you're welcome

troll alert..... BTW, did you even care to read all the help that has been provided within a few minutes ???

You can't start her up since more than 30 days ? Now that's what I call endurance ;) Starting the Milviz F-86 is as complicated as pressing ctrl+e !

elevator_trim_limit increases the available trim range which only makes sense if you run out of trim on the low and/or high speed range. elevator_trim_effectiveness increases trim response over the whole trim range.

nice work pal... here's my current work in progress, projected for sale with Classic Air Force in Newquay...

LOL thanks for pointing out my "arrow" errr, error. :-)

Depending on your OS, you can simply right click on the air file, select Properties, on the General Tab, Opens With "Select Program", and select the editor you use. The Icon will revert back.

I'm not that daft - I wasn't fooled for a minute by all those curls; spotted ya first time! (Seriously, good to hear from you, Pete :wavey:)

Bernardo, I am not leaving; only the website. :-)

the Greek Phantoms are regularly found at Andravida AB, Tanagra AB, Larissa AB... occasionally Aktion and sometimes Souda AB, only time you'd likely see them above Rodos is if they're toying with a Turkish F-16 who's sniffing around the border :icon_lol: i don't think it's economics... well partially it is, but along with the A-7's they're Greeces Primary attack aircraft and until next spending review (next year) no replacements can be looked at... but in saying that Greece have looked at Flanker and Typhoon... to replace the Mirage's as i recall, Phantom once again is too loved and keeps escaping the retirement :icon_lol:

it's a pop-up window if i recall... cant for the foggiest remember which though :icon_eek:

sad to hear this i lived under the Approach at Larissa AB in Greece till i was 6 or 7-ish... Phantoms were my daily fix... used to go right over the top of the house, i remember my mum being angry once because she had put an empty glass on the wall just as a Phantom was doing a pass for some event, it hit the burners to climb right over the house and the glass went 'walkies' off the wall... me laughing, my mum shooing me away from the broken glass :icon_lol: good news is Ferry that Greece have no plans to retire theirs any time soon, they're determined to be the last Phantom Operator, so the old 'brick' (there's a saying 'the RF-4E, flying proof that given enough thrust even a brick can fly') will be about for a few years yet...

truly great news, you the man Gaffer! :ernae:

nice Gaffer, great to see a Freeware Typhoon FGR.4 (i assume) in the works! looking forwards to this!... have a beer on me! whack it on the tab! :salute::ernae:

wonder how many other SoH'ers are going? likewise with me that weekend is busy for me... arrive Friday around Midday, set up phase 1 of the 'enclave' (my tent), meet up with a friend, go walk the site, dodging any taxi'ing aircraft in the process (Was stood to the left of the C-5M just prior to startup last year, under it's wing talking to it's crew), then Saturday and Sunday work and watch the Show, then Monday watch the Departures until about 1700-1800 where i'll head to dismantle my tent and RV with my folks who'll be caravanning in the Cotswolds... then a few weeks later go Property hunting in mother Greece... all joy! :icon_lol:

Ferry, it's what Air Atlantique became, they moved from Coventry to Newquay and rebranded. i do Profile artistry for them, am on my second piece for them... the Dragon Rapides (The silver one like was at Volkel, and it's sister Ship 'Sybille', named in memory of a former volunteer pilot who flew her) first one i did was their Chipmunk (not on sale yet but 2 hang at Newquay, one in the Boss' Office i think it was, the other in the 'Departure lounge' where Pax wait for their pleasure flights) they're a living Museum so they aim to keep as much flying as they can :salute: the Air Atlantique DC-3 is a Classic Air Force airframe also, as are 2 others... G-AMPY and G-ANAF being the other two...

as Stuart said; Great photos! Stuart the 'Annie' is the only one Airworthy in Europe if i recall, Belongs to Classic Air Force at Newquay, it's a T.21 registered G-VROE... http://www.classicairforce.com/the-aircraft i was supposed to be at the Luchtmachtdagen, but a financial issue arose just a month before the show stopping me getting out there, ah well there's always next year... :jump: http://www.classicairforce.com/the-aircraft

love the Sea Vixen... but then again i love those early twin boom jets.... last time i was at Yeovilton the SHARs and HARs were having fun there as i was 'fence-sitting'... i like the South-West, nice bit of country beats the Midlands by a long shot... but neither compare to Mother Ελλάδα, she is to me as the national motto says "Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος" :icon_lol::icon_lol: back to Yeovilton, think i might go fly some SHARs or HARs off the ramp...

