I can guarantee it was tested thoroughly.....several times

Wow Thunderbird 2, always wanted the toy as a kid, but alas never got it.

Hi Pete

Yes to the Strikemaster question.

I let the guys beta test it recently but it's at the same stage as the JP T5
so not worth releasing until i rebuild the JP to my latest level.
the JP was a good model 2 years ago but is not very accurate fuselage shape wise so it warrants a good remake which should be relitively straightforward as it flies ok and i have a panel etc.

same for the Chipmunk although this needs nowhere near as much work
mainly texturing of the inside of the canopy frames & the wing Aero profile rebuilding & all new control surfaces and the flightmodel adjusting
as it climbs too easy and won't spin properly.

I have lots of models in progress but JP & Chippy will be a certainty
but when is the bit i have no idea of.

Regards
Rick

Hi Callum

FSX will i think allow a much higher ceiling so stuff like T3 might be worth doing.

wonder if we can have a stationary T5 waiting up there too.

I'm game for Thunderbirds models.
who's making Tracey Island then ?

Regards
Rick

I read somewhere the other day that someone went up to 200000 feet in FS.X and someone else went into orbit.

Didn't T1 go into space on one episode to rescue in lieu of T3?

No idea, but I think the guy in the space station must be the family black sheep, as they always put him in space. Any way that's kind of off topic (stop it Jetty). So is orbit modelled in the new sim? Wouldn't mind a T3 ride.

Wow, lunar passenger travel is now possible! You see, you phase out old aircraft without actually seeing what they can do. Another hit for British Aviation!

With interplanetary transport possible some of us can go visit the in laws
