Great shots, Andi ! And good luck finding the culprit soon. Unfortunately our flight simulators have never been an "Install it and enjoy it" exercise 😡

This is what Wikipedia has to say about this plane: The Bugatti Model 100 was a purpose-built air racer designed to compete in the 1939 Deutsch de la Meurthe Cup Race. Ettore Bugatti started work in 1938 to design the racer using engines sold in his automotive line for co-marketing. The Model 100 had an unusual inboard mounted twin engine arrangement driving forward-mounted contra-rotating propellers through driveshafts.
The aircraft also featured a 120-degree v-tail arrangement and retractable landing gear. The construction was mostly of wood, with sandwiched layers of balsa and hardwoods, including tulipwood stringers covered with doped fabric. Unfortunately, the plane could not be finished in time and during WWII Bugatti stored it on his estate. After the war its twin Bugatti 50P engines were removed for automotive restorations. Today the aircraft is on display at the EAA Aviation Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
I fly the plane from Ugak Island, which is a small island at Kodiak Island’s east coast first across Kodiak Island on the south coast of Alaska and later land again at the island’s east coast at Kodiak airport.

Very nice set Bernd, if I'm right I've read something that in real life one of the last 747SP was going to retire soon or so, don't remember exactly.
Could well be Andi. If I remember correctly, the Iranians still have one or two SPs in their fleet.

I had problems some three years ago, and I was almost giving up on AMD. Then I sent them an e-mail showing them the problem I and some others here on avsim have with their card, when using a flight simulator. A couple of weeks later they issued a new driver and from then on it was smooth sailing.

Marvelous images, Will...especially liked the KSFO terminal night shot...!
All good things must come to an end...🙂...but your love for the 737NG is too great, so, who knows...🙂...
You may be flying the big T7, but I do not expect your username to change from the "738"...to "773"...🙂...
Cheers...!

Today I use the FSX B747SP to fly close to 3000 NM from Wiley Post-Will Rogers in Barrow, Alaska to beautiful Halifax in Nova Scotia
Crossing the Mackenzie River
Near Cold Lake in east-central Alberta
South of Thunder Bay at Lake Superior
Close to Ottawa
I have reached Montreal
North of Grand Manan Island in the Bay of Fundy
After a flight that took a bit over six hours, I have finally reached Halifax
