I got there the following year Tom and yes, General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) shares the runway with the base. I liked working days because during the week, the test pilots would take a 16 up to run it through the acceptance and it was quite a show and it was right over the rwy so I always had a great view.

I'm really disappointed to read a comment like that, and I don't see that as necessary at all. Warwick Carter's model is superb, as are the SkyUnlimited examples, which are fully out-fitted with all of the original cockpit hardware, and are also extremely accurate in reproducing the same 'lines' of the real aircraft (not to mention a whole assortment of Texan/Harvard/SNJ variations). Both productions have some very unique features about them as well. Between them, I can't pick a favorite. Here are some screenshots of the unique SkyUnlimited LT-6 'Mosquito' of the Korean War era:

Although I have Blackburns book in my library ,I've yet to read it. Sounds like that's now on my summer reading list. Strangely enough the Corsair is one plane that takes off a carrier without much trouble,so does the Wildcat but the Hellcat gives me fit's. Speaking of fits I had a total crash of CFS2 last night and had to uninstall it and reinstall,so now I'am rebuilding the whole sim.

I get it! Thank you for your comment! Yes, the beautiful French Skins! :ernae: :salute:

Hello, I do not understand! What do you mean? Zsolt

Yep, that's Lake Worth and I'm guessing that we still have guys who park their boats at the Marina in the morning on the way to work and after they get off around three. . .they head to the lake to go fishing till they can't see anything any more, lol. . . .excellent fishing out there.:salute:

Yep, for 21years. . . .lol

Thankyou so much for all the good suggestions. I will check the links and go from there.

Dave, that extension is simply part of the Photobucket link. Through Photobucket, if you want the image to display in the original native size, it has to have that "~original" extension at the end - "original" refers to that fact that the image will be displayed in its original size, rather than a smaller size. This has nothing to do with SOH, and is no 'meaningful act' other than to just have the image display in its proper size.

OK then, you'll find my paint on Ozx

Thank you Vin for posting this thread! Just a bit less than a month ago I made a post in the FSX forum to mark the anniversary of the day that the 'Spirit of St. Louis' first flew. Amazing to consider that less than a month after its very first flight, Lindbergh was setting off across the Atlantic with it (having first just crossed the United States). The aircraft would be retired almost exactly a year later from that first flight, having only ever been piloted by Charles Lindbergh - with the exception of a short flight that Lindbergh's good friend Bud Gurney made with the aircraft shortly after Lindbergh had returned from the Atlantic flight, so that Bud could see how she handled (Bud had done some barnstorming with Lindbergh in the early 20's (as depicted in the Jimmy Stewart movie)).

Yes, he flew both Corsairs and P-38s on some missions in the South Pacific as a civilian. The (award winning) FG-1D Corsair operated by the Texas Flying Legends Museum pays a bit of homage to that fact, with 'Col. "Slim" Lindbergh' scribed under the canopy (on an otherwise 'standard' Pacific theatre three-tone paint scheme), with three kill markings, representing the number of Japanese aircraft that are believed to have been shot down by Lindbergh. http://www.texasflyinglegends.org/whistling-death-fg-1d Considering Lindbergh's age at the time of WWII, and the general ages of those in the service, he was quite an old guy at the time. Some photos of Lindbergh out in the South Pacific during the war:

Lately I've been practicing carrier take off ,so look for my new post on that.

Hi, Here today! :salute:

I purchased mine from FS Pilot Shop earlier today, and it's version 1.2. The download page says: "File Last Updated: Saturday, 18th May, 2013 @ 01:09am."

Nope. I did figure out the "pilotable" vessel and saved a flight with the carrier in Puget Sound. But as for the LSO, he's got pretty stiff arms by now. :icon_lol:

I've gone ahead and uploaded the Mikael Carlson Dr.I repaint. I found a few more things to correct and add since the last screenshots I posted. For instance, the center support struts for the upper wings are the dark green, rather than the light blue. I also added the stencils to the lower surfaces of the wings. A rather cool coincidence about this aircraft, is that the Wk. No., accurate to the specific example it is marked to represent, is 1987 (the year I was born).

Here you are, Tom: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=34&linkid=16369 Thank you Paul for this latest version of the Duck - I can't wait to take it up for some new flights and splashes.

don't worry Frank, mine was not a serious attempt at repainting the IIIB, just having fun. Since I fly almost exclusively over Oz, I felt a RAAF bird was lacking. This took about 20 minutes, and was meant only for myself

I guess I should just bite the bullet and see what I need to do to get all my config files up to speed. It would at least remove one of the irritations about using ATC.:salute:

I can understand the frustration, considering that I use ATC quite a bit (why, I have no idea. . .it's not very good) and wonder why the controller doesn't recognize my airplane. In my case. . .it's ignorance, pure and simple. I just never took the time to understand the config file and how to make it correctly interact with ATC. In the case of developers, both freeware and payware...I have often heard them say that they rarely get to fly for fun anymore because they're always working on the next model and when they are flying it's only to check out the progress of their latest updates and corrections. . .they really aren't concerned with ATC. Looking at folks who do repaints, like SteveB says. . .most are done for free for others to enjoy and making sure that each skin has the proper config information so it shows in the sim is the primary concern. There are more than a few simmers who find the basic ATC in both FS9 and FSX pretty poor really and so they either try to find other ATC addon programs or just put up with what the default ATC gives them. The frustration level is pretty high anyway and so the fact that the controller doesn't say my "type" becomes almost secondary to why the controller insists on getting me to "please expedite your decent to 5000", when I was 20,000 30 seconds ago and I'm in a C-5 Galaxy.

Very nice bird, thank you!

Very good news, Cody.. Hats off to Ant for this outstanding plane, and to you and the rest of the talented painters for all of your hard work...:medals::icon29::guinness::salute:

Nice!!

Nice day for a cruise in Puget Sound, BTW

Thank you, Milton.

This is per the manual on the various panel.cfg files.. To activate and animate the LSO, add the following lines to the panel.cfg for the aircraft you wish to use with the CV-6. WindowXX=Batsman //--------------------------------------------------------

OK, if you want more...this one was on my to-do list for a long time already: same squadron, different aircraft, the first of a series of "Snortin' Bull" s flown by Captain James A. Mullins:

No bad news here, Francois. I'm ready when you and Simon are ready. :applause: The expansion pack looks great.
