    Thanks Frank and Alpasim!!!:ernae:

    I've wanted to try the C-141 for some time, AND there's quite a few repaints for it at flightsim.com. I know what I'll be doing tonight!:d

    THANK YOU!

    Thanks. Has anyone tried the C-141B in FSX? The C-141A works OK after I fixed the gauges but the B model does not display at all. The F-3D woks GREAT in FSX. Regards, Bob.

    Thanks to Phil and the rest of the Alphasim crew for the early Christmas presents!

    I always hated flying in the C-141 as it was pretty uncomfortable (either too hot or freezing cold) on long flights, particularly with inflight refuling and inflight rigging and JMPI of the parachutes and equpment. When the long awaited and eagerly sought parachute jump and blessed escape from the Starlifter finally came at the end of the flight, it was a relief. Now, I can fly in it in the comfort of my home with a cup of coffee and a nice 70 degree temperature.

    Thanks again Alphasim!
    Keep your airspeed up,

    You're all welcome but I'm only the messenger. Phil should get the credit for deciding to release them.

    Will have to get the Firebrand and MB.5!

    The Skyknight is a wonderful aircraft but can be a real pain to fly because the engines spool up very slowly; on the ground you will need to run it at full power for 2 or 3 minutes before releasing the brakes otherwise you will not find a runway long enough to take-off from!

    Fantasctic - A huge thank you to Alphasim

    Many thanks Alpha! I d/loaded the MB.5, a very fine a/c, not well known in aviation history.

    Thanks Frank and ALPHASIM!!:ernae:

    I have been flying the Alpha M.B.5 for quite some time. There is a bit of history of how the British Government and the RAF played a role in NOT selecting the M.B.5. But as it was, the jet age was at hand and WWII skies over Europe were already being ruled by Mustangs, Thunderbolts and Spitfires of later marks.

    The Firebrand is an unusual plane, to say the least, and really can't fly. Just that it's so ugly that the ground repells it. LOL!!:costumes: (No -- actually it is very beautifully reproduced in the AlphaSim Model). Glad Alpha released it as freeware, I was thinking about buying it a few months back.
