Redwing 1930's, Le Bourget. pardon my french.
There are quite a few 1930's airports from Redwing in the MSFS Marketplace. Quite reasonably priced. They all look like the screen shot with various differences in buildings and static aircraft.Wow ! More beautiful MSFS scenery to add to my list.Thank-you, for spotlighting it here, @dvj.https://redwing-copter.com/
To illustrate a point I made about why you shouldn't just a plane's shape from screenshots, this is the same plane, in the same spot, both shot with the drone camera. The first image is with the default camera settings, 50% zoom. The second image is at 90% zoom. No other changes to the image other than adjusting the zoom. (And having to move the camera farther back for the higher zoom.)
The default camera settinng distorts the heck out of a plane's shape, and I see lots of shots, even from devs, that are taken at the default zoom setting. So it's something to consider before getting upset at a distorted aircraft shape from pre-release screenshots.

Well, ain't that just a tad too extreme, Denny ?.. No one in his right state of mind is going to complain about the shape of something using that kind of extreme zoom.
The thing is, that "extreme" zoom? That's the default 50% zoom. Yes, I zoomed in closer than default, and it's an ultrawidescreen monitor, and those exaggerate the effect further. But until you get to the realm of 90% zoom, there's some distortion, which is my point. Until you either fly the plane, or actually see video of it that pans around the exterior, it's best to give the designers the benefit of the doubt.
Anyway, the Phantom discussion is what made me think about pointing out the zoom issue, but I posted it here more thinking it's a good tip for people making screenshots.We can start a thread about best screenshot practices if we want to discuss techniques, etc. Might be a fun discussion!
In the meantime, to get back on track, I've recently gotten addicted to FSEconomy,
Lately I've been flying the G-44 Widgeon, with a superb Jankees paint scheme, around the Juneau, AK and BC area.
