Classic British Flight Sim

Answer;

As the aircraft passes over the hill it effectively 'bolloons' over it, presenting a big radar target to any SAM or triple A. Inverting the aircraft stops it ballooning as the nose drops over the hill.

Ah! That makes sense. Every days a school day.

And it looks cool.

You're right about the auto generated buildings. Where there is 3d data (as in some US cities and for some peculiar reason Portsmouth and Southampton in the UK) the sim generates using that. Elsewhere it just does the best it can. Sometimes the buildings can be a bit odd if you know the area! For example there are three story office blocks in the "High Street" of my village which actuallly just has stone cottages....

I've noticed it seems to assume any flat-ish roofed building is a block of flats. So lots of farm out buildings are getting upgraded!

@Rick Piper, any chance you'll be bringing your T2 to the sim?

Hi Dale

Most likely when the sdk becomes more than a few pages of tat that it is currently.

The strangest thing ever is i used an app that adds the json files etc to legacy models and the Lotus sim L39 goes over intact with bumps spec and gloss and even the ice build up works on a model they made in about 2007!.

a few of mine go over but all lack bumps & spec textures.

but hawk doesnt want to go over at all so need sdk and £2000 a year to buy 3ds max and continue with it.
All paused as my New wife now has the beginnings of Dimentia at 56!

Dale you must have Valley and Mona working on MSFS??

Hi Rick,

I've heard the SDK isn't up to much at the moment, hopefully they will sort that out.

I haven't actually tried converting anything yet, what are people using to do so?

I haven't tried any scenery as of yet, I think there is a Coningaby scenery coming along according to the forums at MAIW which looks fantastic.

I did see some pictures of a Hawk cockpit being made by Iris Simulations, I believe (if I'm not mistaken) that they are working on a T2 also.

I'm really sorry to hear about your wife having the beginnings of dementia, 56 is a young age to be starting with that. I'm sure everyone here will wish you guys all the best and I think we can all agree that real world takes priority over our hobby.

Cheers,
Dale

I managed to carve out an hour in the sim and took a trip through the world famous 'Mach Loop' yesterday, it's absolutely fantastic...a million miles better and more immersive than other flightsim's. This I straight out of the box with no mods or addons used. Can't wait for some fast jets aircraft.

As you come out of the Bwlch for your second entry into the Cad,keep the road on your left and look for The Cross Foxes Inn
down in the trees,that's your turning point back onto the A487 for the run back through the Cad and down to Corris.
I asked a "tame" ex-C130 P1 about how they did it,she said map refs and landmarks.
She told me how they come out of the Bwlch and look for the pub on the road junction and pull hard left back to the Cad.
