@TheMutePaper These are the skybox textures I'm using. Like I said it doesn't look as good with the lighting and time of day the screenshots were taken at, but it's a very good freeware addon (although its highly recommended you back-up your original skybox textures in case you don't like the new ones). My only complaint is I think the day-time sky is a little too dull/grey-ish. I miss the default deep-blue day-time sky textures, but the default dusk and dawn textures never looked that realistic to me (looked a little too purple/red-ish). But either way I highly recommend this addon.
@TheMutePaper Oh that XD. Ironically those are my tweaks. It's just after dawn so the sun is still low and everything is rather dim, by the skybox textures I have are actually very good, particularly right a dawn and dusk, but even in the daylight it still looks good.
@TheMutePaper
What do you mean? If your talking about the scenery (and how it appears mostly blurred in the distance), that's Moses Lake, WA for ya. Not a whole lot out there besides semi-desert, shrubs, and some crop fields. And stock FSX Grant Co. airport itself doesn't have a whole lot of buildings. I've got my FSX scenery settings nearly at max, with an exception for building/tree/vegetation autogen scenery, where its on low settings.

Flies like a dream! Although my only complaint I have is the engine prop fan blades tend to break if you land a little too hard, even though no part of the fan blade is sticking outside of the nacelle.
@WNP78
Nice! Those new tankers look sweet! Altough I have two questions: A: Can I change out the tankers that spawn in the mod with one of my own tankers? B:HOW ARE YOU REFUELING UPSIDE-DOWN!? I mean it's hard enough for me to follow the tanker and attempt at getting the probe anywhere near the basket!
@Notaleopard
More like a flying humpback humping the C-130 tanker...
Also it's not an Antonov. I mean it kind of looks like the Myasishchev VM-T, but it's a fictional aircraft derived from Texasfam04's GS-1 Globalstrike bomber. I originally made a hugely improved version used as a mothership/test bed for carrying some of my experimental weapons and air-launched drones. Since its such a great platform, I'm going to expand and make more variations of it such as a firefighter variant, cargo variant, tanker variant, and a "special/over-sized cargo" variant, which is the one your seeing in the picture.
@CptJacobson
Alright so why is the autocredit missing? You couldn't at least credit Texasfam in the description? I don't mind if people use other people's designs and improve them or make a variant of it, but if there is no autocredit to the original design, and there is no manual credit to the original creator, it kind of makes it look like you stole the design and wanted it to look like it was your own original design.

YES! Another major airport for SP! That makes two along with Kaper Town Airport. Thank you so much for making this mod!

What would FIA wish to partner with Rainier on?

@cammando205
Thanks!
@cammando205
Thank you, glad you enjoy them!
Wow it's amazing how mobile friendly this is despite the incredibly high +5,000 part count!
+3@FENRIRpapapa
No, Critical Mass was a tricked-out heavily modified Sea Fury
@DestinyAviation
Thanks!
Cool, it looks like Critical Mass, a Hawker Sea Fury Reno air racer.
@Skyler717
Oh ok. Removed the tag.
Damn! This is one of the finest F-4's I've seen on the site! Also appears we're having an F-4 invasion now. lol
+1We'll need about +90,000,000 of these so the 9-year-olds can fly them against T-series.
+2Lovely livery!
RIP
+1@Nerfenthusiast
Sure I guess.
@Nerfenthusiast
Yes.
@JED
Thanks man!
Oh this looks fun. I may do this over my Spring Break.
+1I just love how your builds look so professional and well-built, yet they are low-part count and simple. Great work!
+1@SaturnV
+1Thx!
@xXRaindropXx
Thx!
@Rsouissi
Oh ok. Well tag me your build. Although I might not be able to work on it today because I have a ton of schoolwork I need to do.
@yoshicraze
@SledDriver
Thanks!
@Rsouissi
Ok what do you mean by "rear gear"?
@TheChosenOne
That was the direct inspiration.

How does one have an engine in his stomach?

Oh snap, it's got a gravel kit too! I think Rainier would like 2 of these for long-distance VIP transport.

2 and 1
lol wut
@Notaleopard
It's basically kind of like the Airbus Beluga or the Boeing 747 LCF, except this is derived from a B-52-like bomber.
But yea it does kind of look like a jet-powered Lockheed Connie.
