Classic British Flight Sim

Yes, the Skysim Vixen is a lovely bird. The UKMIL paint radically improved its looks, and it gets flogged pretty consistently on my British boats. I get that weird "lights off/very low at low throttle, bright at full throttle" thing, which is a bit annoying. Like I think you said in SOH, c...

Hey lads! These shots are no competition for Mr B's great shots, plus they feature the wrong boat/plane combination, and it's off topic to the original thread ... but ... :hide: since we're talking ship dev projects, hoping someday we'll see an updated R09/ Ark Royal IV ... http://i80.photobucket.co...

My pleasure.

Haven't got the model yet - am availing myself of some other PC Aviator goodies - but will likely get it in a few weeks.

cheers,

Well done, buddy - have a good one.

I'm assuming these lovely Alpha/Virtavia Sea Venom paints never materialised, right?

Thanks,
