Excellent help from all.

WF372 was tail letter A when I flew in it at Stradishall. They stuck two of us in the bomb aimers pit for the 6+ hours it took to get up to the north of Scotland and back in a loop round the North Sea on a Nav exercise. Kept us out of the way I guess but at 15 it was like your own personal Alton Towers! :welldone:

Hi Russ..

Just realised I missed a thumbnail for the Swedish Air Force 'Elint' paint..

Just right click on the picture, save as (it's already called thumbnail.jpg) then drop it into the TP82 texture folder ;)

Graham,

Could you possibly post them over at the pond please? That way we can all get them. :thumbsup:

Thanks,

Nev

Uploaded to the Pond.

Please bear in mind (senior moment) I cannot remember which came with the aircraft and which were additions, let alone author, and have only uploaded them in good faith.

Any objections to this, please let me know and I will pull them.

Off for a dram now,


Graham

I'm pretty sure I did the non stock ones Graham mentioned. Unfortunately after Avsim was hacked and a hd crash I've lost them. May have them on disk somewhere so will have a look.

Best wishes

Cheers Nige (and Graham) ;)

If you still have them Nige, we can host them in our library here too :)

Ok got all the thumbnails in place the other day (eg the individual aircraft folders). I can now select Vickers in the aircraft selection and the thumbnail appears eg for the Brooklands version. I can select this but what always turns up on the runway is 369. This aircraft also appears if I make no selection from the Vickers folder but just click OK.

The 2d view I havn't sorted. I get diembodied wings and engines and the view all round but no fuselage, cockpit or instruments. It responds to the controls as expected. 3d view is fine and works well.

Are these just issues resulting from using it on FSX or has anybody suggestions for a fix.

Meanwhile its a great sim and I'll be quite content with it as it is if nothing can be done.

Spent yesterday beneath the floor of the Brookland's V but still can't find the source of the main leaks! :wall:

Hi Russ,

If you can give me a few hours I'll package it up for FSX for you so it should just drop straight in ;)

Hi Russ :hello:

I was admiring your cleaning work at Brooklands today. Boy.. is the RH side dirty or what! :-O What I also noticed is the top of our tailplanes. If Google Earth retake the shot, our tailplanes will be invisible :lol:

Right mate.. I don't know what's happening with the old girl on your FSX setup. All I did to get it to work on mine is simply dragged and dropped it into FSX. It defaults with no panel.. FSX expects a 2D so.. when the aircraft loads, either press key A or right click on the mouse and select cockpit from the drop down menu. Your 2D panel should appear :)

As for the reg/select aircraft/thumbnails.. I'll double check I listed the thumbnails correctly (one I may have cocked up on is the RAE paint 678 which is actually 679.. finger probs) but I covered that by adding rae to the description. Anyway.. I'll check that now. I don't have any of the odd ones Graham posted over at the Pond so I can't speak for those ;)

The disembodied 2D view is actually a VC view by the sounds of it

A partial VC as you describe is used to give wing views and if the Varsity has wing views it is the VC you are selecting not the 2D *-)
