Steve's Gannets

[Filonian]

Not to mention the big bulge underneath

I have just looked closer to those shots, and they have been added to wrong model! It is indeed the AEW model, didn't spot it at first, the rear cockpits are blanked out.

Ooooooooops.

In a situation like this I usually plead insanity :think:

Although another reason could be that i was initially looking at "a pair" of aircraft and humming "thanks for the mammaries


However, enough of this frivolity,


Moved out of the shadow, at rest at Driffield.



You can tell they are British aircraft, because they have formed an orderly queue.

Beautiful shots everyone, thanks for showing 'em off (and clearing up the AEW.3 issue I KNEW I didn't paint for that model!!!! ). NO sign of XG831 in these shots though - I thought I put that one up at the Pond too? I still can't mod traffic like you lot - Graham's been trying to help me out with Wyton, but I just cannot get anything to show up - think I'll have to stick to repainting and let others do the real simming!

Steve, the Gannet needed a little mod to the original .cfg file to get it to appear as AI, I think you just delete the rems, but I am not sure. I tried several thinks at once and they all came up :roll:

[Filonian]

I must have been in such a rush to get them flying I missed XG831 :doho:

But, here we are,


at rest


start up

Damn, I knew there was something I'd forgotten to do! Sorry Steve, I'll have a go at putting something together this evening, been pretty busy here at work for the past few weeks.

Picking up on DB's comment about flying characteristics (!!), did Kevin ever release his updated dynamics for the Gannet AS models? I have the AEW from way back (and several other Itos that he kindly amended), but don't ever recall seeing the other ones.

Lovely, Graham, just lovely. Superb shots. On a more dismal note (and Andy will read with interest too), I still cannot get your modded RAF Wyton working. I've tried everything, but just cannot see a d**n thing either parked or on the runways. I've given up with it for now as I must be doing something drastically wrong. I did bump up the traffic slider to 70% so that it was WAY over the 10% Graham has in the Wyton traffic plan, just to make sure they show up, but nothing.

Anyway, if you feel like having a stab Andy, be my guest, but you may need to write idiot-proof instructions for me STUPID .
The speed with which Graham added those Gannets as AI astounds me, and I am starting to think of the subject as black magic now

Oh well, back to the repaint hangar!

Steve - I don't have time right now, but I will have another go in the morning and send you the whole biz via USendit.

Off to Mess night now.

Steve, check your PM

Just checked it, and saw the link - fingers crossed I can get this sucker to work now. You'll know because I'll plaster six million high-res screenshots all over this thread. Severely joking there, but I will show some proof (wow I am being optimistic here!)

[Techy111]

Just a little question.....Wheres the Wyton scenery located?
