Hi, There's a freeware package depicting the 617 squadrons dam buster training missions available over at Simviation: http://simviation.com/1/browse-Vintage-66-0 . I was wondering if anyone had seen it, and tried it ? Regards, Ian

I downloaded it. There's obviously a HUGE amount of work gone into it, but I can't quite get my head around it. Would be cool too if it could be made to work with the FCS Lanc.

I downloaded it too. I can see what they're trying to do, but it looks overly complex to me. And 617 didn't have GPS ! Still, worth getting for the dams scenery, the repaints, and the AI models perhaps. And personally I think they did well by using the PD Lancaster. Ed Walters' model is still to my mind the most accurate FS Lancaster (try taxiing the FCS Lanc on engines alone :)), even if the textures do look a little dated now.
