VH-KDK Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Wonderful shots Jack. The ground scenery is an incredibly clear. Ah, the beautiful Albatross, one of the reasons I did not buy the new Hunter. I brought the Meteor and Albatross in close succession, flew them for a couple of weeks and then banished them to the back of hangar 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, the Albatros is still one of my all-time favorite planes to fly. I love the cockpit and the way it handles. You really have to watch your speed because the flaps will auto-retract. And those "coffin corners" will get ya every time if you don't have enough speed. I like the way you really have to learn to handle this bird.

Luckily I have a book where I keep notes, (start up procedures etc...) about various aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my Albatross sitting way back in hangar 7!! I need to get it back out of mothballs. Sigh....so much to do, so many aircraft I already own to fly, so many sceneries and region enhanced places to go....so little time! But it's nice to have variety too!

And they sleep on the wing. they're good luck for sailors, and they have a wing span almost as large as a 182. Amazing creatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Adam, that's based on a real plane they fly at Reno. It's called Pip Squeak and it always wins. Those guys are rich and these are their "toys."

Cheers John Thanks John but not much credit is mine. That goes to whoever wrote that AVSIM P3D tuning guide, PMDG's guide, Adam's PTA, and many other people much smarter than me. And of course Orbx for providing the most wonderful and amzing scenery you could possibly ask for. I have no idea how they do it, they're smatrter than me but it's well worth the money and as long as they produce I'll be buying. I'm really looking forward to Innsbruck, Buildings, KSAN, Southern Germany, and if P3D ever goes 64 bit what a simming life it'll be right?
