Excellent! Borrowed by Armstrong and Miller some thirty years later

I am much preferring this later banter compared to the previous "banter".

I laugh out loud every time I think of those Armstrong and Miller sketches.

Apologies for the late reply. I've only just returned to the office from our annual Flight Simulator show at RAF Cosford so I've not seen this thread until now.

We are looking into your feedback and will update you shortly.

I'm not sure how making an inquiry about a developer creating a new aircraft qualifies as me saying that another product had a defect? I would like to see an AH version of the Mirage III...maybe Swiss RS version? BTW there's not really anything wrong with the RA Mirage III.

Cheers Martyn

You mention the FS Show at Cosford.. I'd forgotten all about it and could have gone

I usually work weekends so had mentally filed the show into file 13. My better half would have loved it too

Thankyou Rick - you're a gentleman to say so. It just annoys me to see payware automatically praised above freeware, which in many cases provides a superior product. I am not part of Restauravia, just a happy client.

I run fairly high contrast on my monitor so I needed a little help in the vc to see gauges and switches so I added this line to the aircraft.cfg:

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit
light.0 = 4, 9.180, 0.0, 2.720, fx_vclight

Thanks. I'll give it a try. Had the same problem seeing various switches and needed some vc flood lighting.

Picked up the Service Pack for the Meteor this morning and was pleasantly surprised with one of the changes. With all the discussion about the engine nacelle interiors I was dreading an all black interior of the nacelles but was happy to see only the main spar was a metallic burnt black. However I feel that the engine parts are too dark and you cannot make out the engine parts. Overall the changes made in the Service Pack were good but I was disappointed with the engine nacelle interiors. Feel it was a little overdone. JMHO.

**Timmy74** · October 12th, 2016, 03:42

I am truly grateful for the efforts and work that has gone into this aircraft. Thank you very much to all involved.

However, I believe in the VC position, the "view point" is to low in this aircraft. Now this raises another issue....when I go to amend my view point (higher and a little forward) the gun site ring on the HUD moves out of frame.

Other than that she is nice.

Cheers,

p.s. The RAAF paint A77-17 is incorrect! "Bowl Em Over" was actually A77-207 flown by Pilot Officer Geoff Collins.

Could you post a screenshot?

Does anyone else see the same using a TrackIR?

Pat..
Look around the web and see how many shots you can find where you can actually see what's down the nacelle. I've found one. It's an air to air shot taken slightly off centre and the Meteor (it's an F8 too) is flying pretty much bang into the sun in the climb. Under these circumstances.. you would be able to see the proverbial black cat in a coal house!! Honestly.. it IS rather dark inside

WRT the views expressed in previous posts, remember that what one sees and what one perceives are two different things. To illustrate, it is estimated only 10% of what we perceive is actually seen by our eyes... the other 90% is interpolated and extrapolated by our brains! This is a scary thought when driving down the highway, surrounded by other drivers who are also only seeing 10% of the world around them! The same logic applies to witness statements from crime scenes and intelligence analysis... worrying indeed! The relevance here is that what one person sees and perceives of a real Meteor engine intake and sees and perceives in a rendered 3D model of a Meteor will not be the same, let alone the same as another individual. This would certainly apply to shade and brightness... and don't even get me started on "colour", whatever that is!! I'm not taking any sides here (and I don't even own the AH & JF Meteor!), merely raising awareness...

...and with age, we rely more on experience to work out what we're seeing, sometimes leading to surprising initial impressions when encountering the unexpected. I'll just leave that with you and ask if someone can pass the Horlicks, thanks.

Fine model, Martyn et al, mighty fine!

The gunsight is collimated.

I do not use "Track IR" but here are the two screen shots of what I mean....

Standard "view point". Gun sight ring can be seen...

When I move my "view point" to which I think is correct...and matches the pilots head height from out side shots. You can only just see the bottom of the gun sight ring.

Cheers,
Tim.
