peer01 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 My favorite French airliner, very well done Larry :cool::cool::cool: Both vintage airfield sceneries are first class. I installed Nice in FSX and I saw there's also an FSX classic CdG airfield for FSX. :cool: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Larry - Nice presentation of this aircraft and scenery! I've seen one of these aircraft before! I do like the panel layout of it. 2 tachs 2 MP's. the way it should be. I just downloaded the B-24 Liberator, nice flying 4 engine aircraft, however, all they have for power instrumentation is 4 tachs and they don't seem to want to run right! The panel on this aircraft is well layed out! Thanks for sharing! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
