Classic British Flight Sim

I got the urge to bolt on the floats again to "Little Bandit" and while I was about it, I finished the full instrument and turbo conversion. Here is a picture sequence of how the panel looks and the aeroplane behaves in a very short demonstration flight:-

The full demo sequence with panel shots showing the modifications can be seen by clicking this address:-

Very good as usual Peter. Many thanks for sharing.

Those beacons on the fin are rather expensive ...Seriously though, the floats make the aeroplane feel a bit different and I'm not yet familiar enough with it to fly very low

right
you know you get a wee bit more lift from them upright.
at least I feel it in the Maule and Piper (from the piper project)

inverted ........they're a Reeeeal drag
if the pun my be excused.

I'm using the Maule sound to get the nice water rushing sounds...Slight snag is that the water sound burbles on quietly when I'm stationary...I'm going to look seriously at it to see if I can stop that and also put my nice turbo engine noise back in but keep the water sound...Peculiar work!

Well, I've fixed that problem now and few other small ones, so my "Bolt on Floats for Little Bandit" project is finished...Just put seven "Freighting Locations" in Tongass Fjords and I'm enjoying trying them out in real weather...Can be rather challenging at this time of year :think:

Indeed, as I found out to my cost! I was 10 minutes late on one of my assignments as I tried to devise my own illegal approach through the bad weather without ending up as a smoking hole
The area file Im using for FSCargo has the cabins listed and some of those lakes are very tricky to get into when the weather closes in
