peer01 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The Dassault MD-311 "Flamant" (Flamingo) is a light twin-engined transport plane, there was a need for an "Colonial Communications Plane" directly after WW2. First flight was in 1947, 325 were built, it was powered by 2 Renault Snecma 12 engines, they were withdrawn from active service in 1981. A virtual flight from Peau (South France, near the foot of the Pyrenees mountains near the Spanish border), to Bordeaux.

zswobbie1 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 There's a Dassault MD-311 here in our library, as well as at http://restauravia.fr/html/creations_fs2004.html Which is the better? the latter is a far larger download that the Flightsim one.

peer01 Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 That counts Zippy! ;) My father had an "Ondine", the luxury version of the "Dauphine", after that he had several Renaults: the "Fregate", and a Renault "16 TX". Great memories! :) My first car was a "Renault-4" (with brake problems.....) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightsimg Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 It's one of my uncle who was Renault, and sons-in-law, etc. My father was better Citroën :):) I personnally only passed my driving license when 26 years old because I was in North Africa and found myself with no solution for my freedom of move :) Just to say that I'm not that cars. I appreciated when there, with hundred of miles with about no cars on the roads! But now in France, I mostly found no pleasure to drive Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.

I have driven in France:eek: the Southern region. Most of the places we stayed had good public transportation. Riding a train or bus was much preferred. The car was a Renault Kangoo diesel.

flightsimg Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Yes, mrzippy! I'm finally not a transportation fundamentalist! :) When a way is fine and agreable, I use it!
