No idea re the prop textures Steve, but the repaints are certainly on my "must download" list.

That looks the business Steve, I think some 60's RN A.I. will look a treat on the Ark Royal!

Hi Steve
I had a similar props thing when I moved the 170 into FSDS3 and the textures were still named for FSDS2......the reflection is handled differently.
You mentioned enabling reflective, was the model not supporting reflective......perhaps you shouldn't.
One little point is perhap it might be better turning off the lights before traking screen shots as the lights don't fold up with the wings
Nice paint
..pity about the inflatable flying surfaces

Echo your final comment there Garry
Inflatable control surfaces have become his trade mark haven't they and it's a darned shame. I'm not sure exactly what causes it (smoothing groups??) but every single model of his is the same. How much better they'd look done differently. He'd lose the 'Lada' tag and increase his already extensive following to a point where more folk would actually fly the models rather than have them for AI.
Nice to see the Gannet again anyway ;-)

Hi Dave
I think that is smoothing groups..it's one of the easiest yet most effective actions to take in such cases.

What happened to the Gannet that was a work in progress over at (I believe) Sim Outhouse?

Pretty much nothing, as I understand it! It was originally an Aeroplane Heaven project, but Bazzar has admitted that he is unlikely to ever finish it - the external modelling was about 90% complete, but the VC needed a whole heap of work. There was talk over at the Outhouse, a while back, about completing it as a SOH project as they did with the A-26 but I'm not sure anything ever came of it!
I know at least two people who have copies of the source files (
EDIT after DB's post, three people), but whether they have taken it any further I couldn't say. It would be nice to think that we could take it on as a CBFSIM project, but all of our experienced modellers are up to their eyes in work so that's pretty much a non-runner.

Not sure Chris. I believe Jan Visser has one WIP which could be from the same source files (donated as the project wasn't going to get completed). From the shots I remember seeing, it certainly looked the part and on the strength of them.. a-n-other project stopped.
