• 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.

DJV, if you want to get rid of that red-green distortion in the hangar, you can do a quick edit. Open the UserCfg.opt (two folder levels up from the Community folder) and search for the word Fringe. There are two instances of Fringe 1 - change them to Fringe 0 and restart.

Thanks for this tip Tom.


Do you know if it is (still) possible to get out of the hangar ? In the very, very beginning of MSFS, someone had a way of doing it

Very helpful, thanks. Never understood the Asobo thinking on the fringe.
 
I was poking around the Marketplace and found an "enhanced" version of the TBM that enables different information to be displayed on each PFD. The description says it can be hard on some systems, but from the frames I'm seeing, it's no problem here.


Just left TNCM on an air taxi run with a load of tourists, leveled off at 17,000 to maintain VFR, nice comfy cruise set with 85% NG to save fuel.

Holloman Viper waiting for crew-in at the Santa Barbara FBO this afternoon

I would love to add military starter cart and ground crew/equipment to scenes like this - used to be a breeze in P3D but I have no idea how to do it in MSFS.
 
I've finally got this one finished and uploaded today - it ended up being way more work than I thought it was going to be when I started. https://flightsim.to/file/52289/p-51d-mustang-44-73877-g-cmdk












Just read the Aeroplane Monthly article on Blakeslee John, what a great leader. Loved by his men disliked by his superiors, sounds the right balance if you only want to destroy the enemy and not waste time chasing promotion. Downloading now.

That is a great article! I had been planning on doing the repaint since this past fall, and when I read the recent issue of Aeroplane, it got me energized to finally get it made.

Back in the early 2000s, the History Channel had a brilliant series called "Battle Stations", which I recorded the episode on the P-51 and would replay it often (to get my Mustang fix, back before sites like Youtube sprang up). In that episode, there are great segments of interviews with original WWII Mustang pilots, one of them being Don Blakeslee. You can get sort of a sense of the character he had by his great responses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVCe2dZMc0w
