A few initial shots from my experimental re-installation of my old P3D systems, which I thought I'd try purely to use some of those older aircraft that I don't expect to see coming to MSFS any time soon (or ever).

Not my usual 4k hi-res shots as I'm also experimenting with image hosting now that imgur has gone from the UK.

One of my all time faves first -

This beastie is out of EGMC, my "home town" (well, childhood town, anyway) and I do remember seeing them there

And yes, I do have one of these for MSFS but I like this version better

And another major favourite. I would dearly love to see this done for MSFS. An amazing aircraft. This is a rehash of the original UKMil model, done with their permission a good few years ago now.

I've also gone even further back and am getting my FSX/SE system sorted out again, for those planes that never even ported into P3D successfully. Obviously not MSFS levels of visuals, but I'm using True Earth and Active Sky/Rex so if I'm careful about location and weather it works ok. 

And not a PG vegetation obelisk to be seen anywhere!

Wonderful and highly evocative series, Andy...!

Indeed, I was thinking of some of these old friends...🙂...when working on my 1967 B737 post this week...

Thanks for sharing...!
