They'll complain Dave has used the wrong sort of glue! :hide:

Looks lovely Dave, shame I'm sticking with FS9 - almost tempted though!

Looks great Dave. :welldone:

Are you doing the glass nose only or will the solid nose version be available too?

I have always preferred the fighter/ground attack version over the bomber.

I suppose they would be glue gripers then. ;)

Thanks for the comments chaps :)

Just to avoid any confusion, it will be only be for FSX. :OB: It will also be VC only, no 2D panel, but probably with some pop-ups for radios etc (not sorted yet).

Inital release will be B.MkIV & PR.MkIV with other bomber varaints to follow at some point.

FB.MkVI will follow the bombers, although there is quite a bit of work involved in the change.

I hope to cover most major variants.

No timescale for any of this. I know it's been a looong time coming but I hope it's worth the wait.

Hi,

Please excuse me for flogging a dead horse and being ignorant, but does "FSX only" apply to both visual model and flight dynamics so the visual model couldn't be mated to FS9 flight dynamics and flown in FS9 ? *-)

Correct, FSX allows much more complex visual models than FS9 so they're not backwards compatible. Flight dynamics might be backwards compatible if none of the new FSX entries were used.
