Bombardier/Canadair Cl-215 / FSX

[Jetranger]

I just happened across this really decent fine "FREEWARE" Aircraft, the Bombardier/Canadair CL-215 for FSX, I got 1 with 8 different paint varients, and I painted 1 up myself, which you see here. it also drops water, has a decent virtual cockpit, all the Guages and a Cargo Virtual interior too. Decent sound package, tho I swapped sounds for a more Beefier Healthier sound package from one of my other aircrafts. I also painted up the inside of the Virtual cockpit a tad bit more, so everything isn't totally drab gray. Not to badd of an Aircraft for FREEWARE, tho I didn't NOT get it off this site, which I tried to do, but on here, there Zip folder won't let me open it to INJECT it into my FSX Sim, so I improvised a tad bit. Something to do this mighty fine Laborday Week-end, Labor away on Flight simming, that and mow grass ! The Jetranger

Interesting. How does it 're-fill' itself? By scooping up water whilst its on the water like that russian jet thing thats like this?

Well how I been refillin this aircraft with Water / H20, is I just been gettin out my Garden Hose and fillin it up, works really fast too !!  Naw seriously,, its a Sim,,, theres a switch / lever in the cockpit that kinda I guess simulates the Water tanks refilling back up and shows ya a Guage as to how full the tanks are. Its got a really decent Virtual Cockpit and Cargo deck too, surprised I found it, was just surfing around and found it, thought it be junk, but it wasn't. I added some paint to the aircraft you see above tho,, you won't get any aircraft scheme that says LA Fire on it,, that I did myself,, it does come with 8 different paint schemes tho ! I found it on Flight Sims web site FlightSim.com   I relabeled the plane Hanger 51, from the old TV Series called EMERGENCY, from the 1970's era if your old enough to remember Roy & Gage who worked out of the LA Rampart Fire division and were referred to as Station 51 / Squad 51 , was their Fire Station call name in Los Angeles, so I gave it the name Hanger 51.

I can recall as far back as 240 Robert on a saturday morning, and have vague memprys of some obscure TV show called, suprisingly, B.J and the bear. Cept it was a chimp. I think. I dont recall that emergency thing, but maybe it didnt show in the UK
