Looking good already !

[skyhawka4m]

love this variant!

[guzler]

Fantastic, this looks gorgeous and it aint finished, hurry up :)

[IanHenry]

Is there any chance that it will include a "Sky Pirates" livery? There is one on the fore court of the Buccaneer garage at Elgin, a few miles from RAF Lossiemouth.

Regards,
Ian.

XV863 Sea Witch/Debbie has gone up for sale here in Ireland recently. Apparently it was originally bought for a quite reasonable £5300 back when it was demobbed (~5 years ago?). Considering there's not much of a market for her I'd reckon it could be picked up at a very reasonable price now!:icon_lol:
Hopefully this one will be considered by the repainters too.:guinness:

[delta_lima]

Are we talking Ravenclaw's RAF and FAA S2 models for SFP1 and 2? I've been flying that in SFP1 waiting for the Flying Stations one(s) to finalize ... that's a mighty fine model in SFP1, likely the best SFP1 mod in recent years (along with Flying Stations' Wyvern for that sim). I'd be happy to fly that in this sim for sure! And of course, I'm hoping the Flying Stations S2 will materialize soon too.

One can never have too many Buccs! :icon_lol: Or, to borrow from the pilot fraternity of my other favourite plane (Crusaders) "When your're out of Buccs, you're out of bombers" ... :icon_lol: OK - I know, technically it's a strike aircraft ...Check Foodland Catalogue (https://www.ladysavings.com/publix-weekly-ad/?foodland/) and Foodworks Catalogue (https://www.ladysavings.com/publix-weekly-ad/?foodworks/). but the alliteration didn't work quite so well ...:running:

[UKMIL]

to be honest, I do not know the original author, as I have been tasked by a 'middleman' to do the conversion. But looking at pics, it looks like the same model

[Lateral-G]

Cool! I loved flying the S.2 in FS9.

Looking forward to this one.

Will there be some various load-out options? Can't wait ... well done.

Looks great:salute:

[sknepper]

Looking like a very detailed bit of work :salute:. Another great British classic from UKMIL to add to my hangar. Loved the FS2004 model, but the FSX version with that good looking VC will also be a stunner. Can't wait :wiggle:. Nice job!

[XLR8]

As always UKMIL...great work!

[OBIO]

That is a plane that I will fire FSX up to fly. Hopefully it is not Acceleration only...if it is, FSX will remain pretty much unused on my puter.

I am cleaning a spot on the deck for this!!:icon29::guinness::icon29:

Best, Paul

[sknepper]

Thanks for the update of a very good looking and well detailed VC :medals:. Worth the wait for this great project of an iconic British aircraft. It'll get a hero's welcome on my deck!

[delta_lima]

Looks just awesome!

Looks correct to the specifics of a late S2 cockpit, with the coaming-mounted altimeter, and other gauges on the right side that aren't there on the S1 or earlier S2 - well done.

[UKMIL]

this one is coming along nicely, but I am in dire need of a FDe specialsit. I cannot get this bird to fly right. Is there any FDE gurus who would like to assist me in this one?

[Prowler1111]

You can download SP2 which is free (AFAIK) and will solve most if not ALL issues

Oooh looks goods.

[hey_moe]

Thanks for your hard work. I am looking forward to flying her and adding to my collection :jump:

[Dexdoggy]

Looks fantastic!

[UKMIL]

now available to our club members

[delta_lima]

Good news!

Did you get the FDE sorted? Any updated pics would be great. Also what, if any loadout/different models are available. Love Buccs, no matter who makes them ... - might spring for this early ... :)

Good evening UKMIL,

I signed up again, but I still can not download the Jaguar nor Buccanneer!

"

You have tried to Download a file from UKMIL. IF YOU RECEIVE A PERMISSION DENIED message, it means you are trying to download a file listed for CLUB MEMBERS only. Please do NOT list it as broken, or email asking why you cannot download it. IF you ARE a club member, and get this message, then contact ADMIN "



I do not understand! Is it free or must pay to download them?
Thank you for your clarification!

Alain

[UKMIL]

the Jaguar is FREE to download, and you can happily get it. The Buccaneer is going through BETA, and we allow our CLUB MEMBERS access as BETA testers. THis is a perk of paying for a membership. Once Beta is done, you will then be able to download it for free. So, if you want it now, you will have to join our CLub, if not, you may wait until it is released as a RC version, when it will be free

[UKMIL]

Love Buccs, no matter who makes them ... - might spring for this early ... :)DLwith my limited FDE skills, I have it flying the best i can. FDE specialists are thin on the ground, and now matter how many times I ask for volunteers, no one ever wants to help, so you will get it as it is. I have it flying level above 300 knots, below this, it will pitch nose down, but adding some flap will correct this.The model comes with the usual customisable options, so you can pick and choose you own weapons on various pylons, like we have done with our Tornado, Harrier and Jaguar Packs

[delta_lima]

Thanks G!

For an older model, I thought your early FS9 model flew all right ... was there anything there that was worth salvaging? I'm assuming so ...

Bravo on what looks to be a great model.

cheers,

DL

[YoYo]

Can You put more VC screenies of final version? Outside Bucc looks very nice! Crg! :applause:

I will take a look at the FDE.......

The model itself is super!!

[delta_lima]

Agreed - have been flying the rivets out of that model in SFP2 - and it's a sheer beauty in that sim. I'm going to say top 10, if not top 5 non-commercial (as in, not counting Third Wire's Downloadable Content) add-ons for SFP2 in the last year. Ravenclaw did a magnificent job on it.

Looking forward to this model for sure ... may spring for it in Beta mode ... can't say no to any Bucc that comes my way ... :)

[Ian Warren]

Spectacular , anyone recall the documentary 'Sailor' and the mention the 'Buck' carrying two buckets of sunshine ... looking forward to this dang well done jet :icon_lol:

Hello,


Thanks, UKMIL for your answer!
However, I just try again for Jaguar and it is the same:" denied"!!!-????

