Hi BR1970 and rgr that
M$ Paint?? :shock: :shock: :shock: :-$
Surely you must have something a tad more advanced than that :think:
I normally fly lower than what the VC9 actually flew due to the routes I use and FSNav (eg.. I CBA to keep changing the alt info!) and the bottom line is that at my norm of FL150, depending on weight, I either see 258kts or.. with around 4000kg or less of fuel onboard (pax at 12T).. as high as 260kts (KIAS) It doesn't seem it but the Vanguard is Scarebus A320 sized. She's a big piece of metal but those Tynes did (eventually) pull her along at a very respectable speed

one thing I have noticed with RP turboprops. (not that it is in anyway his fault) is that when you load a saved flight, I have to pause it imedieatly so I can make sure I won't fall out of the sky or something else about as bad. I how fsX improves its flight saves, I would put fs as one of the bad Payway programs in that list in the payware forum. the freeware I can get from guys like you make it worth the investment.....

I seem to remember a fault in the start coding which only renders itself if you don't follow the checklist. Make sure ALL Start Fuel Levers are at start before attempting to start the first engine (3). Don't move the Start Fuel Levers to off individually after each start; after 3, 4 and 1 are running move their respective start levers to off, then once no2 is running move its start lever to off and all engines will light.
New panel isn't too far away, but don't hold your breath

I was told that it was the largest aircraft in the World with fully manual controls :roll:Garry Russell wrote:As you say DB it was Scarebus sized
The Vanguard was it used the Viscounts enormous windows making the whole aircraft look smaller than it really was.
The props were 14 foot Six inches.
Truly a magnificent beast.

A true vickers a/c, they even felt powerfull at ground idle,
Garry, you're right, 14'6" with a 16" cord, 5600 shaft horse, the most powerfull tubo prop that R/Royce ever built.
One more fact that made it special, the fuselage was longer than the wing span, so a tight turn on the ramp could loose you ten feet of tail end, I managed to avoid finding out how true that was!

Hi Robbie
The Vanguard was one of those magical types.
We didn't get many, but when they came over folks stopped and looked.
The deep powerful sound and the graceful sedateness of the aircraft as it banked away always set the pulse racing.
Landings also were spectacular as they flew over with thick streamers coming off the flaps.
It had a sort of aura about it that is difficult to describe.
