    Neat video. It always amazes me how they can create these. Love the cameos of the Canberra and Dove.

    The video is indeed quite cool.
    But, have you noticed the fixed (non-collimated) reticle ?

    EDIT: correction -> the video is note "quite cool". It's REALLY cool actually

    Did someone forget to paint under the airbrakes?

    I think the video was made before the collimated gunsight was added.

    Downloaded, installed and a brief 45mins behind the stick on my return from work this evening. A lot to like about it.. some things I'm not sure of yet. Pointless trying to make an informed report after such a short time but thus far.. I'm not disappointed. Oh.. while not being disappointed 'overall', I can report that the nav lights are from the same batch that came with the Chipmouse/Mossie and can be seen from space. Swap em out or don't turn em on

    A lot depends on various factors. The sim you are in, the settings for that sim and your video card are the main ones. We had beta testers reporting from too bright to even not seeing them at all.

    That's interesting. My install is with FSX and I have a new video card, yet the external Nav and Recognition lights are much brighter than my other a/c. I wish I knew what to do to moderate or control their intensity - other than turning them off entirely.

    I guess it's also possible that some of your beta testers had modified fx files too Baz. It's not uncommon for some devs to fiddle with original fx (including fx_2.bmp which the Meteors files call) and pump em out with the same name rather than rename them. I've checked the dates of navredh/navgreh and navwhih and all are original 2006 flavour. My fx_2.bmp was 2007 vintage so I swapped it for an original (2006) file. The difference isn't noticeable with the naked eye on my rig. I can't imagine what files the testers who couldn't see them might have!!

    System differences taken as read, I wonder if anything can be done about these..

    The main gear mudguards are reflecting sunlight even though they're buried under the wings..


    The camera nose glass on the FR gives a particularly 'lit' appearance.. almost silver at some angles and I'd not expect to see as much of the inside of the bay as you can on the model..


    ... and finally, anyone who's looked down the intakes of a Meatbox will know it's as black as a bag down there..

    Well Dave,

    I guess it could have been a black hole but as AH had modelled the interior I suppose they didn't want to hide it.

    A special committee of investigation had been formed.




    When the moment arrived it could only be designated as a place where the sun don't shine no matter how long the committee looked at it.
