There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.
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 politicion 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 amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

A work-in-progress, but nearly done. I actually started on this one a few days before the last repaint I made - it took a while to get the spray-paint effect around all of the edges of the wings, tail, landing gear brackets, etc. I'll be including a historical depiction of this scheme too.

Golly miss Mollly that is one screenshot to look at, and then again for the subtleties... is that Vic Falls, or where?

Yes, it is Victoria Falls, by Parallel 42. I had always meant to purchase it, but forgot about it until this week when it was announced that it had been updated.

Here are some updated screenshots of F-GHLQ and a historical version I've also done, both of which are now available at Flightsim.to.
You'll find that on the historical version, the demarcation line of the camouflage on the fuselage, from the nose to the tail, is completely different than on the restored F-GHLQ. The historical version is my interpretation of the original paint scheme, based on the couple of surviving photos of the original, and I think is more accurate. Also, the markings are placed differently/more accurately, and the 'no step' and 'no push' stencils are of the more correct type face - while what you see on the repaint of F-GHLQ is correct to the way in which that restoration is painted.

Some more fun exploring around Buffalo, NY, mainly following the railroad tracks. 3D photogrammetry trains, crops and dirt hills are nothing new (they've been existent in the earliest MSFS2020 photogrammetry cities), but it's still fun to see. Something I have spotted new, however, in these latest city updates, is the attention given to cleaning up many of the photogrammetry bridges, so that they have all of the intricate 3D trusses and pillars - the photogrammetry bridges no longer being walls, but actually having space under and through them. Also note the 3D photogrammetric Ferris Wheel in one of the screenshots.
