March 24Mar 24 As I mentioned on another post this was the plane we took on our honeymoon (ATA gold and blue “runway” scheme as I don’t think the other was invented yet (1997), Milwaukee to Las Vegas and return. Even then I realized it was very old and very cool. And I’m retiring next week so the timing is perfect!
March 24Mar 24 I think every airliner should be judged on the following criteria in order to be deemed cool: ✔️ Does it have a flight engineer? ✔️ Does it feature wood panelling in the cockpit? ✔️ Does it come with a lounge? With those in mind, the L1011 is clearly the best possible airliner.

They said it will come out later on the iniStore. Then you can have it transfered from the Marketplace. That IS the only reason I am buying it on release day. Otherwise it would have been a hard pass until it showed up on the iniStore. They did that with the A340.

The only L1011 I can recall in the sim was the Captainsim one, I think for FSX? I’ve always had a soft spot for this plane so I’m pretty excited…looking forward to flying it in Air Canada Ted and white, hopefully that repaint will exist before long. I tried the Tristar out at FSWeekend. I done one circuit, so not a huge test, but it seemed excellent.

March 24Mar 24 My first flight when I was a baby was on a Caledonian L1011 on holiday out of Gatwick in the early 90s. I can't wait to pick this up! What an awesome machine.

March 25Mar 25 Well, the more I see it, the more I like it. If the auto flight engineer turns out to be fully auto, I could see myself flying it.😎

For us flight sim enthusiasts, retirement seems like a very good thing indeed. I’m going to celebrate with a VFR flight around my entire home state of Wisconsin (and fly the new L-1011, of course!)

March 25Mar 25 Definitely a day 1 purchase for me. I prefer old aircraft the modern stuff is pretty boring to be honest and I fly the 737 Maxx dor a living.... I hope INI will do a Convair model next maybe a CV340 or 880/990 ATP MEL,CFI,CFII,MEI. Type Ratings B-737, ERJ-190,ERJ-170
