Classic British Flight Sim

Not exactly a sceenshot, but I've got some of the Vickers Vanguard Alternate Prop Textures I'll be uploading this weekend.
Check out the following link; I hope you can view the thread and screenshots without any problems.

I'll repost here after I upload the prop textures, so you know where to find them.

Hi Tommy

I was a bit concerned about the "rounded tip" comment - dont think I ever saw a Vanguard with rounded tips - maybe hes thinking of its lesser
American cousin - the Grinder ;-)

Leif

Tks Leif

I just uploaded them and posted and found em fullsize. Fortunately, your post was below mine so I've binned mine!

No.. no Vanguards with rounded tips for me either mate!

Thanks guys

No rounded tips on Vanguards only slight rounded corners on a square tip.

I am puzzeled about the animation on the ground comment :think:

Garry

Frankly without knocking Tommieboys work - Im a bit baffled - I dont really see any difference to the props from the version residing in my hangar.

By the way Dave - sometimes it helps to have rapid access to the Happyotters photo repository

Hi guys.....

The pointed tip remark was in regards to the prop texture itself and not the actual prop shape. When I go full throttle, I can see the default prop texture has a pointed tip. It just looked a bit odd to me. Maybe I downloaded an old version of the Vanguard? I downloaded it straight from Rick's website along with the FS2004 patch. I'm using an updated panel though.

The prop animation / 2D panel remarks was in regards to starting the engines from an exterior view. On my computer, if I start the engines from an exterior view, the prop rotation animation (when the engine is up to speed) is very very slow; if I cycle through to the 2D panel first, the prop rotation animation is much much faster. Might be a gauge conflict on my computer?

Best thing would be to try the new textures (when avsim posts the file) and give me some feedback.

Tommy

HI Tommy

I have never seen the props behave in the way you describe so quite what the problem is I can't say.

The first two pics look to me as they have always looked

You mention the default textures but the Vanguard does not use default (meaning MS) prop textures.

I can't download from Avsim.had this yesterday as well

Everytime I try to download it fails but the download counter goes up by one..
