andy1252 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I really do hope all the Orbx stuff gets ported over to MSFS, the combination is magic. This is just a few shots from a typical day in the life at Darrington. You wouldn't think they'd need to, given the surroundings, but the local hardware store has a huge contract to import massive stocks of Siberian Larch. Once a week, the Mriya (with the special anti-gravity landing and kryptonite disk pads option kit) comes in with a full load (including a couple of tons of vodka - lumberjacking is thirsty work) for the Do it Best store, conveniently sited next to the airstrip for this very reason. It always causes a bit of a stir though, in a quiet and peaceful little town like Darrington . . . "Cheeez, I don't believe he's gonna land that thing" Trying to decide whether to watch or run for cover He's just spotted it too "Engage AG Landing gear, Comrade First Officer" "OK dude, but drop the Comrade bit man, we left that behind decades ago" "I can't believe he just did that! Straight down from 500 feet to landing in a couple of yards!" "and I thought this thing could manoeuver!" And the trucks are coming in to load up The plan now is for the Mriya to load up with chicken feed to drop in at Israel's Farm on the way back home. Enjoy! I did <grin> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taken the Mriya under the Golden Gate Bridge and now landed it at Darrington. Maybe Elstree next . . 6 hours ago, bernd1151 said: Great show, Andy. How did the wheels behave this time? Cheers Bernd. Different form of cheating this time, no actual landing involved, so I still haven't got that figured out. Still in early days of trying out that new converter you pointed me at, but I see there's stuff in there that mentions that problem so maybe I'll get it handled yet. That new convereter is a lot more comprehensive than the other one - a bit scary. 6 hours ago, BradB said: Great post Comrade Andy . спасибо товарищ 4 hours ago, adambar said: Well done Andy!

If you mean Darrington, it came out today/yesterday (Sunday) but if you mean the Antonov - that's just a converted FSX freeware model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
