Hello all! Hello Radarman!

I have been away for a while and now I am back. I am having a blast with this dammmm fs9 YeeeEEAAHAWWWW!
One thing I did was turn my entire world into retro. I mean all the aircraft and scenery is from 1970 +/- 3 years. All the aircraft are L-1049's, CV-440,540,580,880,990,,,DH-7's,,and I have old livery,, from the early 70's, DC-10's, 727's L-1011's and so on. I have my 'company' based in 1967 KSAN! It is too cool to see this airport where Jim's air is the main terminal and the modern terminal is the,, I forget. But it is a fighter aircraft company. All the GA planes too! From the 40's-60's.

I have PSA traffic going in and out of KSAN. It is a little spooky to see the PSA 727 landing and taking off!! Because of what happened there in '78.

WAY toooo much fun!

All the scenery and aircraft are from a free download site. I am not sure if I can even mention it on this site because of all the liability crap.
I bet Radarman knows what I'm talking about! The retro world stuff, I mean.

Very Happy Hello!

Nice to see you back!

Yes I know about the retro downloads, they look great.
It's nice for a change, if you have the time post some screenshots for the others to see.
Have fun!

I placed 3 screenshots of my classic scnery/ac stuff. Sorry for the large resolution formats. I will, in the future, scale'm down.

The scenery and aircraft are a lot of fun though. About 150 airport/areas that are retro'd back to about 163. I have added AI from the 70's though. I have Cont, PSA, National, Piedmont, TIA, etc DC-10's, L-1011's, 727's and so on.

GET SOME! I like it! The Connie L-1049G is way cool! Good startup, VC etc. Go past the 2 minute maximum takeoff power and you will soon see fire lights and then,,,, silence! Better get'm feathered!
