I added space center BLVD (MUCH NEEDED), been around since flight sim came out. I also added the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, fixed landclasses, and the water treatment plant in the background. Thinking I might need to dial back the cluster of cars or trees though for frames, please someone let me know if that is not that big of a deal. The cars give them a nice touch, but definitely not needed. I had this airport tricked out, but had to consider frames..... and started deleting in mass. A quote I found online convinced me, FSX is a flight simulator, not a scenery designer. 1727672259624.png

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

As subject heading speaks for itself, I have not created and posted a screenshot flight report for long long long time so I am trying to brush off and shake off extremely rusty skills of creating screenshots

Presenting a screenshot flight report showing recreation of emergency fuel airlift conducted by Buffalo Airways' brand new 737-300F cargo plane

Here is interesting official statement now from Buffalo Airways (real life) and city or town of Norman Wells:

"We thrive on taking on unique challenges and delivering exceptional results. This year, with low water levels preventing barges from hauling fuel, we are faced with the critical task of ensuring Norman Wells receive their essential Jet fuel until it can be trucked in via ice roads.

We partnered with Sandy Macpherson and his team Buffalo Airways, utilizing their 737 for an air barge operation to safely and efficiently transport the fuel.

A big thank you to both our dedicated team and Buffalo Airways for their commitment to completing the first wave of this task efficiently and safely."

Tim "Piglet" Conrad's Raiden/Jack is still a really nice model. And I decided to start a repaint for it. After adding a zillion rivets to Piglet's included paintkit, I went for some different colours. As the pictures and movies from this aircraft are mainly in black and white, I feel myself supported in this choice, as I simply don't know better! There are many colour charts, but they all supply different colours! (as usual)

As I dislike the very dark colours of the default texture, I decided to go for the somewhat brighter "Deep green black" (well at least a sort of ;) ), instead of the very dark "green black" (a sort of dark olive green). Mainly because the Japanese didn't use primer, the paint of their single engine aircraft chipped quite a bit. I have been reading a nice article by Francis P. Weill about this recently. Therefore I intend to do an aircraft with badly chipped paint. So I still have a lot of weathering to do.

Weathering is roughly half the job, so don't expect any real results soon!

Cheers,
Huub

Sometimes, you put a lot of effort in a repaint and in the end you think: "Why?"

After days chipping paint I came to the conclusion I prefer the clean version.......
