Flying Panamerican with an old DC-6

Featured Replies

Hi, here are some screenshots from my All American tour with an old DC-6 (correct, not the DC-6B). Perhaps you have followed my route from Europe over the Atlantic to Alaska; here is the sequel.

At Villavicencio, recently home of some old propliners. Today, only an old Antonov crowds the apron.

Gee, a real airplane with real propellors and real engiines that gulp fuel and oil by the gallon.  Fine series.

Wow, you covered quite some distance, Harald  :wink:  :wink:

 

Every time I see you screenies, I have to remind myself: no it's not FSX or better, this is the good old FS9 machine you marvel at. As always, very well done my friend

Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds

My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080

Ahh, now that's the life!! Love the shots, specially approaching Caracas!

I like the "Near California coast", something different. And looks real too!

 

Btw I wanted to ask you for some time - what trees are you using?

 

Cheers,

Sascha

Again many thanks. Yeah, this is an old plane within and old simulator, but it is so much fun flying it.

 

Sascha, I frankly don't know anymore which trees these are. It's some freeware, and I have forgotten which one...
