Hello all,

well, at long last the final pack in the bubble canopy series of Canberras for FS9 is ready for download:

This pack covers test-bed, experimental and photo-reconnaissance Canberra roles. There are 9 total models in the pack, including the PR.3, PR.7, B.6 (mod) and T.22. Full details available here:

Happy flying and thanks to all those that have supported Flying Stations and in particular, this series of models. This was a rolling release of 8 packs, started Nov 2010 and ending here now in Feb 2012! A bit of a slog, but we got there in the end and lots learned along the way. While I do not have any plans to abandon FS9, my focus is now going to shift over to FSX development.

ATB for now,

Steve

Hello all,

for early customers of the pack who may have noticed a bug with the VOR/DME gauge, and a lights config issue with PR.7 WH793, I now fixed both issues and re-uploaded the pack. Turns out it was missing a file, my fault entirely. Your download links should still be valid, so please re-download for the updates. I will also send the link out again for existing customer just to make sure you get it. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Steve,

many thanks, downloading now.

I swear if I ever win big bucks on the lotto, I'll pay you handsomely to model exclusively for FS9, lol. (my system can run FSX without a sweat, just not my bag). Pipe dreams, I know, but one can hope.

Your a star for making two of my favs, the Cranberry and Seahawk.

always indebted,
Jamie

Cheers for that, Jamie, nice to know your work is always appreciated. In an ideal world FS9 development would be a viable thing (with or without that lottery money lol) but the truth is there just are hardly any takers for commercial products in this sim now. This release has really shown that to me, compared to say late 2010 when I started the series off. I put a fair bit into this last pack, and even though they are as much for me as anyone else, I think I will indeed have to focus on FSX now, but do my best to make them easy enough to knock out FS9 versions as well. I think for the most part it'll be easier to work backwards than forwards.

The other main thing now is poly count. When I started off, I was on an older system that could not handle FSX or higher polys on FS9; that has changed now and I really want to spend time making models even nicer now, especially in the VC department.m It's also about time I learned new texturing techniques that are used in X.

Final comment though - FS9 has been damn good to me and I have the sim running like a dream on my PC with all sliders maxed etc. It's going to be hard to shift away from it for a while till I get X looking the way I want to. Hopefully this is possible...
