I pretty much stopped at P3Dv3 for the reason of using Manfred's C-47, Milton's Howard 500, and MAAM's B-25. I populated all of the West Coast with Orbx.
It was fun developing goodness in some of those models! Now just a dusty memory.

Stearman is my favorite civil bird. These are the ones I fly.
The top Stearman was used by NASA tow bird.
US Air Mail was used in the movie "The Aviator" with Christopher Reeve, Rosanna Arquette, Jack Warden, and Sam Wanamaker.
The last one was a retired crop duster a few years later converted to a two-seater.

TuFun, is this one of your paints? If so, it's up to your usual high standards.
Yes, it is. I did this one a few years back around 2015, with all new rivets, screws, panels, and panel lines. Orbx Direct offers this Aeroplane Heaven F3F-2 for free.

My dad 1965 bought me a J.C. Higgins Model 103.181 22 CAL. Sears Roebuck & Company bolt action rifle. He had a Winchester semi-auto 22. Good times with dad target shooting. I still have that rifle.

Central Valley Cali here... normal weather for the summer. 100+ temps but not hot since it's a dry heat. Shade trees are a big help in covering the house.
Power bill $130... neighbors $400+... ouch!

sounds like a pain, we had fiber installed, easy job they said, fitted a box inside the house, all the needed was to run the fiber through the old pipework, not a chance, we had a porch built a few years back and the builders squashed the pipe, came back a week later and had to reroute the cable, then told me that as we live in a townhouse had they known the modem could've been installed on the first floor to give us better wifi on the top floor, nightmare sometimes how the left and right hands fail to communicate, and worse still because that's their field of expertise!!! allegedly..
AT&T sent out notices about upgrading to fiber that my area was available, but not so. And when the modem was activated the tech had to wait 45 minutes for the updates to load which he said usually does after the installation. He had to stick around until that was finished before transferring my old account to the new account.

I might add it was supposed to be a one-hour job turned into 4 hours. The tech looked a the pole and said there is no box and fiber wire. It was a block away on another pole. Had to wait for another tech for 45 minutes to help string fiber from that pole to the one in my backyard. This installation was a free service.

I remember when I first started flightsim back in the fsx days I was getting 8mb download and that was up and down like a fiddlers elbow and on and off as well.
So we have certainly moved on here in Emmsie Palace.
Cheers

I was at 1 Mb and if I wanted 50 Mb I needed two modems and double copper wire from the pole at $50 which AT&T doesn't offer any longer. Now at 370+ Mb. A whole new world of speed! 😃 They just strung the wires yesterday on the poles so I can get the service to my house.

LM apparently made some changes to the modeling of aircraft and wondering how this affects older models.
This is from iFly...
Hi iFlyers,
In light of the recent announcement made by Lockheed Martin’s Prepar3D team with regards to the upcoming version 6 we have been receiving questions about our NG & MAX Advanced Series product ranges’ compatibility with this new simulator.
No, the NG/MAX is not compatible with Prepar3D v6.
It requires a rework of the model, textures, effects, gauge displays, PBR and more.
We are currently in development with the MAX for MSFS 2020, as you are aware, that is our main focus now.
We plan to make the NG/MAX compatible with v6 but MSFS 2020 takes precedence.
We cannot provide a timeline for the P3D v6 compatibility or if this would be a paid upgrade at this time.
Happy iFlying!
Only members unfortunately.
