deja Vu.... sort of

After fying Rick's T7 I thought I'd given the old AlphaSim single seater a dust off.

Verdict? Not bad, not bad at all

(But like Dave B, I'm a bit of a long term AlphaSim fan, afterall there the only payware boys to bother with my sort of stuff :roll:

Kind regards

You know John.. I spent absolutely yonks looking for my Lightning T's yesterday and stumbled over that model in one of my old 2002 folders. How's it go in 2004??

Remarkably well in fact.

So well that I might do a 'paint' for it

Okey doh.. dust sheets off that one too

I remember talking to Michael at the time (just prior to its release) and he mentioned this particular model was a first for him, though not his first model. Comes with a nice soundset too if I remember correctly

Go on... wheel it out, you know you want to :-)

Oh and if anyone has any reference/images that might help in a repaint I'd be obliged.

First things first... which squadron? Thoughts?

Hi John,

You're right mate.. it does fly pretty well in 2004 doesn't it :dance: Can't find where I put the fx files but had one turn of luck. Thought I'd try it first without loading the gauges and bless my soul.. I had a full cockpit in the sim!! You gotta love Alpha for reusing the old gauges many times as I'd never had the Meatbox on that pc

It has a little too much directional stability I think (drop a wing and it's not that keen on turning) but considering it's age, it does very well indeed. I noticed the other day that it's still on the Alpha 'A' list too

Not sure about a Sqn repaint John but hopefully, someone will come up with something fitting

Just how the devil do you get screenshots like that? Is that FS9 or some other flightsim you're not letting on about? :think:

I have a cray super computer in the loft

No it's just plain old FS9 (non of this new fangled FSX - my machine hates it)

But obviously there's varying degrees of editing, from the 'almost nothing' to the 'might as well have drawn it from scratch'

At the most 15 mins on a shot

Hope that helps

Kind regards

They do look the biz tho' and the Meteor is a great piece of kit to fly
