Cheers Rob.... :thumbsup:

Bit disappointed with the Bucc from UKmil as this was touted with SP2 compatibility but only had .BMP files....so not a true FSX bird :worried:

Look forward to this with interest.... ;-)

This is being built using the FSX SDK so if all goes well it'll be the 'real deal'. :thumbsup:

Is it me or is the AI23B in the nose a little on the large side in diameter

Sorry Brian, a bit technical for me there! Where do you mean? The base of the 'cone' in idiot terms? :lol:

That cone could just be lighting :think:

In FS, some things that would be in shadow real word, stay in full light :-(

I don't know how much FS.X has improved on that score

This can lead to a problem like this.....the shadow would cut it off near the actual base of the cone and if it did it would look right.

I have that problem with the Britannia where the prop sits on a cone much like that but with a flat top. Texturing is about the only way out of it.

Just a thought :dunno:

Sorry to do this again, but what mark is this supposed to be? :-#

The fin, wing, guns and missiles don't add up to ANY Lightning variant.

I personally think the nose cone looks fine.

Think nose-cone is just deceptive on certain angles as it's (or appears to be?) untextured at the moment. Does look a tad wide or short in length in a couple of piccys - but fine in others! - reckon could be fine when textured! :flying:
But looking very good - Any VC piccys yet!? :dancer:

It's work-in-progress of the F3 variant.
