FS 2004
Hi,
I've just noticed the Pub has, amongst other goodies, tarts and I wondered what they were like?

Scenery & launch? We have not forgotten........
Gentlemen, I just talked with Nigel yesterday and all is well on the home front after a well deserved break and diversion. He intends to complete these these projects, and more. Hopefully he will have a chance to pop in before long. Don't know about you but I miss me fishin' buddy.
You bet I do too. Too quiet without ole Nigel.Originally Posted by Milton Shupe

Yay.... I'll be removing the plank off the Bounty then...
Glad to hear he's doing okay. I was starting to wonder what happened to him.Gentlemen, I just talked with Nigel yesterday and all is well on the home front after a well deserved break and diversion.

Speedy70, lemonadedrinker, zswobbie1, Milton, Maarten, Willy; dear friends 'Fishin'Buddies', missed y'all awesome!
Did I miss some tarts being passed around here?
Bounty scenery is a GO!
Milton's beautiful little skiff is definitely a GO!
EVERYTHING'S a GO!
Even the Tutor's a GOOOOOO!... just a quick OT peek until I post properly...

Nigel, as I have said to you several times already, this is an awesome looking model. Love all the details inside and out.
That is an absolutely beautiful plane you've got there. What model is it?
About the transparency issues - perhaps modifying one of the building textures to take reflection rather than transparency would solve the issue. I've noticed that throughout all versions of FS so far, if there are two textures with transparency that are behind one another as you view them, the combination is displayed as fully transparent. This might be solved by making sure one of the textures (as in the building behind your props, perhaps) is not set up for transparency.

Holy f..k! THat Avro is mouthwatering!!!
Hi Nigel,
Good to hear you're back in business ....
Cheers, Rob
That engine looks to have a lot of moving parts... I would expect nothing less than to hear each one clicking and clattering... as well as the ruckus combustion from each one of those cylinders. You ARE the master, Nigel... The cockpit as well as the visual model are literal eye candy, OUTSTANDING WORK!!

Well I have an A W E S O M E Fishing Buddy without whose expertise, patience, inspiration and extreme generosity, I would be at a total loss!Nigel, as I have said to you several times already, this is an awesome looking model. Love all the details inside and out.
Words can never express the gratitude, respect and admiration I hold for you - Bless you good Sir. :-)

Thank you, Sir; the model is the Avro 621 Tutor.
you probably didn't recognise her in the uncowled version.
The cowled model is probably more familiar. There ya go;
Re your suggestions on transparencies - always willing to take a shot at anything. We'll get there :-)
Thank YOU, Sascha - it's a ball to fly :-)
Great to be back in business, great to see YOU, Rob!
Cheers, Nigel
Great to see you Tom!!!That engine looks to have a lot of moving parts...

LOL! You know very well the valves and springs are animated.
Master? No!
But I'll gladly settle for Master's apprentice :-)

Nigel, the wee bird is such a gem! Can't believe how meticulously detailed the Tutor is in both guises, with and without cowling! :-O . Amazing is just an understatement!
Cheers,
Maarten
Aaaawe thanks Maarten :-)
Juggling act between wanting to add more and poly count saying NOooo!!!
Just means creatively finding workarounds and lots of LEARNING.

er, more correctly the cowling on Nigel's Tutor is a Townend Ring : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townend_ring
Either way, its looking fabulous Nigel.

Aaaawe thanks Pete :-)
Townend Ring it is indeed - thanks for highlighting the correct terminology, matey :-)

The final version sans Townend will also have the modified nose area - that's also the one I'll be fitting out with a pair of floats.
I'm seriously considering the Polish licence built, modified design variant; PWS-18.
This aircraft sported the slightly more powerful Avia Wright Whirlwind 9-cylinder radial (240 hp?)
I think I'd better set up a separate thread specifically for the Avro project, as hopefully, we should be seeing some developments on the scenery here.

What a beauty, Nigel

Sorry to interrupt, Nigel's plane is simply stunning, but...
about the HMS Bounty Project ........ ?
Hi Nigel,
A Greek version (w/Armstrong Siddeley Lynx) ?
Hi Manuele,Hi Nigel,
A Greek version (w/Armstrong Siddeley Lynx) ?
Oh yes, my friend; Greece were the largest customer for the Avro Tutor - first on my list :-)
