DO-27 Over Guernsey + Castle


Recommended Posts

Thanks guys! :thum:

The Dornier is a bit of a bone-shaker but a great old bird to fly.

Have you flown over Sark yet?

I thought I was takeing off in a tractor when I first rolled down the runway! :P

I have flown over Herm and Sark, only got the one shot though with the islands in view. I have actually visited Herm (I think it was Herm, the one with the beach! :P ) and Guernsey in real life, it was an awesome little place!

The release I am desperately waiting for though is Jersey, I have been there many times in real world, it is a beautiful place to visit and I would love to do some approaches over the St Ouen`s beach ! :)

Here is a link to a thread that I made a few months ago showing a few of the Do-27 repaints that are about . http://forum.mutleys...-do-27-fsx-sp2/

Also if you register your plane at Aerosoft and then look in your updates/patches you will find a complete new model of the Dornier "DO27-B2" ;)

I don't have the kantana so can't compare the two.

But if you run the Do-27 in pro mode it dishes out engine and electrical damage if you abuse it, also the flaps are a bugger for getting jammed if you drop them when your going to fast.

it take ages for it to repair any damage to the engine, so you should fly it carefully, unless you fancy sitting on the ground twiddling your thumbs before every flight.

BTW: This plane is a port over from FS2004 so there is no DX10 preview and don't expect to be getting good FPS from it either, I can only get about 20 to 25 FPS with it on my system, although this should improve if your running an top dog i7 computer ;) .

Yeah sounds like the katana :) might get this as the katana is crazy good! We will see! Does look great though! Does it have night lights e.g. cockpit or panel lights? One thing the katana lacks but true to the real plane!

yep cockpit lights are included with this model, also the A2A shockwave lights look fabulous on this aircraft :).

PS: I should also add that the young man in these videos Michael Grzimek died on-location during the filming of the documentary when "D-ENTE" collided with a vulture and he lost control of it.
