Classic British Flight Sim

Very nice shots, Kimber. I think the 748 is essential for anyone's FS aircraft collection.

Thanks Dano! I shall go have a look.

Nice shot, Motormouse.

I've reflown some of my Air Training Corps Chipmunk flights using Rick's model, including one over a pre-IWM Duxford and a map reading exercise from RAF Coltishall. It's another of those 'essential' planes for the collection.

Thanks a lot, Rick. I'm not unfamiliar with this 3D modelling business: I used Abacus' Aircraft Factory a few years ago to build a B-29, which wasn't bad given the limit on parts and assemblies you could have in any one model. Now with these tutorials available, and a certain aircraft in my collecti...
