leuen Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Lynn and Bill Lyons took us far way back to the golden days of aviation. And a lot of others brought the fascinating Rowing Thirties in our life.

anaismith Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Yes MS definitely peaked freeware wise with FS2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallcott Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Yes MS definitely peaked freeware wise with FS2004. Disagree: FSX was much improved... incremental development may have achieved P3D but MSFS is DEFINITELY two steps back, and only 0.1 forward...

ViperPilot2 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I forgot to mention Miltom Shupe; he personally helped me out with a couple of his models which made them one of my favorites to fly. The Thread got me thinking if there were any others, and I came up with a few more. please forgive me if I get names wrong or mixed up... Frank Betts Andrew Loney And all the others who created all those little Scenery bits for Alaska, which makes flying there much more interesting and somewhat realistic. Bush Flying Unlimited Alaskan Winds (These guys gave a purpose to fly in Alaska; BITD it really gave me something to look forward to doing every day... something I"m trying to rekindle this time around.) DC-3 Airlines (They're still around, and if you have even a meager taste for flying the Gooney Bird, they're a great place to log some hours with, and re-create the 'golden' days of flight. The DC-3 flew everywhere on a regular basis up into the early 60's, and folks still fly them in Colombia to this day. You know how many airlines there were in the 40's and 50's using the DC-3?) Sorry about the plug. They're one of the only places left that cater to us Niners...
