here' a little bit of info, if you take the word Freighter off, you end up with word "SUPER" which this Aircraft is, and also its not aerobatic, and if you leave the doors open the cars inside become flying cars,

You may be interested to hear that there is another Bristol Freighter on the go - a proper one with a nice nose ;-)

Worth a look.

Hi Jenks

I am aware of it.

Appears it might be payware and also it is being made for FS.X

An yep it's the ones with the ugly noses :lol: :lol:

Thanks anyway.

Hi Garry,

I wonder if they'd be prepared to share the photos with you that they took on that trip to see the preserved one? Might be worth a cheeky request?

There is very little information I need and I might have enough

At them moment I can't do much until I get my PC running properly.

A lot of what I do need is specific Silver City/car ferry stuff so the preserved ones would be not much use to me now as I have made all of those standard areas.

Another major issue is compiling :worried:
