For those of you who like 70's stuff, I have uploaded textures for the following aircraft to go with the 1975 AMX flightplans. EvolveAI DC-10-30, AI-Aardvark DC-9-30 and Dee Waldron DC-8-50. They should be up on Avsim in the next day or two.
Thanks.
RPM.

Hi Michael. For the 1974 plans the repaints will need to the same as the F-27/B720.  AP-AYM, the DC-10 was the first one in the later scheme and that was the early 80's I think. I saw it on its first visit to LHR one Sunday. I'll have to check my log for the date. Paul |

I'm not sure how they would work as AI, but if memory serves, someone did repaints of every PIA aircraft they ever flew in all the schemes. I don't know if they are on Avsim, but for sure they are on Flightsim.com. |

Paul Hi Paul, you're right - I can remember seeing PIA 707s and DC-10s at Frankfurt (EDDF) in 1980/81 already wearing the 80s livery you mentioned. I just found an interesting website called "The history of PIA" with a lot of background-info. They even have a picture of a PIA-Trident. Apparently PIA operated this type of aircraft between 1966 and 1970: www.historyofpia.com/olddays.htmHere are some nice pictures of the mid-70s-livery you were talking about: www.historyofpia.com/liverymid70s.htm(I always thought the DC-10s were delivered in the 80s livery...) And these are pics from the 80s: www.historyofpia.com/livery80s.htmKind regards, Michael |

Hi Michael.
The legacy of a plane spotter!!
The Tridents used to be regular in LHR up to 1970.
My log shows that I managed to see two of them in 1969.
A good site you have found there about PIA.
Now we just need some one to paint the fleet!!

Check out flightsimpakistan.com/fsp/frame.htm . Unfortunately, they do not have the Trident but they do have the Tu-154 in PIA colors (leased by PIA in the late '90s). As far as FR hit is concerned, a lot of that is personal preference. I used to get really upset about the stutters at busy airports when I first got FS9. But the other features (AI, ATC) made it worthwhile anyway. Slowly I got used to ignoring the stutters. Now I can tolerate anything above about 5 or 6 FPS. Less than that and I have to start turning the traffic setting down below 100%. Turning off GA traffic at busy airports helps a little. Andy |
