Sadly, here we have another product page with no bloody pictures that anybody can see. If someone (cough, Roger) purchases this product, please be so kind as to kick First Class in the backside (as a customer I think you are entitled) and then could you please post some images?

[stiz]

i'm gonna guess its along the same lines as the magister, round the world in 80 flights, hurricanes, and maybe early years of flight

[Tim-HH]

HERE you can find some pictures of the Wellington. But unfortunately there are no pictures of the VC...

Greetings

If it was downloadable I might risk it but I don't usually do snail mail orders.

[Nick C]

Good point Roger, I wonder if it will become available as a download?

Thanks for the link Tim, I'd still need to see some VC shots before purchase however.

Ooooo and we have a new smiley, excellent :bs: :d

I was hoping it would be in Game. It wasn't (although pretty much every other FCS title is). It may appear on Friday, or the Friday after, we'll see.

I'm very tempted, for a variety of reasons, but will contact FCS directly tomorrow and express peoples' concerns. I need to phone them anyway.

A little bit of research by one of the guys at simMarket has uncovered this...

Thanks Ian :ernae:

[Mithrin]

I just don't have the money anymore and that saddens me. It looks quite nice. I'm slowly drifting out of the payware market I'm afraid.

Don't want to stir up that subject again though, it looks rather nice.

[SkippyBing]

VC doesn't look too bad although IF looks a bit tricky with the control column where it is!

[Ferry_vO]

Nice VC! Great detail on the geodetic structure too. :

Amazon have a release date of 5/12 and Play 12/12

Mentioned this over at CBFS.The model itself looks okay, but is ruined by this ludicrous wood grain effect. I just can't understand why things like this get past whatever quality control regime there may be. What on earth were they thinking of ?





If comes with a paintkit, or some good repaints appear, I might get it. Otherwise, another false dawn for FSX owners.

[gajit]

It looks :bs: to me - very disappointing

Care to elaborate? I mean admittedly the wood effect on the textures looks a bit naff, but the model itself and the VC look rather good?

Me too, it is getting pretty expensive......the world money situation is

Need I say more - bit naff is an understatement. I am always suspicious when there is a lack of detailed screenshots of a product and have learnt the "hard" way - being optimistic with my "hard" earned case.

It would be great to have a decent Wellington but this does not show much promise at the moment.

[IanP]

Having dug a bit further, it appears that the "general" release of this one won't be until the first half of December - as has already been stated by noddy above. I wonder how many of those shots are beta models?

I guess we'll find out next month.

I do hope it turns out better than I'm anticipating - I would honestly love to be proved wrong on this one.

[Nick C]

I thought it looked OK from the pictures Ian linked to, however as he says, we'll find out next month.

Fair enough I suppose. I just thought saying it was cow **** was a little bit harsh based on some screenshots.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one personally, I'd love a good FSX Wellington.

[Roger]

The "Wood effect" is weird but I hope these comments will reach the developers before release and perhaps the Wellie will be good.
One thing that amazes me (and undoubtedly Nick too) is the ubiquitously poor quality of shots that developers take of their projects. Anti-aliasing...who needs it? Anisotropic filtering...bah humbug!

[noddy]

Well I have placed an order for it, be good to have some more WWII stuff.
