November 25, 20232 yr The famous airship with a historic end is coming to MSFS soon. Would you consider performing a 1:1 recreation of the transatlantic flights? At 2 days in length, even hard-core 'no time acceleration' guys may struggle! Personally, I'm unsure about putting this in the sim, much the same as I have a hangup about the Twin Towers, or the Titanic in ship simulator. Plus, you just know that someone will release a livery with the Swastika emblazoned on it. Then again, they are all historical records, so why shouldn't they appear? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuexIeFA_80 AMD Ryzen 5800X3D; MSI RTX 3080 Ti ; 32GB Corsair 3200 MHz; ASUS VG35VQ 35" (3440 x 1440) Fulcrum One yoke; Thrustmaster TCA Captain Pack Airbus edition; MFG Crosswind rudder pedals; miniCockpit FCU; CPFlight MCP 737; Logitech FIP x3; TrackIR MSFS; Fenix A320; A2A PA-24; HPG H145; PMDG 737-600; AIG; RealTraffic; PSXTraffic; FSiPanel; REX AccuSeason Adv; FSDT GSX Pro; FS2Crew RAAS Pro; FS-ATC Chatter
November 25, 20232 yr Can't wait! 🙄 The skies over Duxford filled with A320s floating by majestically and attempting loops. 😁 Edited November 25, 20232 yr by Ron Attwood The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
November 25, 20232 yr I wonder what the flight model fanatics will come up with about this aircraft.....😁

November 25, 20232 yr I have been waiting for a dirigible, or at least a blimp for quite a while now. There is a project I’ve been following but it seemed stalled. Interesting if related. The Hindenburg and Zeppelins in general were a boyhood passion of mine. Many books and models, always a great fascination for me. I’ll be looking forward to this. -B https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/flight-model-bending-the-graf-zeppelin-ii.451872/page-5
November 25, 20232 yr I'm waiting for the R101. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

To me having this in sim is an interesting Novelty though I think I would get bored quick but for those into lighter than air flight it will be a bonus and always great to have choice

It serves the opposite purpose to what it pretends to prevent. Given some of the abhorrent and despicable behaviour I have seen in the last month and a half and the fact that such ignorance seems to be on the rise it seems there are many that could use an education. Having these things as a reminder in the correct historical context is important in my opinion. 5800X3D - Strix X570-E - 32GB 3600Mhz DDR4 - AMD RX 9070 XT- Samsung 980 Pro x2

The Hindenburg isn't a blimp, but it certainly is a dirigible. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_airship "Dirigible" means "capable of being steered" (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dirigible), which is what distinguishes an airship from a balloon.

I’m reminded of the time I went to see the Kermit Weeks historical aircraft collection in Florida. There were a couple of enthusiasts from Germany there we got speaking to, they were really interested to see a German WW2 aircraft displaying complete with its original livery. They said they’d never get to see that in their home museums as certain symbology was now outlawed. 787 captain.

November 25, 20232 yr Ah, ok. That’s just what these guys told us, that’s good then if such things are preserved for historical reasons. Maybe it’s just the fact that it was actually out flying around the airport they found interesting then. 787 captain.
