  1. Thanks Adam. Well done! I have not seen one in real life .
  2. That's very kind of you Adam .
  3. Well done Wayne. I find myself too impatient and prone to error to work on a beta nowadays. My last time was as a beta tester for FSX .
  4. Many thanks Landon. Various real-life events have conspired to give me time to sim .
  5. Thanks Landon. It keeps me out of trouble
  6. Looking good Wayne. I will purchase XP12 once the open beta has ended. I too hope to be able to use my XP11 scenery and aircraft in XP12 (with not too much to pay for conversion) .
  7. Thanks Wayne. It's a nice-looking jet I think .
  8. Thank you kindly Wayne .
  9. Thanks Wayne. Nowadays I travel around an airport before my first flight!
  10. Thanks Wayne. The livery was actually worn on RN201 at this year's Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow. I saw it and requested a repaint .

  12. Thanks Wayne. I must admit that the Valere Basilica just flew by!
  13. Is that you in the balloon Adam?
  14. A few shots from EDDW Bremen Airport in MSFS. This particular DC-6 G-SIXC was operated by Air Atlantique from 1987 until 2004 .
  15. A few shots from USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) in MSFS. The carrier is from Orbx partner - Miltech Simulations. The aircraft is a Grumman F-9 Cougar. The first F9F-6s were assigned to fleet squadron VF-32 at the end of 1952. The first F9F Cougar squadron to actually deploy was VF-24, assigned to USS Yorktown in August 1953 but arrived too late to the Korean theater to participate in the air war. F9F-8s were withdrawn from front-line service in 1958–59, replaced by F11F Tigers and F8U Crusaders. The Naval Reserves used them until the mid-1960s, but none of the single-seat versions were used in the Vietnam War. The only version of the Cougar to see combat was the TF-9J trainer (known as F9F-8T until 1962) during the Vietnam War. Detachments of four Cougars served with US Marines Headquarters and Maintenance Squadron 11 (H&MS-11) at Da Nang and H&MS-13 at Chu Lai, where they were used for fast-Forward Air Control and the airborne command role, directing airstrikes against enemy positions in South Vietnam between 1966 and 1968. The US Navy used the F9F Cougar to set the transcontinental crossing record on April 1, 1954. Three pilots from fleet fighter squadron VF-21 completed the 2,438-mile (3,924 km) flight in under four hours with LCDR F.X. Brady setting the quickest time of 3 hours, 45 minutes and 30 seconds. This was the first time the distance had been covered in under four hours.
