First addition to a hopefully big collection - Air France Cargo 777F

Just got my first ever model plane and I’m stoked! I bough this a week ago from one of you guys and it looks amazing!

I was browsing this sub and saw someone posting a pile of boxes to sell them. This AF cargo 777 caught my attention and I knew I had to get it. The 777 is my favourite wide body jet and I‘m a huge fan of freighters.

This particular piece is even more interesting as it seems to have been made for the launch of the 777F, Air France KLM Cargo being its launch customer.

It’s a superb 1/200 model from Hogan with amazing quality and I love the wooden stand it came with.

Unfortunately, the glue did not age well (the model is from 2008) and did not survive the delivery (thanks DHL 🫠). Nothing a bit of superglue can’t fix thankfully.

Anyways I’m super happy with it. Hope you guys like it :)

Cherche référence marque de maillot vintage

Bonjour à tous,

En regardant les photos postées sur le profil Google d’une boutique de cyclisme près de chez moi, j’ai vu ces maillots vintage types années 80. Malheureusement, la boutique est fermée de manière permanente.

Pour le premier maillot, en effectuant une recherche avec Google Lens, j’ai vu qu’il avait été vendu sur un site belge d’enchère il y a quelques années.

Bref, j’aimerai savoir si vous reconnaissez la marque ’rider’.

Le nom du magasin est Novellox (74310, Les Houches).

The Tour de France on the streets of Paris

What do y’all think of my pictures? I’m a 16 year old photographer from Paris. I’ve been wanting to do sports photography for a while now and this is one of my first attempts (I also went to stage 12 a week ago).

Feeling pretty proud of this series of shots, especially the first one with MVDP and Pogacar chasing behind (they’re so fast I didn’t realise it was them until I looked at the picture on the backscreen of my camera lmao). I guess sitting on bird shit pays in the end.

I also really like my two shots of Julian Alaphillipe but I feel like the second shot doesnt really work as good as I intended. Maybe because he’s not perfecrly perpendicular to my lens? I wanted to emphasise the texture and the lighting on his back but I’d like to get your opinion on it.

Mes photos du Tour à Paris

La photo, notamment dans de grands événements sportifs comme le Tour de France, se fonde sur la planification. Malheureusement pour moi je m’y suis pris un peu trop tard hier et je n’ai pas réussi à aller à Montmartre comme prévu. En ouvrant Instagram je me suis dis que c’était finalement pas si mal vu le nombre de photos prises Rue Lepic (no hate).
Dites moi ce que vous en pensez!

Feeling kinda proud: flying my own livery for the first time! French Lines 715, service to Zurich

It's a very simple livery but hey, I'm still learning ;)

Question about Lossless Scaling

Hi everyone,

I recently saw Lossless scaling on sale whilst browsing Steam and I’m interested in it.

The thing is right now I’m getting around 20 fps (a bit less in dense areas near airports and a bit more in cruise but never more than 30 I would say) and although it’s bearable I would be happy to get more.

However I’ve heard it doesn’t work well when you have low fps and only performs when you already have a decent frame rate (like 30). Is this true?

Thanks for the help!

Joon, Air France’s attempt at an airline for millennials

I have a special connection to this airline as it was one of the first flights I took that I can actually remember (I flew a lot as a young kid but then stopped travelling for a while).

I took Joon flight JON1234 from Paris CDG to Berlin TXL (funny how both the airline and the airport have ceased operations).

Anyways Joon flew A320s and A340s to various holiday destinations around the world but unfortunately was not profitable enough which led to its demise in 2019, only two years after the first flight of the company

Fly high, Joon ✈️

Thanks Air_malta for the awesome livery! Check out his work here: https://discord.gg/wH3wf6455
