye candy it provides.

I think I should have elaborated on this more in my post, oops ! ..... :confusion:

Thanks Steve,

When I arrived at Soesterberg AB in 1977 the Sabres were already long gone and 32 TFS was flying the F-4E. When I left in 1983 the F-15C and F-15D were already replacing the F-15As which were introduced from autumn 1978 onwards.

In November 1954 512th Fighter-Day-Squadron, which was stationed at RAF Manston moved to Soesterberg AB. Sumnmer 1955 the squadron was more or less re-named in 32 FDS, while the name 512th FDS moved back to England (Bentwaters) but only in name. From end summer 1956 the F-86 was replaced by the F-100C.

The name Wolfhounds was used by them as the original 32 Fighter Squadron was patrolling against German U-boats (Wolfpacks) in the Caribean during WWII.

Making reflective textures on this old model is a nightmare. The model has too much specular shine. Therefore I'm still not really pleased with how the textures show up and the rivets on the wings are far too visible.... The model was released already in 2007, when we obviously were still easier to satisfy.

Cheers,
Huub

Looks pretty good from here, especially considering its age. I think most of us were just as demanding back then it's just that the available technology limited our expectations. Learning the backgrounds and histories of the models we enjoy makes it even more enjoyable, kinda like a perpetual motion hobby!

Hey, MZee! Thanks for the comment. I haven't posted screenshots in a very long time. This is the Warbirdsim Mustang Tales P-51D. The repaint is from John Terrell, found with many others at AVSIM, and probably here too.

Thank-you, @downwind.

I have the A2A Accusim version and that would explain it. I'll keep looking and maybe down the road I'll find the clean, restored, airshow version. I currently have the non-restored one, so not all is lost.

Happy Holidays !
