KCD Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Colors look OKm it's a matter of personal taste, though. I see you're still trying to make that tank go faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer8 Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Colors look OKm it's a matter of personal taste, though. I see you're still trying to make that tank go faster! That's actual right. If I didn't have the Robert Hawk Modified Powerplant (Teledyne Continental IO-520-L), I wouldn't be flying this very much. Probably move over to one of the Carenado crafts that I have. But this default Cessna has RG speed and a bit more. It can fly at 1000 fpm at 140 knots with ease to around 7000 feet. Now that's not a turboprop and quite unrealistic but fun nevertheless! Working on a new gauge for it too. I'm kind of used to custom crafts anyway. Many many years ago, the saying around the flight line at Northrop was every aircraft is custom. They are very much the same, but all are slightly different as wing spars, longerons, or any non-aerodynamic assemblies would be allowed to drift a bit. That is, as long as the mold line was held. Ruled surfaces are important and line mods were occational, but expected. At least, that was the scuttelbutt. I suppose that's why I love KLAX so much. While I didn't work the F-18 flight line, it was attached near the start of 25L. Every once in a while a C-5 would come into to town to pick up the partially assemblies and ship them off to Douglas. They (Douglas) were the ones with the carrier landing gear technology and helped to modify the YF-17A, and so the prime contractors. Some of those engineers were just brilliant beyond belief. But that was more than 30 years ago, and really great memories!!! Me, I'm just a software guy :) EDIT: I had originally written 24L but meant to write 25L. It really was 30+ years ago and now am getting blind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyer8 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Mark, I really like your screenies! :cool::cool::eek: Thanks Peer! I'm trying to enhance the overall look and feel. You know what, I just noticed that you're in Holland. Should fly Schiphol so you can compare FS9 to real. Well at least see how close the imagination lets us get. Gotta have imagination until they come up with really fast liquid based processors! Thanks Again and Best Regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I'm still tweaking colors as the water around socal is green, and rarley a shade of blue. Best Regards and thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyer8 Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 Great shots there, you are keeping FS9 alive;):cool: Gonzalo Thank you and don't I wish!. There are soo many airports at home that would be great to fly. But I can't blame the scenery designers for wanting to make a buck and new sims may make their lives easier. Thank goodness for the likes of John Loney, Roger Wensley, and all of the others who have contributed so much and help to keep FS9 and the hobby alive. A special tip of the hat to Al Wheeler and his California Central Coast Scenery package. Although there aren't many detailed shots of his KSBA in this series, that is his East Beach and from CCC. That package has been great fun to fly and for many years! Best Regards and Thanks Again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
