I am not sure if this has been mentioned but the Virtavia's Lincoln is now available at the flightsimstore.

Will definitely have to check this out. There's a Lincoln at my local airbase (Cosford). I remember the first time I ever stood underneath the open bomb bay and thinking how large it was.

Curious collection, they list the MR.31 as operated by the RAAF (coincidentally as flown by my Father) but it appears to be the original airframe, not definitive 'long nose', so this is one I'll pass for now.
Shame really.

Looking at the pictures on their webpage the MR.31 version has a long nose

Looks like a well made replication of the Lincoln, great to see that many models and textures as part of the package. Quite interesting the way the Brits used the Lincoln for counter insurgency warfare in Africa and the far east...

The correct long nosed MR31 is indeed included Jens, it wasn't on the retailers page.
Thanks for the HU.
Now I will have to purchase it.
Both the RAF and the RAAF carpet bombed areas of jungle during the so called 'Malayan Emergency' resulting (in my Father's words) the creation of tons of 'toothpicks' and a number of dead Elephants, the RAF operated in a similar fashion in Kenya during the the Mau Mau Uprising with similar results, although they claimed some 500+ Mau Mau killed.
The long nose version was not very popular with aircrew, Dad was very pleased to transit onto Neptunes, as visibility 'over the nose' of the MR.31 was little or none!
Australian built Lincolns were aluminum doped overall, resulting in a uniform 'silver' finish.

anyone tried it in Prepar3d I've asked Virtavia but they haven't tested it in anything other than FSX?
I just got it and I really like it :-) All over good detail level and a nice selection of models (Only miss a big belly radar model with the top turret..). Thanks to Virtavia (I was about to say alphasim..) for bringing this lost bomber into FSX.
Tempted to make a repaint for one of the Lincoln which flew with the "Radar Recce Flight" in the early 50s on missions towards Soviet. It must have been rather scary to fly the slow Lincoln and knowing you were facing Mig-15's...

Based on the photos above you might make it back home on only one engine. As long as those Mig cannons didn't blow a whole wing off. As wide as these wings were you might still make it home. And of course there were friendly ports along the way.
Lincoln B.II SX991 of the Radar Recce Flight, 1951. This aircraft conducted several very sensitive flights in the early 50's around the borders of Soviet and Warsaw pack countries to take radar pictures of scenery features for attack planning for the V-Force.
Compared to the virtavia paintkit many stencils and other decals have been added.

That is the problem with the Mig-15... the 37mm cannon had a nasty habit of blowing bombers out of the sky.. Actually one Lincoln was sadly shot down by Soviet Migs when flying into Berlin even if it was in one of the flight corridors. The story has it that one of the Migs even strafed the 2 RAF aircrews which managed to bail out and killed them.

Here's a good story from a Lincoln pilot that served with the RAAF and who flew the long-nosed Lincoln: http://www.radschool.org.au/magazines/Vol40/Page7.htm
Intel i9-13900 Raptor Lake , Be Quiet! Dark rock slim cooler, 32 Gb Corsair DDR5 RAM, MSI Z790 Tomahawk motherboard, Asus RTX 4060Ti 16Gb, Thermaltake 1050 Watt PSU, Windows 11 64-bit 1 m2, 4 SSD, 2 HDD.
I like your updates Jens-Ole. It's all in the details.
Could Virtavia please have a look at the H2S radome on model Virtavia Lincoln 2 ( the RF555 aircraft ). Compared to the radomes on the other models, it is very crude and low poly - maybe it got overlooked as the models were refined. It is particularly noticeable when viewed from head on. The other models' radomes are fine.
Also, can Virtavia please look at the pitch trim wheel in the VC - it rotates in the wrong direction when applying nose-up or nose-down trim.
Thank you.
Paul K,
Please open a support ticket so Phil can be made aware of your concerns.
