Nice'n'tender does it

You may already be aware of the stunning early '60s LFMN Nice Cote d'Azur scenery that Harry Biard, Johan Dees, Jaap de Baare, Wolfgang Gersch, Nikko Yaginuma and Tom Gibson recently made available from California Classics.

Harry, Jaap and Bernhard Leuenberger have since added a little red crash tender...





...that goes scuttling about the place! (It is solid too. First time I went there after installing it, hit it with the Caravelle with dire consequences).



It zooms up and down with realistic French panache! (Note the oil patches, you can almost smell them). I flew from the real Nice Cote d'Azur in 1974 (on what must have been one of the very last of the aging Caravelles) and can vouch that those geniuses at Cal Classics have perfectly captured the local atmosphere. This Air Inter Caravelle III dates from '68 (when the 8-year old Ralf flew to France, but missed introduction of the Mk IIIs by a few months), the scenery is specifically 1963.



Elegant Mad Men-style people wandering about the tarmac. (It's not a set of golf clubs, but a fire extinguisher on the right).



This is just soooo cool. Wish my clunky old PC & frayed graphics card could do it justice, but it all works beautifully and is very, very easy to download and install.

...And really looking forward to the upcoming Cal Classic early '60s Central Europe!
 
That's kind of cool. I wonder how they got the truck to ride around the airfield...mini-AFCADs and flightplans?
 
Just got the update for Nice. As soon as I get France reinstalled in my work-in-progress FS 9 I'll check it out.

Nice screen shots by the way.