Please note, the way our system works on our site, there is a flaw, which means you will get that warning screen on EVERY download. But, what is does not say, is that you CANNOT download. It says, IF you CANNOT download, this is the reason

so, you ACCEPT the warning, and if you have the correct permission, it will download, if not, it will not, so please try again

[napamule]

Ah come on, you are asking him to TRY AGAIN, knowing darn well he will get the same 'error' and NO download? Why don't you just tell him the truth. WHY don't you tell him he will NEVER be able to download any UKMIL file if he does not JOIN (ie: contribute $9.99) and become a member? You REALLY don't believe your own 'double-speak' and deceptive, 'half-truth', 'pitch', do you? Cheesh.

Sure, he is (supposedly) NOT paying for the model (the model is FREE) but paying for the bandwidth it takes to keep the files (at the ready) (for MEMBERS) to download. Hello! (Ever seen this: ''Free Download-FREE 30 day trial Period-Upgrade to 'Pro' for $XX.XX, etc''? It's the same thing. But I guess there is (REALLY) no 'free lunch'.

Hello,

I just had the time to download the Jaguar, but the link has given Delta Kilo! Thanks to him!:salute:
I do not understand why I'm not happened!
I must say that I use systematically an automatic translator!
Anyway, thank you all, and accept my apologies for my mistakes and the inconvenience!

This is too much Chuck. UKMIL run their site and system the way they like and no one should be unhappy about that. They become free to download after a beta period as can be seen above. Please moderate your comments in future!

Hi Roger, I really don't agree with the tone of some of the previous replies however I too have never been able to download from UKMIL as I always get the same message. Can you do anything DC?

Another well-intentioned, informative thread heading off the rails.

Why privately PM and courteously look to solve a problem, when OFF-TOPIC, inane, and complely inflammatory commentary will do?

Just what we needed, and at no better time. Bravo. Well done. Thanks for being part of making this hobby better.

Brian

Did you try downloading the Jag beta from the link in my previous post? Does it work for you? I've never had any issue downloading files from UKMIL's site...surely I can't be the only one!

@ DagR: Your comment disgusts me and comes across as trolling. You appear to have a serious chip on your shoulder as does Chuck (napamule) with regards to UKMIL. Bear in mind that a little civility goes a long way in our chosen pastime.

[sknepper]

What a great job on this most classic of British aircraft :wiggle:. I can't wait until after the beta testing, or maybe I may donate to the team so I can get it a bit quicker. Well done all of those involved in this little beauty of an aircraft. Thanks UKMIL.:salute:

[stovall]

Delta-Lima, don't worry, this thread will definitely stay in a positive mode. Roger gave a soft warning above with more firm action to come if needed. The Bucc S2 looks like a great aircraft. Looking forward to seeing more of her. Thanks UKMIL.

[StormILM]

I got my hands on the Bucc with a huge thanks to UKMIL reactivating my club membership(after the mandatory email change/anti-spam policy). It is a very nice model thus far and the VC looks great. I am currently working on updating the airfile and cfg file to try and get the flight dynamics up to speed(I'm doing this separately from Hank who's more of an expert on this than I am) but hopefully it will turn out well from one or both of us. Will try to get some screens posted of the model & VC after my tweaking is done later this evening.

To me there are some planes that just look SOLID; the Bucc and Grumman Cougar both have that made of iron look to them.

Looking forward to the ultimate release. Keep up the good work guys.

[StormILM]

Okay, with several hours of tedious work, I've managed to get the FDE feeling a lot better. As a reference I went off the Flying Stations Bucc S.1 but the UKMIL S.2 was close enough on many of the tables that I didn't make that many changes. Obviously the S.2 being a heavier and more powerful animal than the S.1, the two different models(Flying Stations & UKMIL) are going to fly differently but I did my best to stay within a respectable/believable FDE without cloning the other(the S.1). I'm pretty much satisfied with it except the need to iron out the yaw factors a little as there is a little bit of wallowing when banking back wings level out of a turn but this issue is minor. I also fixed the fuel consumption rate and a couple of other things in the cfg file. There are a few bugs to iron out in beta but near as I can see, they are minor(all the beta testers and devs know the ropes at this stage of finishing a project is like, the cake is baked, now time to add the icing!). I have a feeling this is going to be a very popular model when it comes out. So, as promised, here are some screens post FDE work.

Well I tried 2 days! So it's SOMETHING. Maybe not 'pay first'. Maybe XML? My AV won't allow xml to run/install/change registry/call home, so maybe that's it? Probably.

Ok, so I overreacted. Sorry about the put down Gaffer. I always have liked UKMIL stuff very much. You're the hardest working bunch in the sim world. I know you guys.

I worked last 2 days on your 'old' Buccaneer S2 to see if you would take my FDEs for it. I got it spec. Luck. No. Took your air file and 'polished' it and made changes to cfg file. You say not to make ANY changes to any file in your downloads, so I am hesitant to offer my files (or rather, YOUR files, with modification). Ah well. It's the same ole story: 'He said-She said'. Then nothing gets fixed due to 'xyz' getting in the way. (That is what hurts). I'm out.

[though I still hanker for some bug fixes for the Tonka instead]

When not messing with FSX skinning I administer a website of 4.6 million ....re skinning the Windows GUI [rather than aircraft]. There will ALWAYS be someone, somewhere that shoots from the lip before really engaging a brain.

As Ned Kelly said on the gallows....."Such is life" ....;)

sorry, bug fixes for the tonka are not coming, as after I released it, I lost ALL source coding for it due to a HDD crash.:engel016:
