Free Flight, Free Speech

Hey 'yall,

So I see you're doing a flight from Patagonia tommorow, I'd like to join, so do I need to be on a special Mumble channel?

I've bought a better PC. I'm updated to 2020.13 and also running the Nightly 2020.4 with HDR. It's kinda freaking awesome.

You gotta love NVe.M2 drives.

Do you folks still do semi weekly MP flights?

I've got some images from 2020.4 in HDR, I've been going through all my old favorites and fixing their transparencies so they're happier with HDR..













Oh yeah My Youtube channel

Hey Lester, amazing screenshots,
Yes, we read this channels here

As you saw in the other thread we are doing a treasure hunting tour, fiying most saturdays.
I thought I saw you in Marambio, but wasnt' sure, and I was landing so couldn't text.

we can use mumble, and had been lately using zoom.

Great to see you again, and congratz on your new machine.

The new plane is at the head of that row of images is an Ago 192 transport, I've got this thing for twin Argus inverted V8's.

Nice, stable flying old transport for when you want to go faster than the GA aircraft crowd, cruises at 148 knots.

Some other pre WWII content also.

looks very nice.
Is the last image rendering or photo?? thats' way too realistic!!

If you want you can send me a zip and I push it to fgmembers too, as we've done it

So yeah the last image is from Phoenix RC, an RC model simulator. Since I got started many years ago in Flying Model Simulator back in 2002, I've always had a model aircraft base as my 3D skillset.

I'm coordinated with some 3D modellers in RC Group's forum and the Breda S65 pictured is a 3D model one of the Italian 3D modelers one of many he has released. It's exterior is amazing, up to 50K in poly counts and highly detailed. The interiors are little more than Helijah's bucket with a seat and pilot so it would need additional work to be a pilot view.

The scenery is a panoramic photo linked to an editable open space with a number of 3D primitives as collision objects, if that makes sense. It's not like FG since as an RC pilot you're stuck to the ground watching your model plane fly around you, so the flight area is roughly about 4 to 20 square kilometers in size.

Since I cannot seem to embed YT links here's a link.

My YG-1 Yamaha in HDR rendered standard 2.1 scenery with all the OSM features on.

and some more aircraft..

Bristol Bulldog MkII


One of the FMS RC models that was nice enough to convert to FG I think when we flew the British Expeditionary Force flight in 2014 I had released this model. A MF7 Longhorn Farman.


And I've modded Helijah's Ryan PT22 into a biplane. fictional but nice flying fairly slow with a lot of wing area.

I have a Github account, so can I push them to FGMEMBERS repo myself or do I need a password or permission? I'm trying to upload some of my more recent stuff to my GitHub Repo, but GitHub has this Draconian 10 meg limit on my uploads which basically means most of my models don't fit.

Kinda sucks.

I need to create the FGMEMBERS repo, after that you can push yourself

I have gotten a limit size of individual files, but 10Mb doesnt sound right at all. Dont push a zip! that's a large binary. you have to push a git repo with the plane inside it
