    Sunderland MKV Package Uploaded

    I have today uploaded a Shorts Sunderland MK V package, this is the full aircraft. A few things, it is based on the Jens Kristensen Hythe but has been extensively modified. The aircraft is not an armed version such as used by Coastal Command but basically the post war era used essentially for maritime patrol and SAR work by the RNZAF and RAF. This one represents the RNZAF Q for Queenie, now preserved in the Auckland MOTAT Museum. While it is an updated FSX model it is not FSX native and it may not work at all in P3D. It works flawless for me in FSX-A. It has taken some time to get this out, but, a number of persons just did not respond to my emails etc advising them of my intention to do this, anyway anything used in it was mostly freeware and all original developers, makers etc are acknowledged. I also want to thank Just Flight for their permissions to use some bits.

    A little bit of housekeeping, this package requires some additional addons, the are the clickable cockpit sounds package "cockpitsounds_V2.zip", the McCoy water effects package, "mccoy_water_landing_2.zip" and I have used the Captain Sim Weather Radar addon (payware). Not having these should make no difference to what you see or do. A small note the Manual is in a format .odt some may not recognised (Its Open Office) but will open with MS WordPad. There is a HTML version just in case.

    I guess as it is unlikely that a Sunderland or other Shorts Flying Boat is ikely to make its way into the changing Sim World especially over the 64 bit event horizon, so this may be it for Shorts boats for awhile. People like Jens Kristensen are far and few between and it is worth remembering in this little effort just what a marvellous model builder he was, especially of long forgotten aeroplanes. If you don't like it thats fine, I originally did it for myself but if you do, have fun!

    Any feedback or questions best be posted here.
