Getting there...

My rebuilt Classic FS is starting to look better

[Ian Warren]

Crikey Mike , don't think i've seen a DC-6 look any better

Dirty ol' thing... but the sim looking pretty good!
I have a yen to create a new base FS9 using Silver Wings, for that 1960's look.

Well, ectu-elly chaps, it's a 7C - but that is a very pretty livery.

Charl, the CalClassic stuff is improving all the time. In my old XP3 Classic, I used the SW textures for a while, but that tied me to the default coastlines so I ditched them.
Just before BigBeast's mobo blew, I could navigate VFR/pilotage at FL220 almost all the way from the UK to Broome. Good coastlines and good mesh are more important to me than the odd big city anachronism.

An old USNavy Connie parked there ... Hark , I say , must have been the left engine 24th rod on the lifter , they always give ya trouble

[emfrat]

Well the RNZAF folk fixed it quick - as I was taxying past, he moved out and nearly chawed my starboard elevator...of course, had I been driving a T-Tail, it wouldn't have mattered

[Ian Warren]

It's just the CalClassic AI - no special effort required. The newer stuff has HD skins, working flaps, wheels and so on. You do need to add the HD skins yourself.

Is there a good source for 1959 - 1962 NZ airport info, particularly photos?
