Flybe to LFBE - why? Look and see...


Recommended Posts

This series of screenshots are Windows Snipping Tool window captures, nothing fancy, and I've left the FSPassengers and Radar Contact windows in view as well. The star of the show is the Virtualcol Dash 8 Q-400, modded, tweaked and repainted to the gills by yours truly. Also featuring: FSX SP2, FreeMeshX, UTX Europe, GEX Europe, Steve's DX10 Fixer, FSGRW, UK2000 Leeds-Bradford Airport, Aquitaine Sceneries Bergerac Airport, FSDreamTeam GSX.

Two miles out and there it is - phew!

Thanks guys, sorry about the small pics! I was trying to follow the guidelines on file sizes - it's time I got a proper screenshot program.

I think I've got the hang of it now:

With this texture I removed the baked-in shadows from the original, and made new static and spinning prop textures with yellow tips.

Incidentally, FlyBe will change it's name in 2020 to Virgin Connect so I'll have to start over... :p
