Nope............I don't have any sort of computer atm I can work on.

I am using a borrowed notebook to use the forums.

Hopefully the laptop......my only option due to health reasons..... will be up and running within the next week.

If there is any news it will be posted here :)

Hi Glenn :)

I recently had the laptop back and although I've not got everything working properly yet I have enough

The CL-44D4 went into beta a week ago

Jens hasn't done a CL-44 and Frasers panel has not been released so I guess you are meaning Britannia there??

Yep.. Was just over to UK for a holiday, and spent some time at Duxford admiring the Britannia [Monarch].. What a great looking aircraft..

A quick update :worried:

I was able to get this back on the go a few weeks ago thanks to Ben sorting out the laptop. :Dance:

The CL-44D4 is the leader and is awaiting some clever stuff that's beyond my single brain cell capacity.

That will move soon once I get to speak to certain people...a psychiatrist might be a good start. :worried:

The four base models are sort of done....externally at least

The CL-44D4 is in beta, the CL-44J has been brought up to the level of the D4.

With the other two, the CL-44-O needs new wing root fairings and some internal textures and other textures for it's special parts. The CL-44-6 has been made, all new...replacing the previous early shown model which at that time was a temp textured modified Britannia. The CL-44 has virtually nothing in common with the Britannia. This just needs the engine textures updated to bring that up to the stage of the D4.
