OK,
So while everybody jumped into this bird full-throttle,
I stayed in my hanger, kept the doors shut, and actually read the manual!  Wink
What a piece of kite!!

So, before I post some other "set up shots", here are a few from my two "virgin" flights flights in the Captain Sim Herc!....




Look out for those props!!

DETAIL!!

Away She Flies.....

OK, probably everybody's favorite repaint.......  Wink

One of the greatest things about this sim,... just when it couldn't get any better,....
nature blesses me with "The Aurora Borealis" light show on this "Historic" flight........  8)
This Aircraft was well worth the wait  Smiley

My.....She's beautiful!
So....? How do you like her so far?
She a beast aint' she?
These are great shot's, 1 and 2 are my fav's! They really went full tilt on the textures. I'm with you, It's about the flight!
But admit it.......you know you have hard time "staying in the plane" she looks so good from the outside!
My favorite scheme is the "80's" one.....Ya know what they called "Euro 1".
Ooopppss.......whats this about a B-52?

Manuals! MANUALS! I don't have time to read manuals!

To be fair, I have just spent 15 minutes reading the C130 one to try and establish why my main AI (or ADI as they call it) doesn't move...

Beautiful shots Dave.
Maybe we're missing some shots of the virtual cockpit though, apparently the nicest aspect of the plane?  Wink
After all these weeks im still reading the 747 manuals. Im almost at the pro level now!

Very nice and a great plane

I'll hold off on shots for awhile so we don't get too used to seeing them.
