A very sexy model, thank you so much. I remember thinking from an early age that the yellow rescue colour scheme really suited the aircraft.

Thanks, now the holiday makers on Tenby beach will be safe with me in the air.

It has been great fun testing (and nit-picking :redface: ) on this old lady for some time. She really is a worthy model of a much needed addition to FS aircraft, well done Brian!
PS....Where is that crewman figure I asked for!

Great job Brian et al. Typically I was without PC for most of the weekend (dead monitor) but, needless to say, downloading this beauty was my first priority once the new monitor was up and running!

Now, lets see if I can pull the same manoeuvres that the Wessex pilot at the RIAT did?!! :think:

Thanks, Brian. I subsequently found that you need to be above 200 ft with speed at least 40 knots for the AP to engaage.

Hi Graham, thats certainly cured the mip map prob, theres still a touch of the "noise" I mentioned. I have enlarged a portion of your sky to show what I mean. Its possible that this is only something to do with teh way your screenshots were saved, but I think more likely something graphics card/FS related as I used to get something very similar with my old NVidia GeForce 2Ti in FS2002. :think:

What g/card are you using and what colour settings?

Hi Toby,

Radeon 9600 Series & colur set on Highest (32bit)

Ok, do you have Anti aliasing enabled in FS9 or perhaps on your graphics card properties (in Windows)?

Off in Flight Simulator and Temporal anti aliasing @ 6x in ATI Control Centre.

Brian, you are probably aware of this, but if not, it's interesting to note that your Wessex has generated a very enthusiastic response over at the Sim-Outhouse - a group that generally does not get very excited about rotorcraft. Seems you have captured EVERYONE's attention.

A tribute to just how fine this release is. Congratulations again.

Yes I've seen the threads. Of course I'm pleased and it's very nice to get guys playing with aircraft of any sort. Thanks for the heads-up.
