Looks great John. I watched that movie already earlier this day. I recognised the formation and knew your screenshots must have been based on this movie. The painting my father did was based on a picture he had in a book. My father could paint really beautiful skies. Cheers, Huub

I don't have, sorry. But, when I read this: + I feel happy! :icon_lol:

Thanks John, downloading now. BTW nice screenshots of the flying circus. The second screenshot reminds me of a painting my father once did. It has been above my bed for many years and suddenly I wonder what happened with it as I left it with my parents when I left home and both my parents aren't there anymore to tell me. Cheers, Huub

The mission is called:Operation Chastise and the mission pack holds everything wich is required

the plane is the:ETO_Lanc_M3_Dam,it carries a weapon called:AvHistory_gb_DepthBomb_Upkeep it is equiped with a special range finder and leigh lights that converge at 30ft. Still looking for the mission in ETO 1943.:kilroy:

I seem to remember there is a Dam Buster mission arround, with the especially fitted lancaster with the range finder , bouncing bomb and lights to adjust the heigth, but i cannot seem to find it at the present time.:kilroy:

If you're buying in the UK (hello old chap, from another in Blighty :wavey:) then go for an 8-hour rated chair iirc. Just keep the kids - or grandkids as applicable - off it. Mine played with the height adjustment so much it won't stay at the height I prefer any more. But it is comfortable! If you're sitting in it longer than that at a stretch then I don't want to clean the crumbs from your keyboard...

Thanks OC, much appreciated!

Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding service to God and your work Bill!:salute: Ted

There's been a few proggys on the TV about it and a radio2 broadcast tommorow night which sounds very good. Have managed to miss all of it so far and am out tommorow! :( Thank goodness for Iplayer and catchup tv! I wanted to get the Dambusters cfs3 pack improved but ran out of time this year. With the coming of the Alphasim CFS2 source model we have something to work on for a future anniversary.... (the current one has incorrect lamps etc.) We need more bods willing to get their hands dirty! :)

yes!

Yes I think you're right Pete now I come to think about it, definatley have seen Mathias' Walrus model and someone had a nearly finished Fury/Hart. The Bulldog is coming along quite quickly, it's great being able to start with an almost complete fully textured model! am working on the 'pit at present then need to add damageboxes, emmiters, end caps and Lods. Shouldn't be more than a few weeks. :) I want to get their set of pre war RAF types up and flying.

This is the beastie, would make a good ai model once the animation and props are sorted. Anyone care to take it on? :)

Just letting you know you did an amazing job up to this point :O) Ted

Looks great from the air too bad we cannot get a ground version in QC. Tried attacking the airfield with the BF109e2 from JG77 got a great shot! COOL!!

Do we have an HE115 in cfs3? I can't find one and there's a useable CFS1 Alphasim model which I have. At present working on the Bulldog, then there's a Hart, Hind, Felixstowe and Heyford ripe for conversion too. :)

No, there's something coded into cfs3 methinks. If you start in the air in qc you'll see the animation but not from a runway start. Would love to be shown differently!

I must have missed something,but is it possible to have tis working in QC?

If you want photos of a Hudson, I have some from the RAF museum Hendon's Mk.III. Drop me a PM if you want 'em

Gosh you've been busy Ted! :salute: And not all aircraft fly like Dorniers! :icon_lol:

Nice scenery Francois. Are the black&white ground textures intentional? Cheers, Huub

Once an object is mapped, it's mapped until you re-map or edit the mapping via Unwrap UVW. Reset Xform won't affect that at all. Where I had a problem was objects I applied a mapping of equal length and breadth to but it showed as oblong. (yes, I had clicked View Align...) Played merry hell with the paint kit! Something like this:- Once a Reset XForm had been applied a square mapping was square, no arguments.

