More with the Clipper

[dragonflightdesign]

Hello Andy

That's one of the books that I collected during the Prepar3D project. If you check the internet there are quite a few pictures of Compartments 3 and 4 but almost none of the others , just three of the galley (one of which is essentially a repeat), two of the Lounge and one each of the two bathrooms.

BTW: Klass is not trustworthy. Quite a bit of what he has written regarding operations is directly contradicted by both Boeing ops manuals. He also claims that the B314-A had an APU but Wellwood Beall says it didn't. Finally, off the top of my head, his description of the crash of Yankee Clipper at Lagos seems to be taken from the AP presswire which itself is just pure press...

Thank you Andy for sharing your "secret"....
I was not aware that the drone camera could penetrate walls etc and never even tried, because I assumed that it could not. Learnt something new again (I am past 75 already, but it it never too late, right 🙂 )

Just a more general remark here:
I think it is pretty useless to discuss the interior of the Clipper, be it colours, textures, seat and table heights or anything, because as Dai already pointed out, (and he did a lot of research himself including phone interviews) there is very probably nobody alive today who would be able to tell us how that interior looked like then.

So let us better look at other issues or glitches that might need attention and not lose more time and energy with an issue that in the end boils down to a question of personal taste - and there are many as we know 😉

The present version flies very well, it coasts along nicely and can be steered with the water rudder (it works for sure, but does not move visibly at this time 😞 ), it can be moored and enjoyed in the air and on the water surface...

Thank you Pilot´s for such a nice product which deserves your and our love and attention for further improvements!
