It's good to see that the TSR2 and the HS125 are still officially 'on the drawing board' as well.

Kind regards

Rest assured any suggestions to improve the models will be taken on board :roll: (sorry) but with FSX it allows me to add far much more to a single BGL and a whole lot more detail. As stated all 3 profiles of her career have been modelled.

Well it's good to see that the project never 'sank without trace' pardon the pun. So are you saying it will only be FSX?

Whatever it's in (FS9/FSX), it'll be a wonderful peice of work!

Kind regards

Initially for FSX but if enough demand FS9. Bear in mind though that FS9 is fast becomming obsolete and like it or not we all will have to move on at some stage. Who still runs Windows 95? Could use a good DOS based system just to load up the old games like EF2000 and TAW.

PushinPolys,

Will it be static scenery in FSX or moving? If the later have you found out how to get more than one working catapult on an FSX ship as I still haven't managed it on the Ark.

That is what we may need to discuss as I have not tried the attachpoint stuff for the cats etc yet (or got them working but I have read somewhere that you may need to edit the X File by hand as of a bug in FSDS that tags them as 1.1 and 1.2 etc instead of 1, 2, 3

Hi Mark..

I'd say that 3 models can be considered having ones cake and eating it!! Excellent

As a point of reference re the whips.. the whips in my era were AWN(RX) and AWF(TX). I don't have figures for the AWF except for the fact they were 35ft long. They should be the rear whips ;-) The AWN receive whips were 30ft long and were built in sections going from 2.5in at the bottom to 1in at the top. The TX aerials were slightly beefier but not by a great deal. We tried not to stand too close to these as the warning on the deck said it all.. Do not remain in the area bounded for more than 2mins in any 20!! :o Firing blanks would be the obvious outcome

Dave,

Would that 2.5in be radius or diameter for the aerials?

Post by **DaveB** » 23 Aug 2008, 15:03

Hiya Skip..

That would be 2.5" outside diameter at the base tapering to 1" diameter at the top (for the AWN receive AE)

I get a feeling the TX ae's were/are slightly thicker but I've nothing to prove or disprove that either way I'm afraid :roll:
