Classic British Flight Sim

Not sure if we can consider it classic yet, but Paul Hannity is working on a new version of the 146 with a VC

Lets see, first produced more than 20 years ago,
pretty good production numbers
and its now out of production.

In my book that makes it a classic.

Looks quite good! Thanks for the heads up! :dance:

Does anybody know how Jon Murchison is getting on with his revamped/rebuilt 146 series?

Looks nice. No tail 'bump skid' though and not as good as DM's would be :whistle:

God loves a trier John... I think the only chance will be if we can get DM into the cockpit of one in the air... might build his enthusiasim.

I'll chip in

Is this that model thats been around for a few years but never yet released? Looks familiar :think:

I did post some shots of 146 cockpits some while ago for a French modeller who was making one (also since vanished into obscurity). I have some excellent colour renderings of the Avro RJ EFIS cockpit but thats not quite the right for for this variant.

If anyone's in touch with teh designer, I might be able to dig out some useful material.

EFIS? EFIS? What on earth is EFIS? :huf:

Reminds me of a Not the Nine O'Clock News sketch, probably before Toby's time, about a court case to do with theft. The barrister played by Griff Rhys Jones lists to the judge, played by Rowan Atkinson,the articles in question; a digital watch:

"A digital watch m'Lord"

"A digital watch! a digital watch, what on earth is a digital watch?!

" It's en electronic timepiece which displays the time numerically m'Lord"

"A Video Tape Recorder, m'Lord"

"A Video Tape Recorder? What on earth is a Video Tape Recorder?"

" It's a household device which let's one record television programmes m'Lord"

"One deluxe model inflatable woman, m'Lord, whatever that is?"

" The deluxe model is the one with the real hair."

Dare I say it? The model doesn't look right :-$ The front edge of the wing is faaaar to angular and the nose is way off... the window cut looks a tad suspect too. I must say though, that the VC does look superb!
