Thank you all for your kind words.  Speaking about 1972. At present time it is represented mainly European airlines: Aeroflot, Air France, Austrian, Alitalia, Balkan, BEA, BOAC, CSA, Finnair, JAT, Interflug, LOT, Lufthansa, Malev, SAS, Swissair, Tarom. North America is only represented by Air Canada. Asia by JAL, Ariana, Iran Air, PIA, Thai. Future plans – Aeronaves de Mexico, Alisarda, Luxavia, Sabena, TAP, UTA. Continuation of my work is complicated by the lack of primary sources – real schedules for this year. |

Awesome. The 1969 and 1972 years were fantastic times in the commercial aviation world.
Keep it going Aleck.

I want to thank everyone who takes the time to research, create, and share the repaints and flightplans for our hobby. I wish I had your talent and skills. I know everyone has a life outside of retro-flightsimming, so I for one appreciate the sacrifices you all make to bring to the skies the aircraft of yesterday. I never thought I would like retro, but I'm a BIG FAN of retro! I'm redoing all my airlines to resemble the 1990s and I find my new addiction is retro-ing airlines and plane spotting. This turned out to be more addicting than I ever thought, but very enjoyable. I worked at an airport in 1980 and I enjoy seeing some of the airlines of that era filling my virtual sky today.
Thank you!
Mike

Thank you! Mike I would say there isn't much "talent and skills", anyone can do it. You just need to have the passion and desire to want to do the research and learn to use the programs required. I have learned so much about so many airlines making these plans. In the not-so-distant future, I hope to start producing flightsim YouTube videos and start an aviation history site. Much of what I have learned, I learned from playing around with flight schedules, repaints, and retro AI traffic. Making representative plans especially requires research, but if commercial aviation history is something you consider a hobby, you will enjoy it, and that is what matters. I often have a lot of downtime at work which is when I work on flightplanning. When other things pan out in my life, I doubt I will have all that time, so I'm putting in the work now so I can forever after enjoy flightsimming in the virtual 90s. Hopefully by then, plenty of others with the same interests have decided to step in and learn to create rather than just wait and see what become available. Really, anyone can do it. P3D and the new generation of AI models open up a lot of possibilities. There are still many old and buggy AIA models in the retro flightsim world. It will take many contributions to see the 70s, 80s, and 90s repaints make their way to FAIB, FSPX, and other newer models. I hope that you continue to explore your new hobby, and please share what you create! |

Hi aleck
Fantastic releases! These are absolutely incredible. However, I have one question. In the 1985 plans, where are the American DC-10-30's? All the included reg numbers are -10's, and I know AA had -30's going to places like Frankfurt in the mid-80's...
Thanks again for this amazing work!
Chris

Hi Chris!
Thank you for your kind words.
I don’t remember why I put the 10-30 into AA 1985 FP. It was nine years ago or earlier. Probably because there wasn’t any 10-10s liveries in the Internet at that times but I wanted to see any AA’s DC-10 in my traffic anyway. Later I forgot about it.

Would it be entirely unrealistic to use the -10 and -30 schedules from your 1991 plans in 1985? They seem to include all of the relevant aircraft of the time.
Thanks again aleck!
Chris

Great work as usual Aleck:) I think I'll be using the '85 plans more than the others.

Hi All.I compiled the 1985 flight plans using great care to make sure all my aircraft titles were correct. I cut/pasted them from my earlier retroai plans so I know they are valid names. I don't have all the aircraft, and I did not remove the unused flights from the flight plans file. For some reason I can't figure out, the plans based on the earlier retroai plans will not display. even though the aircraft names are good I'm missing AA, DL, CO, NWA, and TWA among others. Do I need to change any time settingd during the compile? I almost forgot to mention I'm using these in FSX.
Thanks
Stan
