Classic British Flight Sim

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 ...

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...

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...

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.

Thanks for your reply DaveG. I would prefer the switch to be on the VC panel.

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...
