Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"

Rick, Like the colour screenshot very much - see you have all of the antennae except the nose & tail S band. Must admit that the nose one was taken off when we put a baby 2.4GHz spike just aft of the nosecone to transmit the TV pictures. When the B&W camera was installed it sat in the landin...

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"

Rick, I have quite a few photos in my library - what sort of shots do you need, & what info. Give me a PM of your e-mail address - I can then send with minimum compression possibly. Most are photos (film type) then digitised (scanned I suspect) & put onto a CD. I also have some digital photo...

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"

Jon, Thanks for that, but with Leifs proviso I think that I will stick with converting my FMS Meteor. BTW any one play with FMS?

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"

Unfortunately for me they are in FSDS format & to convert one apparently needs FSDS to convert to DXF, then Gmax will by all accounts accept DXF! So I am still at square 1 - well almost - I do have the majority of a U16 that I did for FMS, from which I think I can DXF it.

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"

Degsy, Now if one could marry your artwork with Just Flights British Airports...... I must say it brings back memories, but I have no Office!!!! BTW If you look at the satellite view of Llanbedr on Google maps you will see that there are unconventional markings on the main runway - 5 lateral stripes...

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"

Not too sure about creating a tow wire that changes shape as it deploys - it certainly ain't out straight behind as with a Flag type drogue which has a lot of drag associated with it - it also changes with speed....... we also spent a lot of time & flight trials trying to find out why some tows ...

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"

Hi, The Jindiviks were looked after very carefully so the polished paint was the norm. Such was the care of the groundcrew that they took it as a personal insult when an RAF pilot took one out !! You can read a lot about Llanbedr and the Jindiviks in the book "Target Rolling" by Midland B...

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"

Thanks Rick, I have no different .xml for the FSX gauges, so if you download my Beta version ( don't know if Leif has uploaded it yet though!) it will be the same. Its part of the AGS#6.xml file, whilst most string texts show correctly there are some, like the CL, CR, Des, App, ASL & HL, as well...

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"

:cpu: Phew! Got here at last!!! Jindvik - yes I was with her since 1986, but looking at some of the above comments it would appear that I will have to publish another tome with the ones already in the Beta pack! I am not aware that any UK drones were controlled from the accompnying aircraft. Firefly...
