So good to see Real World aircraft preserved in the sim.
The NZ Warbirds guys will love these!

Taking the Duxford-based PBY over to Old Warden today. I'm still holding out hope/crossing my fingers that an accurate and high fidelity recreation of Old Warden is made for MSFS one of these days.

Which Catalina is that?

Hey Ken, it's available here: http://frenchvfr.free.fr/download.ph...=808&tconfig=0 Make sure to read the area highlighted in yellow, which provides the username and password to access the download.

The developer, Lagaffe, posts here too http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...-PBY-5-of-SAGQ

Being a beta/work-in-progress, there's naturally some things that aren't quite sorted yet.

Thanks, I hadn't realized he made one.

I also took some screenshots while doing some "re-currency" in the C-45 out of Booker. After about a year eyeing them, I recently bought the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo yoke/engine controls, and it definitely makes for a different experience. I find myself having to re-learn these sim aircraft.

This is one of my favorite repaints for the Carenado model, done by one of my repaint idols, Marty Féron. Sadly the real aircraft was destroyed in an engine failure-induced forced landing and post-impact fire a couple years ago, on the island of Corsica, but fortunately its three occupants survived.

A bit of a Beech bias here (I happened to have my traffic settings set to low variation).

Staying a bit frosty while flying into Iceland. :-)

That looks like a frightening scenario there, Forest!

It was surprising to say the least. I've never seen icing that bad. Couldn't see a thing. Fortunately it mostly melted off during the decent to land.

Here are some screenshots from a flight inspired by some recent photos from a trip that The Fighter Collection's Spitfire Mk.V made to Mollis, Switzerland. The beauty of Switzerland almost looks surreal in the real-world photos I've seen, and this comes across well even in MSFS. We don't yet have a Mk.V in MSFS, but thanks to Flight Replicas we will have a superb example very soon. In lieu of a Mk.V, I used the FlyingIron Mk.IX.

It was a neat coincidence to see this guy sitting on the ramp when I returned to Mollis, the ex-TFC Hellcat (a Jankees repaint applied to the FlyingIron F6F).

John, your shots took me back a while, when my daughter Catalina (what's in a name) and myself managed to
obtain seats on the penultimate flight of PH-PBY before it went to the US. Excellent memories, too bad she left.

Hi,

First, thanks you for yours screens : beautiful !

Then as for the last photo or you pose with your daughter, it makes me very happy because I had to see on the Web and recovered these photos that are in my documentation of Canso for some time already. I didn’t know it was you

Now I can put a face on your speedo

Currently "the Canso is in the hangar", while I finish a job for Paul ...
