The Fokker F.XII trimotor early morning

The Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij had eight, and the associated company Koninklijke Nederlandsch Indische Luchtvaart Maatschappij had two F.XII's.

They were used on KLM's european routes, on the long Amsterdam-Batavia (Jakarta) line and to Darwin (Australia).

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:

(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.