Thanks John, I have the paintkit. Now I need to find some time to make some good use of it. Cheers, Huub

Wow, just released, but already a Classic! Thanks Restauravia team! Huub

I'm really looking forward to you work John. It is a real coincidence as I was actually looking for a paintkit for this model. And Google brought me to this thread! :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol: The Dutch "Early bird foundation" has two Dr-1 replica's one built by the foundation (PH-DRI) powered with a Siemens radial engine and one replica built in the US powered by a 165 HP Warner radial engine (PH-EBF). http://www.vroegevogels.org/en/fokker-dr1 The green/red one is currently on display in the Aviodrome museum. Chris "Eagleskinner" Brisland did a repaint depicting the blue one. I was intending to do one of Manfred van Richthofen's aircraft, most likely one which isn't completely red. I assume it will be included in your release. If not, I would love to have a copy of your paint kit.

Hi Ted, Would be a pleasure, will get them over to you in the next day or so. Anything else there take your fancy? Clive

YEP you're right on P! I had every album they ever did...AWESOME! Ted

Ah, beat me to it David, I couldn't find the file on this mess of a HD! Looking forward to seeing this Joost. :)

Great work, as always, Daniel! Thanks for that, works a treat. :applause:

Thanks got it,works fine!:applause:

In wich part of the sounds.xml file do you add the required lines?

I'm really disappointed there's no option to bolt a kitchen sink under each wing... but in all seriousness has anyone looked at the promotional material at the JF site? I just did and I'm moderately sure a clean option is displayed in the video. :blind: But what do I know, I haven't bought it. Yet. Baz, that's a really good-looking model, kudos! :applause::applause::applause:

Reset XForm condenses all your scale, rotation and other operations on an object, sets scale on the object to 1 and aligns the object's pivot to the Gmax world. If you like, it lets Gmax get an accurate handle on the object's size etc after we've been knocking it into the shape we want. Collapse the stack and you've got editable mesh or poly ready for animating or mapping. Without this you can get really odd mapping problems, even if you use Reset Scale or Reset Transform buttons on the Command Panel (Hierarchy tab). It's also possible for Gmax to 'lose track' of the object's shape while we're altering it to the extent that a rotation animation on a flap will actually distort the object, not rotate it. I've had both these problems happen and only Reset XForm got the thing back under control. Just do it before animating or linking other objects to it in a hierarchy.

Yes!!! :jump::jump::jump: Thank you Alphasim!

Very cool Ted! :applause:

Yes that ones converted ok, too many models and too little time at the moment! :( Maybe one we can come back to sometime if someone was prepared to do all the files required.

It's a stock one. Yes that ones eluding me too at the moment, I think its a coded thing. Yes I had a go at getting some Spits taking off and buzzing around Biggin Hill. Have been sidetracked by all those lovely Alphasim models at the moment but some attacking bombers would be good, Lympne and Manston and Hawkinge all got plastered but then again all the southern bases did!

Lovely landscape. Talking about landscape, the 'País Vasco' coast in the North of Spain is beautifull with montains falling into the sea. Last week, I've been to Gaztelugatxe, it was absolutely beautifull. Sorry, I forgot my camera in the hotel that day!... but there are some nice pictures here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaztelugatxe

1st World War aircrafts are amazing.

Thanks for the update!

On the Hampden picture .003 the plane drops a mine.Where can I get this weapon with the required files?

Looks lovely country Owen, I only know the song by Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. So do tell, did she start carving her name on the Lonesome Pine in the moonlight....? :pop4:

Hi Panzer, for your first question, yes its normal to see the splash screen saying 1.40 after the 1.40b hotfix. theres also a small hotfix 1.40c which fixes one of the airfields regards Rob.

Thanks guys and thanks especially for the review from simHQ! It looked very impressive. Ted

What is the lates progress on this bird?

A very promising project Bill! Thanks for the images. The picture of the big A is taken in the National Army Museum in Brussels (Belgium). When my memory is still correct the history of this aircraft was on the sign in front of the airplane. I might have a picture of this sign or perhaps JanKees can have a look as he is living in Brussels. Cheers, Huub
