jeh Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Great pics mate. I assume you have seen this one Cheese War Enthusiast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing_Z Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Thank ye! Yes, that clip is what sent me looking for an IL-76 to try. The pucker factor in fact increases somewhat, after you've lifted off, just over the piano keys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph29 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Got 2 questions about that last shot. What airport is that? I am usually good at guessing the airport, but I can not put my finger on that one. Also which C-17 do you use?? I use the Area 51 model, but I have been thinking about switching to the Virtavia C-17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wing_Z Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks for the comments! Joseph, that is Frankfurt EDDF, looking a little quiet because in my "military" sim, there is no civilian AI. You're on the money, that is the Virtavia C-17. I have all of them, but this is my favourite, because I paid something like NZD80 for it, and need to get value! The pucker factor in fact increases somewhat, after you've lifted off, just over the piano keys... I made a clip of this some time back; it rates as FS9.2 so doesn't really belong in here. FRAPS also ate the framerates, so it doubly doesn't belong in here! If you missed the pucker the first time, don't worry, the take off is seen again... and again.:pilot: If you stay with the follower clips, edetroit is the master of FS9.5 IL76.

Joseph29 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I wish there was a way I could compare the Area 51 C-17 with the Virtavia C-17. I do like the visual model of the Area 51 model, but the panel is looking a whole lot better on the Virtavia model. And I have no idea which model has the better flight dynamics. I guess one day I will just go ahead and buy the Virtavia model then I will have both C-17 to compare them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aharon Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 AMAZING PHOTOS!!! Is that payware Wilco A400M? Regards, Aharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing_Z Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 THANKS! ;) It is the Wilco model, I don't have many from that stable, but I thought this one pretty good. Now, one cannot really have a Lifter thread without the grandmother of all Lifters, the Mriya. It is really, really big. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h200/CHARL_photos/A380B747.jpg Look how heavy that wing: six engines... http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/673/qr1QV6.jpg Then, when the air starts flowing, the flex... then the bite, and it's flying with wings spread. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/540/wMIfOu.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aharon Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA where did you get such six engine monster plane with super shiny livery? Regards, Aharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing_Z Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 It's a Gary Smith repaint of Thomas Ruth's model. http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=an-225&categoryId=&page=2&filename= In my sim, I have the Global AI model which is wonderful to watch as it taxis in to park. The nose opens, the ramps roll out, and the nosegear kneels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph29 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I was surprised there was no C-130 in this thread. Which C-130 do you use Wing_Z? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing_Z Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Captain Sim... I was going to shoot some updated screens for this, but am currently without flightsim. And the Jahn C-47, and an AN-24 ...aargh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph29 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Captain Sim... I was going to shoot some updated screens for this, but am currently without flightsim. And the Jahn C-47, and an AN-24 ...aargh You are lucky! About 5 or 6 years ago I got a new computer and went from XP to Windows 7. Since I went to Windows 7 I have not been able to install my Captain Sim C-130's (I have then all except for the float version). When I try to install the planes I get a error message (I forget what the message was). Then this past January I got the urge to fly this plane, so I tried to buy the KC-130 again think a new password would get the plane install, but it didn't.

Wing_Z Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Makes me stick all the more fervently to my WIN XP box... Here's the C-130, haven't used it in a while, as brilliant a model as I remembered it. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/Z651J1.jpg Can't be too many places in the world this bird has not been, everyone seems to own one. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/673/kbbHaw.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/907/xFaGlQ.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph29 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Oh man I miss that plane! I have been using the Simshed C-130, and back in January I have found a C-130 made by ABSimulations. They are ok models but not as good as the Captain Sim model is/was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing_Z Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 That's a real shame - I can't believe no-one has installed this model in WIN7, must surely be admin rights or somesuch? Why not start a thread about it in the forums you frequent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph29 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I did start a thread in the avsim forums but no one knew what to do. And I asked in the Captain Sim forums but they just ignored the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I didn't do is a manual install, but that is because the installers I have don't give a opportunity to put in the install path. They must of changed the installers so you can't do a manual install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
