Having given up on the JF BAC 1-11 (Flight Pitch Stability/performance/lighting bugs) and obviously no fixes or updates to again be provided. I had given up on the Dave Maltby's original BAC 1-11 because of it not having an interior model and not updated to FSX Native. A friend on another site prompted me to have another look at the BAC 1-11 again decided the JF version was a mess and not worth pursuing again! Doing searches etc I came across an FSX Native version that was done by Bjoern (somehow I had overlooked this or missed it). Summary Bjoern did a great job converting it all to FSX Native and then updating all the gauges systems etc. End result the internal textures may seem a little dated but they are still not bad but this was without a doubt a very finely done rendition of the...

OK I've had a closer look. I think that the ground plane can be expanded a little without the effects being too obvious. When you expand by 200 or 250 (eg I took the single_2 groundplane out by 250 each dimension) then the changes start to look obvious. As Gecko says, the airfield layout texture and the actual vehicle pathways do not match and other facilities don't sit where planned for in the texture. The advantage of increasing the groundplane by 100 or 150, is that when there are four aircraft sitting on the runway waiting to take off, they do not straggle back onto the nearby paddock, they stay on the area textured as runway. Some runway layouts the autogen trees are further away from the point of landing, which is also a good thing. Nothing worse than returning after a 90...

John, I must have grabbed it just after you uploaded this beauty. You know how to make an old guy very happy.

This sounds pretty plausible, however I haven't noticed as yet. Will need to test more. I should mention that the increase is not very big, going from say 1400 1400 to 1600 1600.

You may want to think about turning around! :biggrin-new:

Thank you, Tom. It is available now on Flightsim.to It was quite fascinating learning about the history of this aircraft, which I have included in the description.

Sent in a couple issues, namely fuel only pulling from the left tank and some minor modeling issues, but otherwise this is a good addon. Sounds great, a lot of fun to fly!

European made Chris

OFF Fre, Screeny, Wormy, Deer Hunter, One Eye, Winco Have great weekend!

Hmm; that might be an issue. Meanwhile, I assume the "empty land" facility is placed at identical coordinates to the airbase?

Yep. JF https://www.justflight.com/product/aeroplane-heaven-de-havilland-canada-dhc1-chipmunk .

The weekend is safe:applause: One of the first - if not the first - addon I ever purchased for flightsim, that is FS2000 and it came in a box on CD, was this: Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and it off course featured the Chipmunk. Ever since that day this aircraft is high on my list. Great to have it back in MSFS quality!!! Alex

Downloading as we speak.

If I'm not mistaken, this will also stretch the airfield layout texture and it won't match the building placement anymore.

... and as Kurt's new Hellcat will need some cannon-fodder, I did a few later war D3A2 as well ...:devilish:

Andrew IIRC Baldy fudged this on the Me323 by tagging engines 5 & 6 as though they were duplicates of engines 3 & 4. The airfile had the thrust position midway between each pair, & the engines were sized to give the total thrust required (from 4 instead of 6). So long as you're just using it as a target, it doesn't really ruin the experience :costumed-smiley-034
