A: No
Q: Jets?
A: Uh uh
Q: Wheels?
A: Ummm, actually no...
Q: Biplane?
A: No
Q: Monoplane?
A: Nope
Q: Alright then, wings?
A: Not necessarily in the traditional sense, no
Q: Errr, it flies, right?
A: Correct...that's all that's required.:d:greenbo::d
 
Now that's what I like...

Buzzing around with the reliable DC-6 of my own private cargo hauling company above some more-or-less Misty Fjords or Glacier Bays - could it get any better?

How I like to Sim...

...in the altogether :d thankfully no pics!!

but seriously,as long as it flies and has a :icon29: holder I'm happy. Mostly it's anything from around the second world war. Or a V-bomber or two.

I've been spending a good deal of time messing around with forest fires...

Cool shots bgmarsh, I built that bambi bucket for the 212 and that's the first time I've seen someone else using it, it's always a treat to see someone enjoying something you've worked on.

Hey, cool!! And a very nice bambi it is too :applause:
I really like flying from the VC, doing the drop and then circling back around looking for the 'red stripe' to see how accurate I was.

The fire I use is just the sample one from the SDK with the smoke tweaked a bit. Know of any good forest fire fx/scenerys? I like the look of that one from your screen shot.

I'm currently working on modelling all the primary Tanker Bases in BC and designing some forest fire related objects like helipads, forest fire effects etc. Only problem is, it will be for FSX.

Oh great, now I'll have to make a choice.

1: Spend a bunch of money on computer upgrades so I can run FSX and what I'm sure will be some great scenery from you.

OR

2: Spend countless hours learning how to create fx and scenery for myself.

Where's my instant gratification!!! :icon_lol::icon_lol:

Have to second the V Bomber bit.

Seem to recall a screenshot of a certain someone launching one off an aircraft carrier though.
 
Wonder who that was?

It may have been easier to do that for Black Buck, adapt a carrier and Vulcan to do that, than it was to do it the way it was done lol, Vulcan 607 is a great read, looking forward to the follow up about forgotten Buccaneer missions.
 
You mean Phoenix Squadron?

That is a good book, not quite as engaging as Vulcan 607, in my view, but still interesting. The photos of Ark Royal steaming through heavy seas at top speed are impressive. The description of the Buccaneers being intercepted on the way back from their mission by the USAF is somewhat interesting too.
 
that's the one, haven't got it yet, got a few others to read first, not enough hours in the day!!
 
nice pics there, my main chopper i fly in FS is the CH-47 'Chinook' (my own personal scheme of course) might get a pic of that out at Al Jubail (i think thats where i left it) when i fly a certain type i like i save flights as i go, that way i can easilly resume where i was without having to remember where i was... kinda handy... plus things don't get much more fun than fast roping from a chopper :applause: keep the pics coming guys this really is showing how diverse the sim community is:icon29:
