FSX Gone!
For two years I have been bumbling about using the Gold edition of FSX. I use McAfee and CCleaner to keep my machine in order. FSX was installed on my 'D' Drive together with an awful lot of addon scenery including MAIW airfields and traffic. Monday a.m. first thing clean up our computers using the ...

Bombing with the FCS Lancaster
Now I have modified the above aircraft so that the GPS can be used we must now explore the possibilities of "bombing" with the aircraft. I see that Ross Mclennan and others have modified another Canadian Lancaster which can drop bombs. Has any forum member tried to or succeeded in adding a...

Re: FCS Lancaster GPS switch required
I don't have TacPac at present and this is probably not a good day to buy it. Let's see how the value of a GBP fares over the next couple of weeks. The FCS Lancaster does not appear to have a bomb aimer's view - how do you manage the bombsight? Please see another topic: 'Bombing with the FCS Lancast...

Re: FCS Lancaster GPS switch required
I thought I saw somewhere an addon pack of WW2 weapons for TacPac. Pity about the 'mod one mod all' system.

Re: FCS Lancaster GPS switch required
This evening I flew a cross country at 6,000ft, crew only, no bombload, from RAF Hemswell to RAF Valley via the low flying area in the Lake District. Weather was provided by Active Sky Next and was not altogether to my liking - my arrival at RAF Valley (note not a landing) was a bit dicey in a 24kt ...

Re: FCS Lancaster GPS switch required
"It's a piece of cake" is an old saying and a good cake is highly dependent on having a good recipe. I successfully fitted the switch to the 2d panel using DaveG's line for Gauge number 18 but I could not manage to make the switch control my GPS unit and take control of the Lancaster. The ...

Re: FCS Lancaster GPS switch required
DaveG: Thanks very much. Looking forward to hearing from you. If the VC panel cannot have the GPS/Nav switch added and the 2D can accept that switch I'll go for the latter.

Re: FCS Lancaster GPS switch required
Thanks for your reply DaveG. I would prefer the switch to be on the VC panel.

FCS Lancaster GPS switch required
I have returned to modifying and flying the First Class simulations Lancaster. Using much of my collection of Lancaster research material I have spent the last couple of days modifying the aircraft cfg file, mostly correcting the dimensions and areas to as near real life as is possible. The aircraft...
