Do you get all the retro stuff at CalClassic? I am thinking of installing a dedicated fs2004 retro version

A great resource, with aircraft and scenery for 2004, FSX, and P3D.

I have quite a bit of their scenery for FSX.

You can easily mix HJG early jets for the late '50s and early '60s along with the CalClassic propliners.

Memories of my youth.

Thanks Phrog! Appreciate it. Will have to download tons of add ons, I look forward to installing

Sure can .... and I whole-heartedly agree with "PRROGPHLYER" :)

 

It makes for a great FS experience .... especially if simulating/replicating that late 1950's era when props began giving way to jet engines.

 

In this respect I've always regarded both TGCC and HJG as being a sister sites

 

Tom's scenery is great too .... in fact I used it to create "a period feel" in regard to the following historic flight re-enactment I undertook a few years back ....

Only thing I didn't employ though was AI traffic appropriate to the routing flown :(
