Hi Macs - Good pics - Pretty sure I have that Victoria Falls scenery but only in my VFR install. Unfortunately, like a lot of other good mesh stuff, it needs Terrain_Max_Vertex_Level=21, and if I set that in the Classic install, Wolfgang's retro Orly doesn't work, because it needs TMVL=19  But I did manage to fly under the bridge, after sideslipping a Tiger Moth over the falls and into the gorge   ;D ATB MikeW |

They have to be somewhere I'm sure. When I find them I'll post them. Macs |

If it is not too much trouble could you send it to Flightsim.com as well. Still works much better for me than AVSIM.

I thought at first the airliners.net pictures where from days past, but found out ROVOS is a current airline. It must be an amazing experience to ride on one of these classic birds in real life Also, I thought their livery is one of the most elegant I've seen yet on an airliner, very nice. regards, Macs |

Yes, Rovos Air is a subsidiary of Rovos Rail Tours, a luxury rail tour company that runs high-end train tours in Africa. They started the "airline" in 2001 as an addon to the company and acquired initially 2 Convairs, a VC-131H (ZS-ARV) and a C-131D-CO (ZS-BRV). In 2002 they acquired a C-47A-DK (ZS-CRV) which is the only active aircraft in the fleet still. They also operated a DC-4-1009 (ZS-AUA) from 2004 until 2005 on lease from Springbok Classic Air (which is the former PH-DDS and is now with Skyclass). Finally, they've had 3 different F-28's on their roster, but they appear to be short-term Wet Leases as all were returned to the lessor within months of being leased.

Good looking repaint. Probably one of the best liveries ever on a Convair (in my opinion). Thanks for the screen shots and your excellent work!
