July 16, 20232 yr So, just grabbed the Wilga half price in a sale, the KABQ is from Short Final Designs (MisterX) and is a bring-over from XP11 that seems to work fine, and the background scenery is the SimHeaven and Vsim Ortho combination. So not TrueEarth quality, like the SFO stuff I've posted recently, but to my eyes, perfectly acceptable. So starting with a few around the airport From what I remember, MisterX originally did (does?) a bunch of pretty fine freeware airports, but then started to sell upgraded versions as Short Final Designs. I have a few of these and they're all pretty good. Not sure if the townscape as here is part of the airport package or the Simheaven stuff. Off into the hills to the east of the city Oooh! I think I see a freeway in the distance! I really am going to have to get to grips with the flying car I got recently. That should be fun. Up and away OK, so no, it's not quite MSFS quality at this level, but to me it's very acceptable. And I don't know what it is, but even as a confirmed non-pilot I do find the flying experince more engaging in XP. But I'll be back in MSFS soon - got a load of airports there that I haven't visited yet.

July 16, 20232 yr Nice shots. So used to seeing the Wilga with a radial engine; this is going to take some getting used to. 🙂

I'll have to check when I get back there. On 7/16/2023 at 11:52 PM, Jack_Sawyer said: Nice tour but what an odd looking plane. Cheers Jack, and it is a bit of an insect, isn't it.
