Classic British Flight Sim

Hi Guy's

This is something I've been meaning to put together for ages but haven't because not all the ship models are available and some of those that are are a bit wanting. I put all that aside today and threw this little lot together..

TG317.8












The ships in shot are representative of the main battle and amphibious groups.. Ascension is in the background. To this group.. if were possible.. I could add 2 x Castle ships, Endurance (although Endurance was already on station) 6 x submarines, 3 x survey ships, 8 RFA's and numerous landing and logistic ships. Frightening to think what we'd be able to throw together if the same thing happened now

FSX
ASN (Live) - though this threw a critical error at startup and shutdown!
Sea/clouds - REX E+OD+Soft Clouds (the sea looks poo doesn't it!)
Virtavia Sea King
Ships - DG, GP, Flying Stations, Mike Hudson and others..

That's a very nice job Dave...Very impressive

Very nice Dave. I may have a small prezzie for you in a couple of days.

I typed a fair sized response to both replies then when I hit SUBMIT.. the forum dropped

Needless to say, my second attempt will be a simple.. thank you both

Great shots Dave

I think I'll have to dig out Gary's 'Vince ...

Nice to see QE2 bobbing along for the ride

Indeed mate. I've had that model for ages but not seen it for a long time. It's a little heavy on FR's but doesn't cause too many problems. I'd still love a Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary. Maybe Henrik will take these on one day. While he's at it, Oriana and all the other P&O fleet need doing too

Dave, I'm starting to think you have as many add-on ships as you do aircraft.

Great pictures, by the way. I was looking for our contribution, the tanker M.V. Eburna, but I think she was kept out of harm's way with what they called the garage fleet.

By the way, is that H.R.H's Sea King ?

I actually have a LOT more ships than aircraft Fortunately, their size is such that I don't need a new HD yet. If they were aircraft sized.. I'd have sunk a long time ago

I dunno about the helo.. it's the default RN/Marines model with fixed gear. Did he fly that sort?? I honestly don't know If that was him.. I wonder if he knew he was doing a mail run?
