Peter - I managed to make an FS-x compatible (changed the alpha channel) tyre.bmp texture that means the Prentice doesn't hover over the ground. There are also FS-X problems in the cockpit with a transparent texture in the bottom left hand of the panel (around the battery, lights, landing light, generator switch and the icon set above them) but I can't see how to fix this. If you had any thoughts on that it would be great. Thanks in anticipation!

Atlantique

As VR259 is the Atlantique one, I am assuming the model I have is from them as opposed to the Beta one.

As long as I am no treading on toes, I could zip it up - minus Perter's paints as he has done them.


ps these shots are P3D V3

Just wondering how easy it would be to convert to FSX native if permission could be obtained. *-)

I was training as an airframe mech at RAF Kirkham in early 1957. We had been instructed on how to marshal aircraft, and the time had come to put it into practice. They were using a Prentice, and before he fired it up the Sergeant instructor told us where we should manoeuvre the aircraft. He also said that he would follow our instructions accurately, even if he knew they were wrong.

Did some of us go wrong? You bet! One lad panicked when the aircraft headed for a hangar, and if another lad hadn't taken the bats away from him and crossed them over his head, who knows what the sergeant might have done.

Only Prentice I ever came across in the RAF, but I've never forgotten it.
