Boeing 747-400LCF 'Dreamlifter'

[DarrenL]

Had this Project Opensky aircraft downloaded for ages until today when I started it up. This is the FSX version but there's also an FS2004 version on Simviation. Uses the default 747 panel and VC. All necessary doors open. Only issue I had was the tow tender being untextured (all black) but I copied in the textures for the Posky tow tender from another package and it works fine now.

Nothing special on the images just thought you might like to see it, and it's a lot cheaper than buying the PMDG base pack and LCF Dreamlifter addon

Garry saw this little tinker fly over last week. What a pretty aircraft!

It is a bit visually challenged

[Garry Russell]

Yep

Not sure which one that is the one I saw was N780BA being flown by Atlas Air

Even at altitude it does look a little different

At the ceremony when it was officially unveiled, the designer of the LCF handed a letter to the chief designer of the Boeing 747-400 apologising for what he'd done to his aeroplane

I suppose you'd need a sense of humour to have designed that

[DarrenL]

That reminds me of the story at a car show in the mid 70s when Triumph were displaying their new TR7 and highly respected designer Giorgetto Giugiaro approached the car. Hushed silence fell upon the Triumph stand as the great man studiously looked at the car, he walked around it and exclaimed "Oh my god, they've done the same on this side as well!"

[DaveB]

Yes.. the TR7 was a bit of a shock. From classic British sports car (TR6) to something vile in one go Was it not originally designed for the Canadian market? It would have been better to release it over there and nowhere else!

That sounds like the CL-44 Dave

Or the DC4M but in reverse
