Hey guys,


Just to let you know, Im having a Hanger Sale.

Everything is roughly 40 to 50% off.


The Epic LT and Bellanca Super Viking come with both FSX and FS9 model sets, (pure FSX), so its a 2 for 1 at half price on top of that.

If you have some money burning a hole in your pocket, drop on by. Look for the blue flashing light.


Men with wives charge cards must show your permission slips so I do not get in trouble.

:ernae:


Have a nice Weekend,


Bill
 
If only I had seen this before I pampered my wife with some more DVDs, some scrap booking supplies and dinner....that Junkers sure looks amazing. But, how can a guy say "no" when the lady he loves is in a wheel chair, wearing an eye patch and says she wants this or that......as if her big blue eyes were not enough of a weapon for her to use against me...now she has the whole "one-eyed cripple" thing going on for her a well. Man, I can't wait for the day she is fully recovered and no longer has this terrible power over me LOL!

Now I wonder, if the situation were reversed, and I was the one who underwent a brain tumor removal...if I said I wanted a snake, a tarantula and a scorpion if she would get them for me.....most likely not.

Hey OBIO,

I hope you enjoy it.

Remember, you have the early version with early cockpit layout ,and then you have a later model with later model cockpit and more modern 1940's gauges. The first one is a 1930's plane.

So, you have the;

W33 with tires Passenger
W33 with tires Cargo
W33 with skis Passenger
W33 with skis Cargo
W33 with floats Passenger
W33 with floats Cargo

Then you have....

W34 with tires Passenger
W34 with tires Cargo
W34 with skis Passenger
W34 with skis Cargo
W34 with floats Passenger
W34 with floats Cargo

and a special edition W34 with wheel pants for Berlin airline hops.

Then...........

You have a ton of liveries as well, from Lufthanza to Canadian Airways and various other liveries, private paint schemes, and Luftwaffe paint schemes. (They were used for both training, troop deployment, and executive military transports).

All the doors and vent windows and overhead canopy sliders all open/animate.

They are great also for doing bush flights. They coast right in at slow speeds due to the huge wingspan and tall wing cord value. Just dont come in steep, as they are a huge metal bird and will pick up speed, but if you go to idle and keep your descents shallow, you can do some nice low-and-slow approaches into short fields. (Does a takeoff from Duene Island just fine).

EDIT: Almost forgot. You also have the famous W33 historic Bremen model with bizzaro flared wingtips, spoked wheels, and green tinted plexi. This was the second plane in history to cross the Atlantic, right after Lindberg flew it. These guys started from Ireland (3 crew members) and made it up to Canada and then down to New York, where they donated the plane to the USA and State of New York as a honouary gift from Germany. It was later restored by Lufthansa (recently) to a brand new condition, and is on tour in Germany, I believe in the Bremen city museuem, last I heard.
 
Have the package installed and have taken the Bremen model for a short spin around KMFD (Mansfield Lahm Regional, Mansfield, OH...my home town) and was amazed at the quality of the plane...exterior, 2D panel, VC...the VC is superb and the animations of the interior door and side windows is a huge bonus. Haven't fired up the other models and schemes yet...will take a month of Sundays to really delve into all that the package offers.

Glad I snuck this purchase under the radar and got it.

Thanks a bunch, Bill. :wave:It's just in time for my birthday next week.. I'll be seventeen:kilroy:.....again.... I picked up the Bestmann and the Tobago packs. I'm downloading them as I speak. I can get some more helicopters later...... Now, where are those darn bifocals... Thanks for your generous offer!:applause:
 
Had one of the Junkers float planes up for a flight in Alaska, hoping to bag a Moose or Eskimo maiden...both of which must be out of season because I saw neither one. Beautiful scenery, stunning aircraft. Took this shot. Sorry the details on the plane aren't showcased better....but the scenery with the Alaskan sun peaking over the moutain was just too good to pass up.

I have to take issue with this one: more than ninety people flew the Atlantic before Lindbergh, starting in 1919, eight years earlier.

The first non-stop Atlantic crossing by an aeroplane was the Vickers Vimy of John Alcock and Arthur Whitten-Brown; "Bremen" made the first East to West crossing of the North Atlantic.

Lindbergh's flight was the first non-stop flight from New York to Paris and was a world distance record.

Hey Kevin,


Roger that.. Hmmm... Just going by what I had read in studying it. I do recall though in a documentary on Discovery that you are indeed right.. I believe some naval planes, sea planes, also did this before Lucky Lindy and or the Bremen endeavor.

Perhaps there were technicalities.. Dont know.. I didnt write the facts, so I am kind of having to stand beside the websites and sources that I had read on about this.

What a scary flight that must have been like back then.. Off into the horizon, sea all around, no land.. at times, overcast.. no ships, no GPS, no phone to call for help.. Imagine flying through the night, mini mightmares of crashing in the sea, icing up, etc.. The actual plane developed oil problems 2/3rds the way accross.. Scary thought for them..

Hi, Bill!

Thanks a lot for this 'special offer'.
Just rolled the Bestmann into my hangar and made a first short hop above my hometown. She's that kind of plane that feels good from the first moment on!

And my wife didn't notice anything, because she's not able to distinguish the Hirth engine sound from my Taifun's Argus or my Chippie's Gipsy... :jump:

Cheers,
Markus.
 
Having been blessed with a gift of the Epic (by a site member), I encourage anyone who does not have this plane...and who wants a real hot rod of a turbo prop...to grab it! I took the plane up for a very short test flight...without reading the manual first...and was totally amazed by the plane. I know I was not flying the plane to its full potential as all I did was hit Control E, throttle up to 50% and take off....but even under less than ideal flight settings...the Epic is a hot number.

I killed the turbo, feathered the prop, and did a long, gentle glide descent and the plane dead sticked OH so sweetly.

Talking about "Hot Rods":
My Bestmann turned into a "best ever" Bestmann! :rapture:
Just fitted her (ehm ... him!) with a 230 hp Gipsy Six, left over from a Comet. Think I should add a larger tank too...

Good - better - Bestmann! :woot:

You bet, Bill!

Zooming up with 115 kn and 700 fpm and top speed of 140 kn at 3500 ft is fun! :jump:
Next stop at the tweak shack will get me a fuel-o-meter - just to make sure I'm not running out of gas too soon. Maybe some 'external drops' will solve this issue... :d

btw:
Nice pics of the Buecker-Werk and how is shows up today can be found here:

Hey Markus,

Thanks for the link. I have been to that site before. When making the Bucker, I was tempted to make the original airfield and hangers as part of the package, but didnt find enough details on the buildings and pulled back from that. (I had already created Operation Valkyrie around the Bucker, decided that was enough, lol).

I love those old hangers Germany had. Very modern designs for way back then in the 1930's.
