peer01 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The French built Bloch MB-220 was introduced in 1938 and the last ones were retired in 1950. 17 were built and they were a kind of a French DC-2 design. They were used by Air France and during the war by the Air Force. At least 5 survived the war. It's a "simple" FS-9 plane but I like to post it, because I saw what was left of the fuselage of one at Nimes airport in the 70's. Here's a short flight from St. Yan to Aix-les-Bains. (Click on the pics to enlarge them) Freeware Bloch-220 FS9 ( this Air France livery and a military camo one) Default FSX scenery Freeware St. Yan airport Freeware Aix-les-Baines airport Freeware HDE-V2 clouds The rest of the flight and the landing at Aix-les-Bains in the reply***** [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCD Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Great airplane, Jan, one that's seldom seen. Great post too, and very nice that you didn't bend the nose when landing! I'll leave now before you threaten to bend my nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mallcott Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Why is there a 2-bladed prop blur on a 3-bladed prop? Curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 I tried everything, used every kind of FSX prop textures I have, nothing changed. Curious indeed. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I tried everything, used every kind of FSX prop textures I have, nothing changed. Curious indeed. I tried a couple of prop.bmps that I had in my back pocket. Most made a change. The best one I found was close to a 3-bladed blur but not quite. It came from my B-36 Peacemaker.

NMLW Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 You sure do dig up a lot of interesting old prop birds Jan. A fine flight in this one and you have captured it beautifully. :cool: :cool: :D I've tried moving a lot of my prop fleet into FSX and have experienced the same problems with prop textures. I've also invested a lot of time customizing panels in FS9 only to find that a number of older gauges don't work in FSX. While work is being done to convert some FS9 Retro scenery to FSX, it will be a long time before it will be worth my time to use FSX.
