Hello again

So there we are, in Belgium.
The move was succesful, my computer and FSX seem to be up and running, and all I need to do now is unpack huge amounts of boxes. Why does one need so much stuff?
The movers started complaining about my library, ('nobody can read this many books...'), but that got through as well. Now for sorting everything...
To celebrate, I thought I'd see how many Belgian aircraft I had in my sim, but clearly I have been neglecting my new home country a bit, as these were all I could find:

and I think these count too:

That's it...anybody know of any other nice Belgian aircraft/paints?

JanKees, it good to see you have survived the journey to Brussels.

Now you are there visit the Royal Military museum in the Jubelpark in Brussels. It is full with interesting Belgian aircraft!

For FSX, Anthony's beautiful Tiger Moth comes with texture for the red Belgian Moth. Manuale Villa's Fiat CR42 (for FS2004, but works nicely in FSX) comes with a Belgium livery. The Belgiums flew the Gladiator and the Hurricane in 1940.

After the war I think they flew with almost every thing produced!

Cheers,
Huub

A real cool belgian fighter was the Renard fighter. Only 3 prototypes were built. However I can't recall I ever saw a FS model from one of them.

Glad you made it in one piece, with your sanity intact, JanKees! Nice to see you online again.

No doubt one of those boxes has all your sim paint brushes in it!

Well a large porn collection is thought to be a thing of the past since the invention and implimenation of the internet

I never read those - just look at the pictures

I think I'll contact my broker tomorrow and see if he can get me invested in some Belgian paint factories.

That Renard does look neat...
Another Belgian aircraft that I'd love to see done for FS9 or FSX would be the Fairey Fantome... one was made for FS2000 and not since... It's like a sleeker, souped-up Hawker Fury... Only 4 prototypes made of this one.
