October 15, 20169 yr ORBX South Alaska scenery Our flight plan for today is from Whitehorse to Juneau It’s 8:00 am and some minus 7 degrees Celsius. We don’t have snow yet in Whitehorse, but we’ll expect plenty on route. With a lot of sputtering, coughing and smoke belching the three engines slowly coax to life. This is none of this instant-on nanny computer controlled stuff and the pilot knows exactly, when it’s time for his priced baby to be finally up and running Slowly, yet gracefully the Ford takes to the skies Yes, we might be slow and old, but we are hard working and dependable Occasionally we are forced to open the windows despite the freezing temps to check on the engine gauges No modern jet offers such a cozy and classy ambience Flying in such majestic surroundings can be quite a humbling experience But you also know, if something happens out here, you are on your own And then Juneau comes finally into sight Back on terra firma Thanks for viewing and I hope you liked our little adventure tour 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

October 15, 20169 yr What an obscenely bright colour scheme! Learned something new: Never realised the outboard engine gauges were... outboard of the cockpit! (Not an officianado of the Tri motor, just knew what one was.)

October 15, 20169 yr Thanks a lot gents. It was really fun taking the Trimotor out and doing this tour Yes, Klaus, that's the one. At US$6 she is a steal Thats right, not much for this well made plane! I already have bought it :smile: ...but I have one problem tough. I cant get EZDOK getting to work with it. When I load the plane I get an error from EZDOK which says it could not write into the ini file and ezdok crashes. Do you use EZDOK with it?

October 16, 20169 yr Author I live in the Yukon Yes, Pete, I remember that from my previous flight there in an Antonov An-2 :smile: :smile: Classy!! As I always have said--"Real airplanes have propellors!!" A good friend of mine has narrowed it even further, he states that real airplanes are taildraggers with a big radial. But I have to admit that he might be slightly biased, as he flies a Boeing Stearman :wink: :wink: 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
