Gmax Short Mayo Composite S.21 Flying Boat and S.20 Seaplane

Post by DPS »

This has been in the pipeline since last year and hopefully it will be out in time for the 70th Anniversary this autumn.

Here's a movie of the work so far:

I used the original reg at the start of the movie. For the current day I used G-ISLA and G-EDEN and named the aircraft FIFE and ANGUS.

G-EDEN was a SOCATA TB series light aeroplane......

We are about reality here...especially in this section

Must admit I didn't check to see if G-EDEN had already been allocated. Of course neither of these machines still exist: the S.20 was 're-cycled' and the S.21 was written-off following bombing at Poole harbour (I think).

G- ISLA was an Islander

What does it matter if G-EDEN or G-ISLA had been used.the names are wrong as well

These two were G-ADHJ and G-ADHK Mercury and Mayo.....end of.

It sounds as though your reputation is based on being overly obsessed with minutia.

Let’s remember that Flight Simulator is a ‘game’ enjoyed by tens of thousands of people.

The fact that the administrators of this forum have allowed the above comment to be displayed for a day now would appear to indicate that they condone unnecessary product bashing .... end of.
