One of my regular rides Dave.
I do like the 1950s aircraft, and Rob has done them justice.

Described as 'Elegant' a British pressurised piston, killed off by De Havilland when they took over Airspeed and runover by the Vickers Viscount. Got good run in Oz with Butlers Air Transport, another one from the 1950s thanks to Rob Richardson.
Thanks to DaveQ and Wombat66 for reminding me of Rob's Great Aeroplanes. The Airspeed Ambassador (now in the library here fortunately) works fine in P3DV5.2 (few minor bugs thats all)
Butler Airspeed Ambassador
Busy place Tooraweenah NSW in the 1950s.
Not sure if that is old fashioned country APU or the local taxi in the foreground. Airport at Tooraweenah in northern NSW in OZ is long long gone alas.
To be able to do that is what makes P3D so special.
What happened to Butler - snaffled up by Ansett and became Airlines of NSW, not Arthur Butlers doing - employee shareholders sold him out!.
Flight Replicas lovely fixed gear Heron, M Jahns C-47 and the JBK Viscount - all alive and well in P3DV5. Scenery by ORBX.
Dave Garwoods DH-89A(v4) ORBX AU2 with a number of island strips from SimMarket. Time to explore the world of Australian National Airways in the lat 1930s early 1940s. Pride of the fleet at the time the DH89.Rex Weather.
(SimMarket has a Very nice collection of out the way island strips in Bass Straight all beautifully modelled- Cape Barren Island, Badger Island, Inner Sister Island, Mount Chappel Island and Swan Island all for V5 and dirt cheap.)
A reminder of just how good P3DV5.2 is. No enhancements just standard shaders, EA and True Sky and of course the PMDG DC-6B.
A visual comparison between Rick Piper's HS748 and the JF version.
Both are good and both have minor flaws, I'm just going to fly them both!
Rick's (Free!) version.

I prefer Rick's version, but that is because I'm just a cheap bugger

Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
I seldom post night shots - very difficult to see properly (usually) Well this is P3DV5.3 Grimsey and island on the northern Icelandic Coast was the the departure point. AS weather and the real weather was basically CAVOK. The light and sparkling powder snow on the runway was pretty amazing, the stars actually had a slight twinkle to them and the early phase moon about right as well. Very impressive night scenes indeed. Weather reported sct cloud at a couple of layers near Reykyavik and that is what I got also. This sim just gets better and better.

Got the skies to ourselves these days with everyone in MSFS world! I know they won't be flying no wombat over there!
We have liftoff!
The amazing flying Wombat is airborne once again.

I needed a laugh, great shot Wombat666, never seen a wombat that animated! Yeah I want the grass textures too for P3D.
How is the performance and the frames? Looks very elaborately animated...
Best regards, Manfred.
Haha, I had no idea Wombats could jump. No offence Wombat
