Retro flight pt 1

[Omag 2.0]

Sometimes FS still amazes me... for example why I've been so stupid to ignore this amazing model until today!

David Maltby's BAC - 111 ... simply gorgeous!

So I took the bird for a test flight, from Curacoa to everyone's favorite approach... TCNM - Or Princess Juliana on St-Maarten!



Waiting for clearance.... boy, now this is a VC!



And up we go, she climbs well!



Leaving Curacoa in a smog of jetfumes...



It became quickly clear that the manual autopilot is the thing for me... you set the rates of climb an decent and control the turning angles... and I had to watch the engines closely, cause they tend to overheat, and we don't want to end up in the ocean!



But it worked out just fine... after a while we were cruising at 19.000 feet, with mighty fine weather!



The awaited approach in pt II!

Cheers,

Omag

I wonder if we'll have one for the VC-10 (VC - how appropriate ) or the Comet next...  :)

Stunning, i'm a big fan of DM's classic airliners. Funny how a british plane looks better in an American paintjob! There are rumours that a VC for the VC10 is on the way, can't wait!
