Classic British Flight Sim

Hi Guy's

I was sat here at a loose end, wondering what to do and thought 'I know.. I'll get my rating back on an old friend of mine.. the Viking'



I just love it It's not pretty, it's certainly not fast (although it could show a DC3 a clean pair of heels) but I love it to bits. Add Garry's set of paints and this old lady will keep me going for many years to come

Do my eyes decieve me or is that FSX???

Props look too good for FS.x...water looks like my FS.9

Lovely clean and crisp capture of the aircraft.

Get to the opticians Ben.. it's FS9

I couldn't have real weather on for the flight as you all know how lovely it was here Anyway.. I wanted to show the subject, not the weather I've not long crossed the south coast enroute to Dinard from Manchester at a leisurely 4000ft. I'd forgotten just how expensive fuel is at Dinard on the VA.. wish I'd have taken more cheap stuff from Manchester

Garry did a good 90% of the paints for our VA fleet and many are different which makes flying the Viking even more rewarding. They're still available for everyone to enjoy

I haven't got this one Dave,not sure why because I have always liked the look of this..'tubby little airliner' a phrase used in a publication many years ago from 'Hippo' books I think.What is the soundset like? EricT

Hello Mate

The default defaults to the DC3 but there are any number of soundsets available which will do. Gary Jones did a smashing set which go particularly well with any large pair of Bristols.. these are the ones I use They're available at the Pond.. and while I'm here, they go very nicely with Garry's B170. I have the Viking aliased to the 170

One in each ear and listen to yourself....?


Graham

The way my ears are working at the moment, I listen to myself most of the time anyway. Still.. it'd certainly do no harm

I always saw The 748 as a modern day Viking rather than a Dak replacement

Guess it just the sturdy workaday look of it.
