Among other things, i love freighters.....unsung hero's.....Ive gone back to FS9 for these....REX went crazy with the weather, but i think it fits.I seem to get much better clouds with REX in fs9 , than i do in FSX.
Aircraft from HJG, POSKY, and paints by...too many to mention, but Tony Madge is one of them.

Thanks Ian....that was a great show, guess we wont see anything like that again here. sad.gif The delta scheme is nice (old and new) but i cant find a cargo paint for them.
Dont ya love all the freighter schemes.....seem to be more trash haulers than passenger airlines......

I love the freighters, seem a bit more relaxed to fly. Flying without that "If I crash I will kill 200+ passengers on board" dread. Like the difference between driving a bus and driving a truck.

Yes, it must be a great life....never really knowing where your going next or with what.
