• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Just too awesome to believe; Futuristic Air Racers...

I dug it, Bill. The guy is a great draughtsman with an excellent design eye.
futuristic plane racing, now that would be a great fs9 hookup.
 
Wow yeah those are very beautiful looking concepts. Any one of those would be an absolute work of art in FSX. If you think about it, in some ways the Schneider Cup era racers were like the Epic aircraft of the day. Not only were they fast and beauitful designs, they were the cutting edge of technology of the day.

Here is a vid of the MC-72, still the speed record holder for piston powered seaplanes.

Here is a nice Schneider Cup vid.

Here is the 'conceptual' Savoia and the Curtiss aircraft featured in the Anime 'Porco Rosso'
