April Screenshot Comp - 2nd Place - REPRISE

Postby Adamski » Fri May 15, 2015 3:35 am

I've been messing with flight sims since "Aviator" on the BBC Micro (yes, I'm that OLD folks!!). I shudder to think how many I've bought - and how many add-ons I've bought for them. No wonder I'm old and *broke* :blink: :wacko:

Inevitably, a fair few of these have been for MSFS - and now P3D. Of all the developers I've ever had dealings with, A2A are pretty well off the scale in terms of quality, support and general friendliness. My pocket money flies their way within minutes of any new release. I wish everything in life was that simple!

When sending me my prize (the P3D C-172) Lewis kindly said that I might get more value out of the voucher as there was a sale on. So ... I ended up with two for the price of one (ie. both free :D ).

I've always like the Heinkels - and always wanted to have this one on my system. It's not new, but works *perfectly* in P3Dv2.5 - more credit to the developers for doing a great job in the first place. So here it is ... the dreaded "Uhu" - an amazing aircraft that fortunately (for the Allies) came just too late:

Again - thanks to A2A for their generosity (for this and prizes they've sponsored in the past), to Scaber for graciously passing on his prize, to everyone that got me to 2nd place - and to Doug and NZFF for feeding my addiction :P

Adam.

I was going to say that is the 'cats whiskers' and a 'me-owl' I have this dreaded machine in my hanger, looking great, it would have been interesting had these seen daylight operations.

'Old' is a state of mind, but 'broke' is just broke. I know the feeling.
But really we were lucky to be alive and geeky in the early 80s, I think it was a much more interesting time than today.
Good job, Adam.

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'
