Nice shots TH, where did you get the aircraft?

Those are incredible shots just a few questions though.

1. How does it perform at 31,000 being a 3000 HP piston driven airplane
2. Is it heavy of FPS
and 3. If you got the plane from simmarket are they still giving the expansion pack to the boeing 337 away?

Thanks I really like that plane Very Happy

Thanks n7xlq1, it's the B-377 Stratocruiser from A2A Simulations:

You'll find some nice videos on that page as well.
The Aer Lingus textures are fictional available at Avsim.

Thanks Karl. FL310? I'm still trying to figure out how to get back to Ireland without refuelling let alone climbing to 310 Shocked

I made the silly mistake of sacking my 1st Officer (he was spotted in Bugis Street last night) and realize now that I have to persuade him to come back.
Seriously, I have to spend more time studying the Pilot's Handbook. You can download it from A2A to get an idea what's involved. I did experience an FPS hit when I flew it for the first time but can't remember the details and probably have changed some of my settings in the meantime. I just did the take-off in the default PanAm livery (again at WSSS) thinking that might have caused the frame hit that time, but no, everything is pretty smooth now.

Looks like the turbocharger and supercharger are there to help with that problem.

I like it, I'm a fan of planes where you have to manage everything rather than a computer doing it for you. The C-130 is one of my favorite planes for exactly that reason... Glass cockpit? Pfah!! Very Happy

Once you reach your cruising altitude you need to adjust your fuel mixture from rich to lean. Adjust your prop pitch for the optimum RPM's and you'll find you burn alot less fuel.
