1967 aviation world

[Bernard/Retroavia]

Hi John,

In your welcome post you mentioned that your FS is essentially settled in 1967. I also saw that you released quite a lot of flightplans matching with this period. It certainly would be interesting to use them with the aircraft you scheduled.

But finding all these required models would be a rather inestimable problem. Afaik, there aren't any packages including even only partially the needed airliners. How did you solved it?

Once I got the 1969 package from Oleg Chernikov, aka Aleck at Retro AI. It's by far not complete, but nevertheless Maybe that could be a suitable base.

Hi Bernard,

They aren't available as a package but most can be found by searching the usual download sites. A 1969 package would certainly be a good place to start, I expect most of the liveries were unchanged in that time. Christian Pagé at RetroAI has been knocking out a lot of 1970 liveries recently, too. I expect a few of the ones I use may be a few years out - but I wouldn't have the knowledge to notice!

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply. Apparently I missed this as I was in Italy the last few days. For the 1969/70 era I actually also use Christian Page's repaints and flightplans, as far as he created and made the latter available. I also have a package called “World Vintage Traffic”. A French created this around six years ago. He is a member of the French website "Pilote-Virtuel.com". According to his information, this package includes models from the mid-sixties to the early eighties.

It's a bit of a collection of different creations and therefore perhaps not entirely legal. It was also only offered unofficially and to members upon request. At most, he could be accuse of making the effort to offer another alternative to WOAI. Anyway, it livens up my FS9!

Here an example from Heathrow - with a lot of jets of course.




I tried looking for repaints for your flightplans in Retro AI Traffic Group. I haven't gotten very far yet, with the exception of those fot your Air Mali schedules. But I will stay tuned.


Cheers,
Bernard
