Fled, is this F.XII by Jens Kristensen? I have here installed an F.VIIb of his, which is a single engined one, quite beautiful, but this three-motor is even better... oh, yeah! found it:

-> library.avsim.net/esea...DLID=96602

(I can't dare to attach a thumbnail - your screenshot says it all)

Even his C.V/M26 looks nice a lot:

-> library.avsim.net/esea...DLID=96610

File Description:
FSX and FS2004 Fokker C.V-M/26. This aircraft made an epic flight from Copenhagen to Tokyo and back in 1926, flown by A.P. Botved (pilot) and C.J.C. Olsen (mechanic). The Fokker C.V was a very succesful series of aircraft used for reconnaisance, as a light bomber or a two-seat fighter. It could be fitted with a lot of different engines, and wings of several configurations. This aircraft (R1 of the Danish Army Air Force) was powered by a 512 h.p. Lorraine-Dietrich 12eb inline engine. It was delivered as a C.V-C with square wings that made it look like a scaled-up Fokker D.VII. For the long-distance flight it had longer, tapered wings of the C.V-E type fitted, and all military equipment was replaced with extra fuel, oil and supplies for the crew. Version 1.1, modified to work with FSX as well as FS2004.

I love those old planes and that one up top, (great pic by the way), is an excellent example of them. _________________ Not really, but you never know!
