I saw this one mentioned at Sim Outhouse so I've had my eyes peeled. Manuele Villa does an excellent job with all his creations. I've downloaded this new one, but haven't gotten any farther as yet. Later this morning I'll get into it. :flying:

Manuele has really outdone himself with this beauty. The VC is simply fantastic!

My friend Manuele is a great guy ! Well done !, thank you for this G-18. As it is clear , the G-18 was the italian "maccheroni" answer to the Douglas DC-2, engineered by the late Giovanni Gabrielli. He began in the thirties and finished his brilliant career as Fiat engineer with the Fiat G-91 end G-222. The Spartan C27 Chuck is the modern plane that still fly with the Gabrielli design based on the G-222 and is utilised by the italians and americans too.

Thats a very nice looking model!

Fiat G.18-V crossing the alps (somewere) on the way from Paris to Turin.

In the report of Avio Linee´s inaugural London-Venice service from FLIGHT magazine June, 9, 1938
they state, that the alps are cleared at about 15,500 ft.

Does anyone know where exactly the alps have been crossed in those days ? Did airways and sectional charts already exist in 1938, and ATC ?

Where would the alps been crossed today on the way from Paris to Turin flying a general aviation aircraft whith a servive ceiling of no more than 15,500 ft ?
