SHOW - Shots in 65:24 format (Xpan)

I usually only shoot raw and process in DxO, and have noticed that any shots taken using the 65:24 format are just shown as full fram shots. I am guessing the crop only applies to jpegs.

In Lightroom, the original crop format is preserved by default, but if you go into the cropping tool, the full frame is there and you can crop to anything you like. I'm guessing that the camera is adding EXIF data to describe the in-camera crop and that LR is respecting that but DxO isn't.

Thanks Paul, I suspect that must be the case. I could post on the DxO forum although in truth it's not a big deal. Within DxO there is a crop tool that allows selection of predefined formats. While 65:24 isn't there, you can create your own so I did that and now it appears as a custom option so it's easy to convert in post.
 
A couple of photos of the skyline in Vienna:

Really nice Xavier!
 
Intriguing aircraft.

Were the turbines running? According to his website, with the extra thrust from the turbines, the aircraft should be able to hover (so long as the pilot lays off the pies).
Yes, the turbines were running and we were treated to some hovering. He doesn’t hold the hover for long though because he needs the piston engine running too which causes some torque roll so the hover slowly turns into a rotation. He’s thinking of changing the jet alignment to give some counter thrust. The guy is an absolute nutter. He gave us a talk about the turbines last winter and the whole project is fascinating. He’s done other mods too, including an extended elevator to give more pitch authority during manoeuvres.

Wow, that is a cool Pitts. His web page says the turbines aren't yet authorized for flight, so this must be very recent.

Yes, this display was the first public showing of the jets working.
