I should this so Garry,.. the Ghost would sound much more scary than the Avon..... .... .. or is it much scarier...

someone help me out with that .....Dave B?

Funny you should say that Joe but it does.

The Ghost has a mournful whine especially on lower settings and I've often wondered if that was a coincidence or the reason it was so named.

I'm sure there will be someone here who knows

Jens,

I noticed a texture issue - I am using the FS2004 version, and the Canadian Pacific model has a French registration number on the underside of the port wing.

Otherwise, thanks for the update, I'm thoroughly enjoying flying your Comet 1! Being Canadian, I favour the RCAF and Canadian Pacific liveries.

Regards,

Jim

Must be a French Canadian

Yeah, thanks, Jens - I got the two soundsets now - both good (one for the 1 and another for the 2).

I gave the new 1 a test flight last night, flying by the guide in the kneeboard.

I took off under the recommended conditions, but iirc I have to wait until it reaches 180kias before retracting the flaps. Well, whatever speed it is, I was about 20 knots short of it. I kept flying level and the rpm at the specified level, think it was 9,750, but the speed just didn't increase - it was well wierd!

In the end I retracted the flaps at 160 - but even then it took a while for the speed to go up.

I found myself wondering if that was why it got ditched!

A mistake, of course. Just wait for version 3...
