Love all the included liveries-especially the KLM Retro, DHL Express, Kenya Airways, Friendship, Wave which kinda of looks like Ansett "delta" era to me and Livery 03.

I used to fly to Belfast fairly regularly on Jersey European's F27 a few years back.  It would be nice to see that livery or the later british European livery that replaced it.

It's worth the low price as a bit of fun but it's one for the Hangar.

In the 1970s, I flew jump seat on Air Anglia Fokker F27s, though this flight deck seemed more rudimentary than I remember. What I do recall vividly is climbing steeply to FL230 above the weather, fully loaded, departing Paris Orly — and this aircraft handled it effortlessly.

On the downside, the onboard sounds are inaccurate and resemble ocean waves rather than the characteristic drone of two Rolls-Royce Dart engines.

Thanks…!

Not bad…a decent 50 page manual. A Tutorial flight would have been nice in it, but not a must…there will be plenty soon on-line…

That’s an impressive manual for its price point. It’s interesting in that, to achieve cruising altitude, it suggests climbing to your desired level +200ft and then dropping down into cruise—sometimes referred to as “getting on the step.”

In over 40 years in air traffic control, I’ve never seen an Fokker F27 perform this manoeuvre—only one cargo pilot flying a Viscount out of Dublin ever requested permission to do so.

Just another antique.  Wish they would give us something with modern avionics and nav systems.  Oh well.

I mean, yeah... what I wouldn't give for a decent CJ4, Longitude, 737 MAX, 747-8, 744, Dreamlifter, 787, A320, A321, A330, Beluga, A400, C-17, PC-24, PC-12, TBM, King Air 340i, SkyCourier, Seastar, King Air GTX...

Come ON, man...!!! 😆

I find most of this style of jokes have a link to inherent western colonialism and rascism ... and really do not now feel comfortable with any reference to them.

I still cringe when at 18-19 years of age as a navy rating, we toured Japan in 1968 with our SEATO Frigate and on shore leave used such terms as Ngasaki Bomb and Horishima bomb when describing those cities still recovering,  as a sort of in house joke because we spoke no Japanese  . I now feel an enormous amount of guilt at my juvenile stupidity and lack of sensitivity .

No politics, please. Many of us find this offensive.

Amen, Brother.

We all should just share our love of aviation and leave everything else at the door. 👍

I was at the FS weekend sat in the theatre for the live announcement.

I was sat on the front row next to the media seats from where people were live streaming.

I’m not sure if they were the official live stream, but if you watch it  the guy says the RR darts were “efficient and quiet “

At which point, having flown RR powered HS748 for 1500 hours, I let out an involuntary snort.

So if you hear a strange noise on the livestream..that’s me !

Coming to think of it, yes, I did detect such a strange noise, somewhere from the livestream audience…🙂…

Anyway, jon, those RR Dart sounds, I love to hear…a smooth purr to some of us sim enthusiasts, while actually an aggressive (and high-pitched) roar, as you’ve hinted…🙂…I’ll be surely mindful of pets and plants nearby…

Cheers…!

Some of us here are diehard fans of antique airplanes…🙂…A member here just posted about 727…

How will we simmers fully appreciate the 737 Max cockpit, if we didn’t ever see the one in a 727…from where it all started…?

Recently, I visited a RW (UAL) 727-100 and took a couple of photos of its flight deck, in the local Science Museum. Talk about antique…🙂…but fascinating nonetheless…to see how far we have progressed…

Way back in the days when I was a young Swabbie in the USN, the A-6 Intruder Bombardier/Navigators used to train on Gulfstream I turboprops. 

You could hear them clear across the (large) airfield. And as I recall, the twin turbojet A-6’s were far less noisy from everywhere but the rear, and at power 😂

Maybe the others didn't ask.... 🙂
