Great stuff. It's things like this that brought me back to simming. Thanks to the late Garry, and to Ed, for continuing the project for another year.

We all owe a great debt to all the designers/painters for giving us such great addons.

Goodly morning Rich...

I was just thinking about why I had Deleted the Jenny off FSX.

I believe it was either a Default or Downloaded from a site, definitely not the one you have.

Could not get the simulated Jenny to operate not much higher than the STALL SPEED...was a real Dog... :lol:

Both Grandfathers, my Dad and several other Family Members flew the aircraft but I have only sat in one.

I flew the DeHavilland of Canada Tiger Moth...another wonderful aeroplane... ;)

I'm no expert but so far I haven't had any problems she will fly straight and at just under half throttle, with plenty of power to climb. I tend to stick to around 1000/1500 feet, seems more suitable for this vintage era. She's a bit flighty in a slight wind and can be a bit awkward on take off. As I said I not too skilled but overall I like it, I would add that my realism settings are medium with G Force and rudder help switched off.

I love the optical effect, Rich!

A scenic effect I often use in my You-Tube Motorcycle uploads to illustrate some of my Motorcycle rides in the 1940's and 1950's.....
....when the World was black and white, and sepia!

Lovely shots!

Paul....buried in the past.... :D ...!

Thanks again for the comments, must admit that I like the sepia treatment on this type of shot. It's amazing how we still think of the time before the 40's was in B/W. :?

Cheers
