May 2, 20233 yr I recall, from the deepest areas of my simmer brain, there used to be a scenery, maybe AI only I really am not sure, injector for fsx, that allowed for historically accurate aircraft and airports to be displayed if one chose a date of flight somewhere in the early 40s, 50s, 60s... of the 20th Century? I think it would be great to have such a tool for any general purpose flight simulator. Presently the only way we have to "feel" what it was like flying in the 40s is to play IL-2 or DCS WW2, but it would be great to see "Historic Scenery" in MFS, XP, P3D, AEFS... Having not only historically correct AI traffic but also navaids... No satellites, no sophisticated GBAS.... Flying the Caravelle, DC-6, DC-3 with a realistic scenery and AI environment 🙂 Edited May 2, 20233 yr by jcomm Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
May 2, 20233 yr 7 hours ago, jcomm said: maybe AI only I really am not sure, injector for fsx I think it was MyTraffic. And yes, only AI traffic. But at least the default FS9 bulidings were suitable for those older eras. For everything else, CalClassic could help a bit. I can't see a way to do that with MSFS...

May 4, 20233 yr It would appeal to me. I like to fly the Aerosoft DC8 and play 60s tunes and imagine I'm also time travelling. One thing that's put me off from getting the PMDG DC6 is it seems there's no way to hide the tablet. I wouldn't mind using it in the preflight phase, but once I'm ready to get going I want to play Bill Haley and the Comets and travel back in time. But of course either way, the AI traffic, scenery, and to a certain extent weather/climate of course don't match. In FSX I guess I'm roughly in 2005-2015 using the 747 and 777, somewhat older liveries, and World of AI traffic, but it works great and it's fun.
