Cracking stuff.
I wonder how often Peter overflew me in the 70s and 80s on Trident flights into and out of Edinburgh? This gives me material for a screenie session!

Very often Jim...And even more often in the 60s and 70s on the Vanguards :flying:forthbridge wrote:I wonder how often Peter overflew me in the 70s and 80s on Trident flights into and out of Edinburgh? This gives me material for a screenie session!

I'll need to look into a classic AI package for EGPH. I quite fancy sitting in the car park at Ingliston and watching a few Tridents and 1-11s throttling up
I shudder to think what the framerates would be like tho

Re: 208 Squadron around Edinburgh...
Shouldn't be too bad if you use DM's batch file converter to reduce his models for AI use, Jim. As you know, I'm running a lot of 1975-80 retro AI at Manchester so I expect a lot of the aircraft are the same. It runs very smoothly.forthbridge wrote:I'll need to look into a classic AI package for EGPH. I quite fancy sitting in the car park at Ingliston and watching a few Tridents and 1-11s throttling up

I never went to EGPH - what else flew in during the 70s and 80s? I might have some of them on my hard drive and may be able to put a package together for you if you tell me what you want to see.

Re: 208 Squadron around Edinburgh...
Hi Ian..
(I'm using EGPH Extreme) - thanks for the offer, although TBH, apart from Dublin and Amsterdam, Edinburgh was purely a domestic airport, with the exception of Charters and summer specials - so apart from seeing Concorde - and curiously an Aer Lingus 747 a few times, it was all (or seemed to be) 1-11s and Tridents - I''ve seen a few oddities (Short Belfast, L10-11, DC10) - VC10s were a little more common.
Not sure what the regional flights entailed, prop-wise, I'm afraid. I well remember seeing the classic 737s and the odd larger aircraft, but it literally appeared to be Tridents or 1-11s every time you looked up. By the time it started getting a little busier in the mid 80s, and the 146 came along with some larger A/C on domestics, other things got in the way of my aerial spotting!

Re: 208 Squadron around Edinburgh...
Jim - not sure if you really want some retro AI at Edinburgh or whether it was just idle fantasising! If you do, let me know because I've picked up a lot of experience (from Peter!) in putting together my packages for Kai Tak, DM's '75 MAN and Bermuda. I've got a lot of the aircraft and liveries already. So I could quite easily put a package together for you with the aircraft you'd like to see and I could pop it all on to disk for you.
Let me know if you're interested and I'll tell you more. This is a shot of my Manchester on a Friday morning when the long-range diversions come in due to fog at LHR!
Ian ;-)

HI Ian
Idle fantasy for the time being ;-) - I'd like to actually have a little tinker with AI myself at some point, but I'll know where to come when I inevitably get it wrong!
Cheers !
