Classic British Flight Sim

It's interesting to read comments regarding my project which has not been without it's problems but then that goes for most projects hey? Research material has been rather thin on the ground for this one but thanks to various favours being pulled in I've managed to get accurate information in the ma...

I must admit it is a bit of a rare one this old bird but despite the sparse information around I've got it fairly accurate. Though I hadn't any pictures of the cockpit layout I've created a usable one. What I did have though was various photos of the Apollo interior which proved useful during modell...

Hi Garry, many thanks for posting the pic for me. re your query Only the prototype G-AIYN was ever fitted with a mixture of 3 and 4 bladed props The second prototype flew a few years later by which time all that kind of testing was complete therefore the 2nd prototype only ever flew with 4 bladed pr...

Hydromatic Constant speed fully feathering airscrews 2: The purpose of being able to fe...

Just as an added note regarding Nigels comments re Autopilot etc. As stated in the documentation that comes with my Marathons, Authenticity was the name of the game as far as possible and according to my research the Autopilot was literally an on off affair with no special modes. Throttles etc were ...

Hi to all, got back from SA this morning after my rather exhausting 19 hr flights, however I've not been online while in Cape Town. The Magneto issue I was aware of but found that sometimes they worked ok other times they did not, this was obviously due to fiddling with the aircraft.cfg as Nigel kin...
