Bit of a mouthful, eh?
Up on AVSIM, one of the most beautifully crafted models you'll see in Flight Simulator.
Take a little time, look against the light, see the wing ribs shine through the dope.
Stunning VC...brilliant.

Great minds think alike, I've been soaring around in FS today in the default Schweizer, just thinking that I could do with a bit of an upgrade... I'm off to download this one straight away! Thank for pointing it out :thumbup:

By the way- what sort of thermals are you using? Did you grab a set off avsim, or make them yourself? Any tips or hints on FS soaring would be greatly appreciated.

Wow thats cool. The third shot looks like a B-2 Bomber B-)
It looks a pretty cramped yet scenic aircraft.
Great scenery and a perfect day. Keep the screenshots coming of this.

Cheers
Daniel

I'm itching to try this one out!

Two aerodynamic geniuses, those Horten brothers.
They later went on to create the worlds first jet powered flying wing: the Ho 229

Their work, along with many other German aircraft designers proved valuable after the war, and lead to many designs that we now see almost every day in the skies :)

Works in both sims =)

It's a very attractive model with really nice flight characteristics, I wish Condor had such beautiful planes.

That is cool! :thumbup:
Quite different from the normal sort of screenshots people post, but cool all the same.
Good shots too.

Cheers
