vintage aircraft and scenery screenshots

Good evening friends

I did some reflexions about this thread and took in mind what other friends posted me by pm.
This thread could perhaps disturb more than it would bring positive.
I perhaps did take a wrong heading with this thread.
So what do you think about?
continue or let the balloon fly away?

Best regards

I don't think this thread is a bad idea if you change the title slightly to ‘Our planes from the early days to the 60s (screenshot with short story only)’. And adding a simple rule: screenshots should be accompanied by a brief history of the aircraft.
This way, everyone can discover little-known or forgotten aircraft without duplicating the screenshots thread.
About retroavia, I'm a member. There are lots of interesting stories to read but the 2 or 3 active members are almost exclusively interested in making AI traffics in historically correct scenarios. Resources are sometimes mentioned and available on Mediafire but there isn't much and they are not easily searchable. No instrument panels, no models, no active pilots. As they say in French "C'est l'art pour l'art" but it's still interesting.
 
Luc, you'right. The most threads are based on AI traffic. That's what i did already before on an other site. Despite the enthusiasm at beginning, unfortunately interest became rar and rarer. I absolutely didn't intended to go the same way as other flightsim forums. They have their communities with their particular needs and expectations like hwere. With the end of Tom Constantine's The Old Hangar there wasn't no more possibilities to exchange and share experiences regarding virtual vintage flying.

But even if what I did up to now might be essentially based on AI traffic, it doesn't mean by far that members should do the same. Everybody is invited to post his flying experiences, as long as they concern vintage and retro eras. Everyone has his preferences, and these will be fully respected. Mines are AI and the challenge, how these could be use and explore the limits.

Regarding download section I have to point out cleary, it isn't a library. The section inlcudes some creations which for some reasons aren't published on usual flightsim sites. There are some community facilites, as well as documents and links of general interests. I bit more than in other forums. But don't expect more than in Retro AI, exclusively dedicated to modern aviation.

So let join us those which are really interest to conserve what names like Bill Lyons, Dennis Simanaitis and many others did for revivaling, at least virtually, the fascinating vintage era. Alexander Belov ("Aéropostale Raid") is also one of these and is still active.

I'm totally impressed by what you've achieved. Personally, I'm totally incapable of flying an AI aircraft from a standard airport to another standard airport. And I dream of replacing those amphibious Cessna Caravans with something else over Europe, but I don't really understand it.
So "Chapeau bas"

That's a very good question that I forgot to ask ;-)
I somehow have it... if it is the Avro Type F 1912. avrofv2.zip
I have no idea as to where I got it, send me a PM with your email, & I'll send it, :wiggle:

Bernard, I just sent it to you.. Check your PM

Thanks for the reminder where the Avro was hiding! I should have known it was here on SOH all the time! (silly me!) - & I've also got most of TOH.
Sorry, I did forget the gauges...
