Frank, During this trying time for Boeing, it was a welcomed relief to relive some of the glory days. What made this such a good review of the 747 was that you covered not only the highlights but also tragic incidents. And you exposed the viewer to the amazing scenery that can be found in MSFS. As always, well done!- 2 replies

Nicely done. "Felt" like the real deal. -
Lighter than air history is a story of great advances interspersed with epic tragedies. After decades of casual LTA research and collecting, please allow me to suggest a few websites to get your interest going. Luftschiffbau Zeppelin https://www.zeppelin-lz.com/ Airship Heritage Trust https://www.airshipsonline.com/airships/index.html Lighter Than Air Society https://www.blimpinfo.com/ Naval Airship Association https://www.naval-airships.org/ Excellent series on current considerations and status of airships. https://lynceans.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Part-1_Intro-text-and-tables_Rev-3_26Aug2021-converted-compressed_1.pdf And of course YouTube and Archive.og.

Looking for a scenery object, if it exists.
PhrogPhlyer replied to PhrogPhlyer's topic in Scenery Design
Thanks, I'll look there. No, I'm working on the Piasecki/Vertol facility in Morton PA. -
Would anyone know if a helicopter rotor whirl tower/stand or just a set of rotor blades exist as a scenery object for FSX or FS9? I'm adding a rotor whirl tower into a scene, it now has the tower, but no rotor. Thanks

FS2002 has a flat earth, FSX a round earth. So no. "Maybe" some of the scenery objects "might" be usable, but nor the scenery itself.

This tool is a must for anyone getting into retexturing your aircraft. For detailed explanation of all this texturing lexicon see https://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Texturing There is a lot of trial and error involved when first saving textures and seeing them work, or not, on an aircraft. For anyone starting to retexture, I recommend that you write down the textures/alphas you use for a given aircraft, so you don't have to relearn these saved formats each time. I found that doing several repaints of a given aircraft helped me learn the steps and I feel I improved with each one. Also, I exclusively us paint.net for my repainting needs. It's free and does everything I've wanted to do. And it opens PaintShop psd files. Here is the simplest tutorial I've found. https://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php/Repainting_an_Aircraft Good luck to those who haven't started yet.

This scenery is for NAS/CGAS Cape May New Jersey, USA. This field opened in 1917 and until it closed in 1998 it saw seaplanes, blimps, fighters, patrol aircraft and helicopters. Growing to a maximum of 6 active runways it ended its aviation operations with a single helicopter runway. The field is now the location for USGC boot camp and other training and support operations. This scenery has various aspects of all the air station through the years. In addition to multiple parking and the six intersecting runways there is also parking at the seaplane dock and a water runway. Also added is the Cape May lighthouse at the southern tip of New Jersey, south of the air station. Information about this field was obtained from the wonderful website “Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields.” http://airfieldsfreeman.com/NJ/Airfields_NJ_CapeMay.htm To learn about airfields in your area be sure to visit the website main page at www.airfields-freeman.com.

Nicely done.

Referred to as "vultures row."

And if able to fly yourself there, the experience is definitly enhanced.

On the links listing I've added any appropriate scenery regardless of the sim version. So there are some FS2004 links to be found there.

Concerning hovering and pedal turns. Never rush these actions. When I lift into a hover it can take 30 or more seconds to obtain the stable 5ft hover. Power (collective) application is as slow as I can possibly make it happen. I'm constantly scanning for, and correcting, the slightest undesired movement. Also, with any pedal turn, again, don't rush. A 360deg turn may take one or two minutes. Speed is never the goal in helicopter flying, it is smoothness and precision. You may even find that your airplane flying improves due to your new skill of strong scan and smooth corrective control application.
