All freeware, the Viscount i cant remember who's it is.. the VC10 and Comet are from DMFS. all flown in FSX

Kiwi , ya Viscount is of course by Rick Piper and Gary , Fraser and the team at CBFS forums , ironic that very scheme , a good friend lost a lot of moneys to back the 'Skybus' consortium ... , i must install my addictive sim VC-10 again , course your Comet , very surprised your not showing David Maltby's Wicked BAC111 .

Thanks.. Skybus was a consortium who basically tried to get around the govt airline restrictions back in the 70s buy creating a 'club' where you purchased a club membership and this entitled you to fly on the aeroplane. did not work, the paint on the aeroplane was basically still wet when it went down the gurgler, and never actually carried out a revenue earning service

Ian, i have the BAC 1-11 ready to go, and also the Trident to have a fly with aswell... im still trying to get my head around the INS in the VC-10 so i can fly some long haul

INS , i got pretty good with that in the old days and generally the only long haul was to Australia , only ever did one world tour and happened to be on a QANTAS 747 200B 1997 , took about six weeks going through the planning using very old flight maps and an atlas just to give me some sort option or point direction , I found the old world log drawing so to keep track , noticed many added had not been put in but that gos without saying for scenery back then ... INS was a lotta fun .
