Nice work nazca_steve. Has it been built in gmax or FSDS?

Thanks, Auster, and it's being done in Gmax. Moving onto the bomb bay this week hopefully.

Hello all,
Quick update on the project, I've made lots of progress since last time, mainly external modelling on the variants and am currently working on the TT.18. I only just learned today that FS9 does not allow scaling animations, which pretty much buggered up my plans to have the cable pay out on the Rushton targets. Still, from the photo ref I've seen, the cable is so thin, it's near-invisible anyway.

ooh...but you might want to put a bit more cable in the winches, iirc they could take up to @ 1.5 miles of the stuff...
and likewise it was normal for only one to be flown at a time, banners were picked up from the runway edge,
being connected up by groundcrew and flown @ 1000 yards behind the tow.

Thanks a lot, gents, it was a bugger mapping those belly stripes I can tell you, involving a fair bit of hair-pulling and some 1am sessions.
Pete, thanks for that inside info on towing; I will duly pay out only one of the targets, but ref the longer cable, if I have it hanging five miles back (as I've read), we'll never see the flipping thing!
I'm taking some artistic liberty on this and leaving her where she is - makes for better screenshots.

Looking good Steve
If you want to model the cables, use short lengths and telescope them out like an aerial. It's a bit of a chore but it works.

Not a bad idea at all, Dave; I went on a 'Eureka moment' walk for that very kind of idea yesterday but no apples were falling from trees. I'll have to see how I get on with that, cheers though.
