Nice repaint Dave. That scenery almost looks like a painting.
This is the Alphasim model that Dan made while he lived in NZ and worked for Phil. It belongs to Alphasim and is being distributed via Flight1 under the name Virtavia. Don't ask, please.

And don't hold your breath for an FS9 version. That ain't gonna happen.
In the meantime, if anyone wants to swap out the blue panel for black, gray, or gold I've painted up some alternates. I've been looking at that blue one for well over a year now. Never occured to me to change it until today.
You can get them everywhere probably tomorrow but right now from here...

If I'm not mistaken, I think that is the Earth Simulations Isles of Scilly scenery.

OOo.. I guess it does look like a painting doesn't it though to be honest, I think much of FSX looks this way
Frank..
Dunno who did the BA paints but I was surprised to see the registration on the upper wing surface.. BA stopped doing that years ago, in fact I don't think BA ever did paint upper wing reg's

Unfortunately, I can't find a shot of either BOMG or BLDV to confirm it either way though I have found one of BLDV wearing Loganair and the upper right is clear

No matter

I don't think SSKY has upper-wing registration either:
