Classic British Flight Sim

Surprised this has not popped up in FS as yet, so armed with Mike Stones model I mad e anew layered paintkit with shading etc and set to work, great as AI as well... screenies from the laptop so not as good as main PC





plus the rare SAS 340A

That FlyBe repaint is really nice Tony. They have become the staple diet at my local airport (Stornoway). Is the repaint available anywhere?

I have downloaded it from Flightsim.com.

Have been waiting for the Flybe one for quite some time, so CHEERS

I was asked to do the SAS version and then I saw the FlyBe at BHX and thought it looked quite smart, so armed with Mike Stones 340 I made a new paint kit with a bit more shade etc to make it a bit better than the plain base textures in the original file from Mike. its available at flightsim.com

That explains why you have drifted into scandinavian skies

Also available for the Mike Stone model on Flightsim or AVSIM are repaints of the Aurigny and of various Loganair/BA Saab 340s (Benyhone and Union Flag - have not seen the Waves Of the City livery).

As far as I know, the are no repaints available of Manx, British Midland and Business Air who were the other UK operators of the Saab 340. IIRC, particularly the Manx 340 was quite notorious for being a dog, with airline and manufacturer faulting each other for the poor dispatch rate.

... and there was also Aer Lingus who replaced the Sheds with Saab 340s - I guess they were mostly used for services to the UK:

Oh dear I have a list now, just like at home when I get lists of to do's

Don't feel being pressured into anything

Remember, unlike at home, nobody here can sent you to bed without dinner for being disobedient :000:
