Classic British Flight Sim

Hello to all,

My name is Ivan and I come to you from "Northwestern Lower Michigan". A small Town named "Traverse City". I play Music for a living all 'round the USA and when I was a child, it was going to be one of two things for me. Music, or flying. I guess Music bit me a wee'bit harder .

About one year ago I found a copy of FS9 at a big box store and while I had toyed about with 98, it didn't really get hold of me. Now? I sim nearly everyday that I'm not on the road!!

As I stumbled into the good number of sites for simming, I found a down load for a Trident package. This led me to this site and I must say, The British made the coolest, most interesting Jet Aircraft of the 50's60's and 70's . There is simply "something about" these old bird's that I can't seem to get enough of.

So'. Thanks. Thanks for making these wonderful airplanes available to us simmer's!! I can't believe that such quality can be had for FREE! My goodness!! Who Knew? I plan to donate when I can and you seem like a good bunch of gent's here. I look forward to reading along and hopefully, I'll join the VA as well.

Best to all,

Ivan.........................................

Hi and welcome Ivan. If you need any help or advice on nearly any subject..........then this is definately the place to be. :roll:

We're nearly all barking mad!!

Welcome to the site! You seem like a nice chap yourself
I agree with Nigel: We're all nuts!

Hallo Ivan, welcome to CBFS. That's a friendly introduction, I think you'll fit in very well here

The classic aircraft of the 50s, 60s and 70s are a lot more fun to fly than the modern FS models. And, as you say, there's something about the British aircraft of that period. I think you could call them charismatic - they were more than just machines and they still generate a great deal of emotion - as you will see if you stick around :roll:

Best wishes

Ian

As Ian was saying the old stuff is more fun

I have been flying Vikings a bit lately and you have to actually get it off the ground and try to maintain a rate of climb

None of this sit tight until a certain speed , pull back and power away
:huf:

Thanks all for such a warm welcome .. For what it's worth, My favorite at the moment is the Trident 3 {who would have guessed such a thing? :shock: }. Only a week ago now, I installed the 1-11 and like it also. It's perfect for flying into my home base {KTVC}.

The super VC get's all my long haul stuff done and for fun, I like the Cessna 337 Skymaster. Although I have many planes installed, it seem's that most sit in the hanger and these four are all I really need...

Before my affair with These fine old bird's, I was an MD-80 guy. There was something about the SGA Mad Dog that made it fun to fly {and land}. So, I still revisit the old MD here and there.

Well, again, thanks for being here fella's. I can tell already that this is my kind of place.. There's a good spirit here.
