De Havilland Rapide

Post by Nigel H-J »

Image

Since Ben has re-done this excellent Forum and added an aircraft hanger where we can download C.B.F.S. A/C I went to have a look-see, for some unknown reason when I had to re-install FS9 I forgot about this Rapide so decided to take a trip in her at Birmingham International Airport on a pleasure flight.....Wow, forgot how good she is!! :welldone:

Only one slight problem during the flight.....the other passengers were sat with a vacant look of their faces, did not move or talk. :worried: Only after landing I found I should have taken the afternoon flight as all on board were on a 'conquer your fear of flying' course and had been hypnotised!! :doh:

Very many thanks for your comments, I have responded to yours on You Tube Peter and it is very much the same as below, with the Rapide having a VC and being able to access the cabin I just wanted to try some different variables with the camera and it appears to have worked. Though have yet to try something similar with other aircraft (without making a video) but have found that some with 2D cockpit views one becomes very limited in being able to position the camera and move it around as that in the video, very much try it and see what you can get.
