Roadmap for the remainder of 2014

Hi everybody,
 
I thought it would make sense to publish a roadmap for the upcoming period.
 
 
 
The Dutch early and late versions of the D.21 are almost there, only minor changes need to be made (possibly in updates) and I'm working on a manual.
In the meanwhile, I'm working on the Danish version of the D.21. Since I am a little 'D.21-tired', I won't put too many effort in this now. It will come anyway, believe me!
Besides that, I'm starting on a new project. Some people may know, most however don't. Until mid-November, I'll call it Project X. ;) That will have priority, and in the meanwhile I'll be working on Dutch D.21 release, updates and Danish D.21.
 
Hope that's clear for you!
 
Regards

Some history-based shots

 
Hi everybody,

There's something to celebrate today, so I want to share a series of shots with you. For those that don't see why these specific shots: these are historical shots, reproduced in FSX. After entering the Dutch Air Corps, D.21s made a publicity flight, while photos were being made. Using the known locations, I was able to make FSX shots here. Sadly, I've only one D.21 at a time (one airframe too) and no other birds. So 213 feels a little lonely here. I'm sorry that I can't post the original pictures here, I guess this will have copyright problems.

One photograph shows the first four D.21s (212-215) at the apron at Schiphol, which is currently Schiphol-East.
 
 
A second picture shows 213 and 215 with T.5 852 in formation above Fortress Aalsmeer. This fortress is today used by CRASH museum, and the only remaining wreckage of the Dutch D.21s, 229, is exhibited there. The fortress is to be found in the far left, middle (greenish area).
 
And two other shots, showing 212, 213 and 215 in close formation.

 

 
Furthermore: current project status: finishing User Manual for the Dutch version.
