It's been a few weeks since I last stopped in at the SOH, so I only just discovered that they put up an Xplane forum. I'm a fan of both MSFS and Xplane and have been using Xplane for a few years now. To show a little support for this new forum I thought I'd share a few pictures from one of my recent flights. :applause:

(from Vancouver to Qualicum Beach)

Hey Kevin,


Great screenshots. Nice Ford! Or is that a Fokker?

Amazing countrysides in XP9. Love the water reflections and ships and green scenery. Makes you want to become a Earth conservationalist, lol..


Thanks for sharing the flight!


:rapture:

Thanks.

Bill, it's a Ford Tri-Motor. It's a free model too, by payware designer, Heinz Dziurowitz. Not quite as detailed as his payware models, but a great plane nonetheless. You can find it on his web page in the lower left under "Free Planes."

Jim and Harleyman, the buildings are part of Tom "Howdy" Curtis' "Inside Passage" addon. Though payware, it's a wonderful addon that adds almost every airport and seaplane base along coastal British Columbia. It's a virtual bush pilot's paradise.

Bill I wish I could remember if it was payware or freeware. I got it last year from the x-plane.org site. Google this and see what you get or do a search on the x-plane.org site:

Kbr, I just watched the B-17 "8 Ball" video.... nice. Seeing that you can drop bombs, is combat doable in X-Plane? Also saw smoke from a shotup a/c in the Spitfire section.

That Beech 17 Stagger Wing..... gorgeous, and free too.

Me likey likey. :d

Nice pictures, Ted.

Bill, no problem, glad to help.

GT182, I'm not sure as I haven't seen it done, but it seems like it should be possible to simulate combat in Xplane as there are a number of extra combat like options in the Plane-Maker menus.
