Nice.

I like that a lot better than the usual yellow. Whose model?

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Thanx!!!

It's a NorCal Prop Club piece. One of the most detailed freeware craft I've ever seen! Mucho detail.....like the rivet detail that can be seen in a couple of my screencaps....much better "in person" though!

Thanks.

At least they did not paste their name all over this one. I hate it when they do that.

What ?
It seems to me that this is the latest FSX-native Texan produced by Warwick Carter, and Norcal Prop Club does have anything to do with it... Or is it yet another model ?

EDIT: Warwick Carter and David Eckert, to be precise.

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

It's the Warwick Carter/David Eckert aircraft, available here at SimViation.

I think NorCal seems to take a lot of planes and make it seem like they made them.

Wait, I'll save ya the trouble! Here's a c&p of the Texan's sidebar off of the the site:

"North American T-6

By Warwick Carter

And Dave Echart

Full VC Cockpit

XP/Certified"

If they are intending to "make it seem like they made them" then they sure are being mighty cagey about giving credit where credit is due. A hiding in plain sight sorta thing.........they sure had me fooled! I feel foolish for being drawn in to their 'evil plan'! Roll Eyes

Somewhere on their site they have a statement saying they do not build models, only update them, mostly for FSX now. And the experience I'm having with the three I downloaded yesterday, is that they are doing a good job of it. And as U4EA said, they always give credit to the builders.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

My comment comes from the number of times on this forum someone posts about Nor-Cal's new aircraft, or pictures of a Nor-Cal aircraft, or has questions about Nor-Cal aircraft. I don't see similar posts coming about Flightsim aircraft, Simviation aircraft, or Avsim aircraft, where you can find all of the same aircraft. Just seems to be a trend that I have noticed.

Note to self, post the following caveat from this point on:

Due to short-term memory difficuty I cannot recall where this _____insert aircraft name here____came from. That is all! Grin
