May 2, 201511 yr So I was becomming a little bored with the sim (as happens occasionally) and decided that rather than just flying, it was time to get creative. :smile: I've never so much as ever thought about doing a repaint so had a little play with some DDS files from the feelThere ERJ. The result is a pretty awful repaint by most people's standards! ... but hey, it's a start. I've also never been interested in the 'fictional' scene within the sim ...... whether that means fictional airlines or flying a NGX for an airline that only operates Airbuses. So I decided to change that and set up my own regional airline, based out of my home airport EGNT (Newcastle, UK). I've called it Air North East. To bring in a bit of my Irishness , Air North East will also have an aircraft based at Belfast City and at Cork (in addition to two aircraft based at Newcastle). The route network will be :- Newcastle - Belfast City Newcastle - Cork Newcastle - London City Newcastle - Cambridge Belfast City - London City Belfast City - Manchester Belfast City - Cork Cork - Bristol Cork - Manchester Cork - Birmingham Air North East will launch with these routes but are investigating routes between ROI / N.Ireland and Scotland, and from Newcastle to continental Europe. The Air North East fleet consists of 4 x Embraer ERJ-135 aircraft, all of which were purchased directly from Luxair as a result of a fleet disposal of the -135's by the Luxembourg airline. You can see one of Air North East's ERJ-135's at Gate 9 of Newcastle here (in a transitional livery), getting ready to depart for London City, on flight ANE22 (07:05) :- thanks for indulging me in my fun today ! :smile:
