renault Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Ms2020 SU6 Bug fix update = Superb , 2 hrs later - World Wide server outage = Not so much So time for a little exploring ... Cheers R So I fired up my other sim - either one is my virtual doorway to the world after all. Decided to go to Oz . But it seems that the computer glitch affects everyone. They told me when I left the check-in counter that the flight would wait for me ... NOT! But then being the ever helpful staff that they are, they said we do MAGIC too and I said why not? Good-bye Southampton & many virtual hours later .... I guess I missed Sydney/Perth an Airline change and a lot of ground in-between, as this is Broome, Western Australia which is where I wanted to go Aussies do MAGIC too And here we are .... They let you up front as well if you ask. It might be old and worn , with a lot of "mechanical wizardry" but it does the job I love these old birds.... And after all this time, she's still here. The "lady in red" is a local legend in these parts She's always in the same spot with a cheery wave to welcome you to Broome Edited October 20, 2021 by renault 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John You know, I never thought much about it as I was putting it together. But now, just looking at it, gosh -- it makes your eyes cross!! What was I thinking?

Though I wonder how the passengers felt during your plane makeovers... They were all in the back with Manfred who was regaling them with stories of his most famous repaints. He is quite the raconteur Cheers Gerold & thank you.

No worries Patrick On 10/22/2021 at 9:30 AM, wain71 said: superb LSD inspired shots, very colourful too.... I don't know quite how to answer this. My purpose, flawed in hindsight that it was , was to use the two shots to signify a lengthy time duration during the flight and also to show that although XPlane 11 is a bit long in the tooth now, it still can be tweaked into something which for me gives acceptable graphics. It's always fascinating to see others perspectives on what one does. Thanks. I am pleased you enjoyed them Cheers Wayne! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
