Classic British Flight Sim

Hi,

Flying the Alphasim EE Lightning F6 this afternoon,





Somewhere over the North Sea 1968.

Cheers,

Roger.

Nice one Roger. How many times that must have happened in real life during the Cold War

Did here a story of a pair of Lightnings sitting on a Bear, one calls the other and says "Gonna need fuel soon" and a thick Russian accent breaks through on the frequency and gives them the Lat/Long of the Victor

Hi Chaps,

I remember a photo taken of the rear gunner in one of these Bear's holding up a copy of the Playboy magazine at the window during the cold war.

Russia had some great aircraft but this Tu-95 was my favorite.

Cheers,

Roger.

Whats the Alphasim Lightning like to fly im thinking of getting it.

Hi thomasburnside,

I have not been asked before of my opinion of a sim aircraft so i can only say

i find no problems and IMHO a great model seeing it was released back in 2005.

Just a reminder that its for FS9,

Cheers,

Roger.

There used to be 2 different packs Tom if I remember right. Pack 1 contained the single seaters and pack 2, the twins. Not bad models when they came out and still do the job now

Thanks guys I think Virtavia might be releasing it as freeware I cant find it at the moment.

Try this Tom.. http://www.virtavia.com/Freeware/index.php . Not sure what's on there but it's now the only active link I can find.

EDIT: The Lightning on there is the FS02 model. I wouldn't bother with that if I were you.

Funnily enough, I was looking for their F-4 yesterday, and that's all I could find. Bit more digging, I found all the F-4 packs available for download at Simviation.

Found textures for the Lightning there too but not the model.
