You're welcome! Seeing those flames come out of the stacks at night... Would LOVE to see this accusimmed! What a treat that would be 300+ knots!

Cheers!

Thanks for the video. That was cool indeed :)
Makes me think that I wish we had better flames and smoke effects on our Accusim planes...

How amazing! What a beautiful aircraft that is. I'm glad that there are still some of these old birds flying. If they ever Accu-Sim it, I'd buy it for sure.

Nice video. And another aircraft wich would have been fun with accusim. This old aircrafts is so much more fun to fly than the modern ones. To fly a flight with for example PMDG's 747 is mostly programming the aircraft computer and turn on and of a lot of computer stuff, not much flying. Even if that is realistic so is much more 'fun' and much more flying in for example B-377 of A2A. And it would be nice with some more 'Wings of Silver' aircraft. Not that the military one's are not great, but I would like more civilian aircraft.

Truely outstanding movie clip. I'd love to see A2A give us a fire breathing DC-7. I've been nagging A2A for years to give us flames coming from the exhaust of the engines on the applicable planes. I truely believe if your developing realism, this visual effect should not be avoided. I understand some planes have an exhaust system that does not lend itself to this visual effect; however for those planes that do, please make an attempt to develope this special effect. I suppose if I never grew up around these fire breathing airplanes, it would not be a big deal to me either. Enough said, I'll get off my yearly soapbox!

This is what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2gefluBLpo

Keep the shiny side up and the dirty side down!

Thanks, great video! I wish we could even come close to this in a flightsim but maybe in 20 years. The Just Flight Connie has fire out of the engines during flight and it does look great at night.
