Thomas Kwong, sir, are you still reading?I just found this on my Cathay site guestbook:Jan 27, 2004 - 11:12 - hi to everybody who like Kai Tak. I'm a retired Flight engineer of Alitalia airlines and I flew very often in the past to Kai Tak.I want to inform all virtual pilots, that the beautiful scenery Kaitak ver.3 of Thomas Kwong for FS2000 installed in FS2004 works perfectly and you can reopen all Runways & taxiways by the AFCAD 2.21 of Lee Swordy. By By Gianfranco Corrias E-mail: [email protected] Name: Gianfranco Corrias From: Rome Italy With such enthusiasm, you just HAVE to upgrade for FS2004 ... don't you? Puuuhhhleeeeeeeeeze?Mark "Dark Moment" BeaumontEDIT: Oh heck, put this post in the wrong thread ... I meant to stick it in the VHHH thread. Ah well, it belongs here.... hopefully Thomas will pick it up!http://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg

Mark, I want to take this opportunity in this public forum to thank you for the excellent and hard work you have done with the beautiful Delta Charlie Thu-rees and Charlie Fo-wer Sevuns you have made for us to use.You are truly a gifted gentleman...

Mark, I want to take this opportunity in this public forum to thank you making me download that lousy cathay pacific dc3 that made me crash just outsdide of kowloong, wherever that is....lol, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be anywhere near kowloong, wherever that is. But, hey, anyway, thank you...rgds, and I mean it,billg

TerryThank you very much for the kind words. I am really just a rank amateur using an ancient freebie paint program who because of a mispent youth has spent far too much time trying to learn how to paint aeroplanes; such work is all the harder because, as a real boy, I don't ever get around to reading tutorials. When all else fails, read the instructions, that's my motto.I have had a quick look at your site and was thrilled to see firstly, the quality of your shots and secondly, that you have used a number of my FS2002 repaints for your work. It is rare to see screenies of our beloved Delta Charlie Three-uhs as you know, and I was very pleasantly surprised to find yours. They are now bookmarked - I shall return! The Canadian bird (one of my own favourites) looks particularly glorious. Well done, and thank you.I was going to point a man of your devotion in the direction of DC-3 Airways, but I note from your text that you know them well enough. Are you on the roster? I'm a frequent layabout in the forums over there, in any case, at:http://www.dc3airways.com/wwwboard/wwwboard.htmlIf you're not a pilot with them, perhaps you'll sign up sometime and come and join us for a multiplayer Sunday. We usually have 15-20 Daks up there which is sight to behold (particularly when doing our Touch and Gos!).Mark "Dark Moment" BeaumontP.S. Billg .... thanks too. Hey, R13 Kai Tak is a lot easier at 85 knots approach speed than in a 747, for sure! Glad you like "Betsy", though ... she's one famous lady out there.P.P.S. Just for the record, it's Kowloon ... or was, if you've now demolished it.http://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg

is this a have to be there love in? omg, argh.np, I can handle it. Good for you Mark...rgds,billgEDIT: btw, I finally found the cathy dc 3. it was under dc-3, not dc3, omg. Oh well, I got it, and did a few take offs out of the cookie area, haven't got back down yet, but I will...billg

Keep smelling the flowers, Billg. Personally, I never inhaled. And look after "Betsy" gal ....Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg

when you're my age, you've done strawberry and window pane and all kinds of names for the same stuff. Then, when you get older, you realize, oh my, that's why I'm so dumb...rgds,billg
