Classic British Flight Sim

Thanks RM! I took the RAF livery on a quick VFR hop from KGSO to KILM and she proved to be a good flier. What I'm looking to do is paint myself a simple bare livery with my usual registration and a small "Operated by Clayton Air" by one of the doors. I prefer to fly that over any real-worl...

That's why I posted here instead of the Outhouse - I figure Jens might be more active here. Thanks for trying though!

Adding autopilot to the Ford Trimotor doesn't work because some of the needed avionics functions are missing. Here's how I got it working in mine... The three gyro sections need to be modified first: [direction_indicators] //1 Type: 0=None, 1=Vacuum Gyro, 2=Electric Gyro, 3=Electro-Mag Slaved Compas...

This one had more imagination!

The only event I can think of that could come close to explaining that would be an above-ground nuclear test. But I thought those were banned before the time period you're talking about. Did the UK ever do anything like that to begin with?
