Convair-Canadair CL-66B Canadian Armed Forces (FSX)

I re-installed the Calclassic Convair 580, here's the CL-66B. It's still one of my favorites, what a beautiful bird this is. I hope you agree....

Wow! Those were times of plane journeys! Great ones

They look wonderful to me! I really like the head on shot showing the landing lights. ;)

Michael and Gerard, thanks VERY much! :):)

fantastic shots- very different empennage on that Convair.

Blair, it's appreciated! :)

Very nice, Jan, I like it! Wait until BOB A sees that Canadian flag! You should get an "Atta-Boy" out of this post!

 

Rick :cool:

;) Thanks very much Rick! :)

Very nice display of your Canadian AF Convair-Canadair Jan. I like most all of the Convair series. :cool: :cool: :cool: :)

I'm also a Convair lover, thanks Larry :)

Due to one of my PC crashes I lost all CV-580 repaints, so I downloaded and re-installed the whole bunch (including the updates). A lot of work, but it was worth it...

 

Here are some examples:

GREETS! :)

Always make backups of the files you use! 30 years in PCs :):)

Cheers! On the other hand, how are those kitty cats going?

Very nice pics, Jan! Yes, computer crashes are really hard to get over. Lots of time and effort goes into what we do on this flight simming addiction of ours. I went to an external Western Digital drive and I run Image backups of my computer on the 15th and the 30th of every month. You wouldn't believe how many times I have had to rely on those backups. Not just for computer crashes, but for "big finger mistakes" I make every so often. It does give me back whatever I manage to lose along the way and that's why I took the time to get it set up! Relatively inexpensive for the drive, more effort in doing the setup on the computer, but now I feel safe, knowing it's there if I need it!

 

Rick :cool:

Since my last PC crash 2 years ago I make double backups on external drives. Every now and then I miss some files, like these CV-580 ones. Thanks for the comments my friends! :) Gerard, kittens are all right and they grow and grow......Thanks! I'll post some pics soon. Edited May 12, 2019 by peer01

Jan,

 

They are great shots! And yes, you truly have an interesting hanger.;)

 

Having said that, being the nice guy that I am, I'm in Gander trying to put together enough cash to fly your green King Air home. :eek::eek:

 

A little help with your credit cards would sure help me out!! :(

 

Your friend,

 

Michael

Thanks for thr revival of this old post! :cool::cool:

Nice set Jan! I always enjoy a great classic!

Thanks very much John! :cool:

Can you please give link or send texture file for the Nolinor C-FAWV, USAF and RCAF CV-580 please

 

WOW!  What a great blast from the past!  And good to see peer01's face, well not great but interesting, as well. 

 

Does anyone have any idea if Peer is still alive and ticking?  I "borrowed" several of the aircraft from his "hanger" over a several year period.   Once he ghosted for a few months and several of us did  sim searches for his "water-landed" (read crashed) aircraft over several waterways around the world.  Then he showed back up again after yet another computer crash.

Either a new 'Flight Institute' is battling insurance adjusters for a totally unheard of number of airframes suffering from apparent water immersions or Interpol finally got tipped off.

Been looking as well, Rupert. No dice.
