This was the real concorde...IMO...it looks prettier too with the Canards...enjoy...pics are customized with no Flight Environment...but only FSSky World.....and small bits of my own water textures









Compression raped the last one......ah well...hope you enjoyed my shots...
Cheers all,
Ashar

I'm not sure the AOA is correct in the last one, Ashar.

Nice shots!!!!  ;D

But those round things on the lat shot... really make me think of crop-circles....  ???

Yeah...and mind this was Egypt....weird isn't it?

@Rimshot: What the heck does AOA mean?

AoA is Angle(Alpha) of Attack. Those canards remind me of a cat for some reason. Especially in the third shot.

Angle of Attack, the angle between the relative wind and the chord of the wing.  Imagine if you were flying like you were and you pulled the stick back real hard, the nose would pitch way up, but because of momentum, you would still be flying in relatively the same direction, meaning the angle between your wings and the flight path would be much greator.  Increased AOA gives airplanes more lift, until the AOA becomes so great that it causes the airflow over the wing to seperate, and the wing stalls.

Hope that helped....

Thanks for the info Mobius

Nice shots there

The Concordoski looks good, but in my humble opinion its looks can't beat its european cousin's.

Just remember the soviets stole the design ideas from concorde.

LOVE EM!!!

Yeah...and mind this was Egypt....weird isn't it?

LoL.... Well in Signs... that movie starring Mel Gibson... there were crop circles in Egypt so...  ::)

Nice shots

There is a replacement land class for Egypt which would help you with the issue of greenery.

and the issue of repeating tiles.

It's freeware

Very nice shots Woozy. Congratulations.

Regards from Spain.

They are crop-circles, but not the mysterious kind... the result of circlular water-spraying... some farms use a giant version of those lawn sprinklers that go around in a circle ... sort of a large rotating water cannon with the spring loaded paddle that scatters the stream of water into a spray, just like the little lawn sprinklers. It's a simple and efficient way to water a large area. I've seen them in action- the twater gets thrown quite a ways.

I tried my hand at that Russian SST a long time ago; couldn't handle it.
