Classic British Flight Sim

Hi Ben, and thanks for the explanations. I think having a look at the SDK is a sterling idea. I was reluctant to switch to FSX, but as I said in my OP, it gives more options with the sound for AI traffic, which, in my case, is desirable, not to mention other addons I'm testing that are tooled only ...

Just a couple of quikkies re the effect files on Daves 1-11's (and others)

I do realise that these aircraft are meant to be flown! but as I am a perfectionist, my AI aircraft have to look good as well, which they do :flying:

So on to my questions, if I may.

Yes, great memory! I was there standing on the B pier along with thousands of other "Gobsmacked" onlookers, when the first BOAC 747 landed at Manchester. Its a sight I never forget!

Hehe, thanks Toby, just received them, am having a look now!
Cheers Chris

Thanks, a couple of those photos tell me how it was, looks like hangers etc. I notice that one of those pics with BY73 in the foreground must have been after 1972/3 as BY had newer colours and it must have been "divvy" day 3 ...

Is that before the sat on pier "c" was built. Used to go there thought the 70's and I think I've got the book mentioned.(got my bike nicked from there aswell :sad: ) Still got a photo off a Laker DC10 and A300 parked on the remote stand where the Fairy hangar was, the day the airline went bust ...

I am doing EGCC circa 1970, but am struggling to get any pictures of it in those days. I should know the airfield inside out as a young spotter, lol, but I am jiggered if I can remember what the other side of the B-Line pier looked like. (To the immediate left of it, as you looked out from the main ...

Yes, the "Nandi" referred to is infact NFFN Nadi. Incidently, when migrating to Oz in Nov '71 we flew VH-EAE 707 (City of Brisbane) London-Bermuda-Nassau-Mexico-Accapulco-Tahiti-Fiji-Sydney-Melb-Perth..that was a real milk run, lol

Edited to add not sure of the exact order if these destinations as ...

I voted yes, as currently I am using detailed flight models for 80% of my 1970/73 flightsim world in FS2002, which is my dedicated retro sim. Naturally, this looks superb, but get more than 5 aircraft in the shot at once (even ones in the distance) and frame rates get down to the 10fps mark.

I also ...