Do that, Matt - Yeovilton used to be my regular aviation haunt - I love that place. Years ago, your visit was almost certainly rewarded with the Sea Fury, Firefly or Swordfish on a check flight or all three departing for an airshow. The museum was sensational - that's where I fell in love with the big American radial CATS! Big, staunch, beautifully engineered, carrierworthy babies towering over the FA birds. When I was at secondary school in Torquay during the early '70's, we'd get a Camberra flyover every Thursday as regular as clockwork (undersurfaces yellow/black diagonal stripes). A REALLY extra treat would be the appearance of a Sea Vixen - man what a lorry of a crate!

yeah Kev and Martin are a great crew... can always tell which one has the controls at take-off, Saturdays at RIAT it used to be Martin result; very elegant wing over to the 45 axis, on the Sundays was Kev... he just throws that wing over just showing how fast that roll rate can be... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETB9s2slKA4 Video from the bomb aiming blister there at RIAT 2012... flown by Kev.... in fact at 1:58 in that vid i can actually see my tent on the Military Camp :icon_lol: well our tents... a few of us form a micro-compound/enclave (Only way to describe it) :icon_lol:

... seriously, after a days profile work i go blind as a bat and am forced to put the glasses on (hate the damn things! although they are nice Tag Heuer frames :icon_lol:) back on track... i really have to get to Yeovilton sometime...

LOL :cool:

Hi Andy, thanks for the HU :wavey: I think I must have downloaded the WIP version; Looking in to it!

sadly not for the default one over in the dark side.... yet.... but i have 3 of the 4 bases covered... thanks for the compliments regarding the mustang paints, i do have a few in the pipeline, though mostly for the Freeware Warwick Carter P-51D

BB she's a beauty really, good bunch of guys too... played Twister with them at RIAT 2011, and had a drink with them last year, it's Pilot Kev (affectionately nicknamed 'Wingover' by many) Rumens is a contact of mine... Ian you attending RIAT this year?

LOL Oh you will do fine; just takes a little time to warp your head around it. I have released all my gmax source so there are reference materials available. The basics of animation I believe are the same but FSX requires use of the animation tool. At any rate, if you need help with the basics, I would be happy to get online with you to talk you through it.

nicely done buddy! how's the Profile Artistry going by the way?

looking at it again, yeah are we sure he's there, or do i need to put my glasses on? :icon_lol:

well as a formerly qualified long range marksman i'm stumped and i'm used to picking up on VDM's (thats Visual Distinguishing Marks)... do we get a clue? :icon_lol::icon_lol:

she's looking fantastic, hope to see her in a months time at RIAT! :jump:

Wouldn't be this one by any chance, Pete ol' matey! Anyone game for a spot of "Find The Pete"?...:jump: Nice Photos. Ian. Thanks for sharing. You wouldn't be thinking of working some of your magic on Yeovilton by any lucky chance, would you Ian?

Willy, I reckon you need a Sea Fury while the Seafire gets patched up. :kilroy:

but yeah... i'd give that landing a 9.....

"When a prang seems inevitable, endeavour to strike the softest, cheapest object in the vicinity as slowly and gently as possible." (Advice given to RAF pilots during W.W.II) :icon_lol::icon_lol:

?? The 'up is down' and 'down is up' is not a 'problem', it's the same on almost every airplane with a fixed horizontal stabilizer and apart from the animation you don't notice it at all. Trim is certainly not ineffective, even at 250mph there's still a lot of nose down trim available. But if it's not working for you simply double the trim effectiveness in the cfg file elevator_trim_effectiveness =1.0

erm.... funny thing y'know.... :icon_lol: i had started to whack some Polemikh Aeroporia markings and Ghost camo on one a few weeks back... was just toying with it, only had the left wing done before i moved onto work...

FMC? AP? Who needs that. My average touch & go pattern in the real A320 sim usually takes less than minute! No need to program anything. FADEC and FBW are taking care ;) The A320 is actually a very nice handling and very capable airplane. Last time I had so much with manual flying was back in my PA-18 times. In the sim I always start on the runway with the engines running. It's a FLIGHT sim, and flying should be fun :)

all are now available on Flightsim.com and here at the SOH library... Enjoy! :salute:

Glad you (re)discovered the Local Coordinate System for aligning pivots to your animated parts. :-) You probably read about it in some of my many explanations as I always emphasize that. Yes, that extraneous vertex. Good find; always the reason when you have this issue usually caused when you are recreating polys. Have fun :-)

the final iteration... the 'Wozza-stang', writing the .CFG now and the rest of the usual 'bumf' then will upload :salute: edit: Wozza-Stang and A2A WWII Fighters textures uploaded, now the wait :)

yeah this is now the 3rd time i've done this scheme, for the FSX A2A WOPIII P-51D, the FS9 WOPII P-51D and now the 'Wozza-stang' and i've got to admit i kinda like going from one to the other, to the other, it's actually pretty quick to do also... already got the reg, and roundels onto fuselage and wings, just the fin remains then the Alpha channel tweaking :salute: in addition if anyone wants my P-51D paintkit for the Wozza-stang just drop me a PM and i'll mail it over to you...

neg, but i can also do it for the Wozza-stang... give me an hour or two ;)

Nice going Matt, for the grooviest freeware P-51, too! :applause:
