Not at all - but PC is latest spec so should cope - 25-30fps average over high density urban areas. Can't recommend this download highly enough - will post some more screen shots soon.

The historical (in)accuracy of a BOAC Boeing 747- 400 and parked at the current JLA terminal made me smile . While BOAC became BAW 31st March 1974, with full integration of all its parts not until March 1978, it was in October 1979 that the first BAW Jumbo, a series 200, appeared at Liverpool and used the North airfield's Art Deco terminal building, as the initial South airfield terminal was not until April 1986. Yes, there have been Boeing 747-400 visits since the terminal extensions in 2002 - but mostly parked way down the west (Speke Hall) end of the apron, certainly nose-in is a flight of fantasy! In the shot in the post above of the TBM-850 with a running prop - in real life the pilot would be absolutely livid at a marshaller nonchalantly standing with his back to a rotating prop less than a metre beside him! Good stuff although not my 'scene', and as you have asked, I won't mention Locmac's office/clubroom but it does appear that the new large 'Skyport' hangar is included.

Pity there isn’t a black BMW in the car park 😁
I would have made a special trip for that Brazilian Cessna

Was it not series 136 G-AWNI of British Airways in partial new Negus colours that was the 1st 747 to land at Liverpool in October 1978 Viscount? It had the film star Doug Mclure on board if I remember correctly.

I've just had photos posted (courtesy of 'Beemer', to whom many thanks) of G-AWNI parked on the former North Airfield outside the 'art deco' terminal and Hangar No.2 posted on another thread. The predominant scheme on G-AWNI in 1978 is that of British Airways with their large titles and full tail colours, but painted onto an aircraft retaining the old, former BOAC cheat-line. By Autumn 1979 the BA Boeing 747 fleet had been repainted with the BA blue undersides as well, as can be noted on the nose G-AWNN seen 'framing' a Wardair example. As the 1978/1979 photos are more relevant to the Boeing 747 type review thread, then they can be found on page 2 of: derbosoft.proboards.com/thread/7138/boeing-747-liverpool?page=2&scrollTo=180644

A strange enquiry perhaps? is the a book or books that list aircraft details ie take off,landing speeds,stall speeds suitible for use with flight sims? i know there is the observers book which tends to cover new aircraft. I am looking for something that covers general and civil aircraft with choice of light aircaft the better option. or can someone point me in the right direction to find this data out?.
i thank you for your feedback
