Thank you for your comments.
Take off from Phoenix airport, Arizona and go South West.

Thanks, Richard! Wow!

Amazing! Looks like incredible huge vacation/holiday resorts. Called Sun Lakes. What strikes me most is that it looks almost deserted ! Walking around some of the streets i only saw two people.. Also remarkable that in your shots there's just about no water to see around there. Sun Lakes ??... In Google Maps that has changed a lot. Bodies of water everywhere.

Never been to the ol' US of A myself but i'm getting the picture more and more now. Long live Google/Bing Maps and our electrifying Microsobo FS !

BTW, I like the penguins comments !

Hehe, your screenies are always very inspiring !

Hi ZsoltB
Hey this is wonderfule. And i very happy to see that my paintings are also flown, i love it. A wonderful winter atmosphere with the HB-IRI. Thank you for showing me, and my next DC-3 painting is in full planning.

Pardon my ignorance, I'm making the move to this flt sim platform from FSX. Is this a texture you have created and may upload for others to enjoy at some point ? Regards

Yes, that's exactly it. I still have to finalize one or two details and it will soon be available for free.
There are already several available here :

My favorite part of the 40th anniversary addon. Using laser scans of the original at the Smithsonian, modeled with milometer-accuracy.



Note the authentic graffiti on the fuel tank.

My favorite part of the 40th anniversary addon. Using laser scans of the original at the Smithsonian, modeled with milometer-accuracy.

It's an example of where a video game merges into being a piece of historical documentation. Not the first or only example; I'm reminded of the model of Notre Dame in Assassin's Creed Unity, which, although it proved useless in repairing the fire damage because of both resolution limitations (cathedrals are big! and hard to scan at 1mm resolution) and inaccuracies introduced for the sake of gameplay, was still a great educational tool and awareness raiser.

This is one of the vectors by which we approach the metaverse, assuming we want one. The MSFS universe already is the closest thing to an interactable world-sized realistic environment at a macro level, and through projects like the NYP, it can also be built up from the micro level. I do talks and participate in panels on this subject, and have started using a screen shot from MSFS as one of my powerpoint slides. This is only partly so that I can sneak my P-51 into a presentation that is supposedly about cyber legal and regulatory issues.

Of course, our little sim still has a long way to go before it can compete with this awesome fidelity:



But we can dare to dream.

Fantastic set of shots of the Ryan in your flicker collection.

Consolidated Vultee (Convair) P4Y-2. Commercial version of the B-24 Liberator. Notoriously difficult to fly and, if I recall correctly, the plane featured in "Fate is the Hunter" (a great aviation book by Ernie Gann).

I think the aircraft Gann talks about is the C-87 Liberator Express.

[rvn817j]

I think the aircraft Gann talks about is the C-87 Liberator Express.

I believe the pictured aircraft (and hopefully TankerGuy will enlighten us) is a variant of the B-24....as is the C-87. (Please refer to Wiki page for B-24 as it lists numerous B-24 variants including the the C-87C a.k.a. RY-3 a.k.a. PB4Y-2 a.k.a. P4Y-2 (the pictured aircraft N6884C being a 1959 Privateer). I get it...pretty convoluted.)

[tankerguy72]

I believe the pictured aircraft (and hopefully TankerGuy will enlighten us) is a variant of the B-24....as is the C-87.

The aircraft pictured is a PB4Y-2 Privateer modified with R2600s off B-25s and also the nose capped with the canopy off a F-86 (from memory as I'm not near my notes)

Yes, you are!

I'm reminded of the model of Notre Dame in Assassin's Creed Unity,

If you're into that, just in case you didn't know about it yet, you can virtually walk around ancient Egypt thru a 'non violence' version of Assassin's Creed Origins in 'Discovery Tour'. It is absolutely breathtaking. And if that wasn't enough already the same thing is true for ancient Greece. Envy you if you haven't been there yet.

They did the same sort of thing with Assassin's Creed Odyssey - a tour of classical Greece about the time of the Peloponnesian War. If you play the game to its conclusion, you don't see anything new, but you do get a commentary telling you all about the factual history and significance of the various locations.

Yes, I bought that when it came out, but haven't gotten around to doing the tour yet. So much to play, so little time! This type of thing is great to see.
