    Pilot looks a mite tiny. I've marshaled these on the ramp before and overall, they are fairly small. Talking Citation II/Bravo sized. Mario's model looks like it's the size of a Hawker 800, if the pilot is the right scale that is. Not that I'm not going to fly it :-)


    Take my love, take my land, Take me where I cannot stand.I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me. Take me out to the black, Tell them I ain't comin' back. Burn the land and boil the sea. You can't take the sky from me. There's no place I can be.
    Since I found Serenity. But you can't take the sky from me...

    Saw one flying out of BUR on Saturday. It screaming into the sky -- only the engine sound alerted me to watch closely and discover it wasn't just another boring bizjet. Beautifully weird plane.

    downloaded this model but didn't get the chance to really check it out until last night.

    this one, imo, is MUCH better than the original.
    now - how about a beech starship?

    Sharing another discussion re Mario's continuing work on the vc texture resolution and in case some of the diverse and experienced talent here may also have some ideas.

    Well I've been to one World Fair a picnic and a rodeo and that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard come over a set of earphones.

    Sometimes it is not how beautiful they are, it's how beautiful they sound. We have one that regularly flies into KDAN (Danville, VA) and it has the most unique sound you'll ever hear, nothing that's flies over my house (on the KDAN flight path for Runway 20) even remotely has that sound, I know instantly when it's landing.

    Thanks a bunch, I do like the plane, one of the few small tubes that I do.

    credit where credit is due. We need to thank all who work so hard to give us freeware, whether you like it or not.

    I will have to say after taking this on a flight from Ketchican to Juneau (just got back from a cruise), this is really an outstanding piece of work! Many thanks from me.

    Now, Can SOMEONE do a KC-135? We have the CS B-52, Virtulava B-1, and lots of other aircraft with inflight refueling but with no tanker (FSX not AI). Come to think of it, there are no plastic model kits out there either. Not right for such a significant aircraft.

    Well, in terms of beauty I think we can call this one "special". I like it, honnestly.
    When it comes to the model itself, it's simply excellent, not only for its 3D shapes, but also for the textures, crisp and clear.
    The virtual cockpit could use some HD textures, that's true, but I think it already looks quite good for freeware. It's also very interractive, a lot of stuff is clickable and the plane is a joy for short to medium IFR flights. In fact, back in my FS9 days, I use to put it on par with the famous freeware TBM700.
