flightsimg Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 The German Dornier Do 17, with its typical 'flying pencil' shape, is here seen passing over the cliffs of Dover by late July 1940! The Do 17 was a 'Schnellbomber' ('fast bomber'), used among other usage, during the Battle of England. It's seen flying low to keep its ground track due to low-level clouds -- that view with: .boxed FSX Gold Edition with the Acceleration Pack .a free Dornier Do 17 .weather with the FSXWX freeware .the freeware shader adjuster rdart78 and textures set -- Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.

flightsimg Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the appreciation! Yes, poor Englishmen here under endured much! On the other hand any Spitfire in the neighbourhood would also have done hurt to that Do 17...

lifejogger Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Excellent shot Gerard!!!!!!!!!! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jankees Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Nice shot! Where did you find that Dornier, and is it any good? Slapping paint on flightsim models you'll find all my FSX/P3D repaints here and all my MSFS repaints here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightsimg Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Thanks! lifejogger: thanks for all the exclamation marks :) jankees: that's a plane by A.F.Scrub at simviation https://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=do+17&x=0&y=0 Testing WW2 planes for my collection isn't my primary worry on the other hand. I just have the plane into and make photos Most of the models, on the other hand, I found until now look about good, especially with some flight behaviour tweaks. That one might look good; it features a 3D panel (adding views necessary, for example). The sound seems slim. They have a improved version of that one, https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/14349/fsx-dornier-do-17/ With me, generally, in terms of planes, you enter the vast universe of tweaking :) Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.

NMLW Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Great shot of the Dornier 17 Gerard. The low level cloud layer gives it a sense of realism. :cool: :cool: :) Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightsimg Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Thanks Larry. Yes, the German bombers flew at a medium or high level during the Battle of England, but I made a exception there, pretending that one needed to fly low :pilot: Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.
