Aaaaand after getting my PC back here some screenies of the resumed work, later, in game pics ,)

After some time with my computer down... Mirage 4000 Demonstrator prototype

Training flight in the Super Skyhawk:

Beautifuuuuul! Mandatory pic, Phantom SEAD...

I have uploaded a new plane - the Siemens-Schuckert D.I. It was a copy of the Nieuport 17, with a different engine and a few other minor differences. Production was delayed so it wasn't used very much on the Western Front. It saw more service on the Eastern Front. My upload includes a 3 color camo skin, a full set of number decals, and a fully functional cockpit. My skinning templates are included. Ojcar has made a new FM for this plane, it flies a little heavier than the Nieuport, but has a slightly more powerful engine. I have also included a sound file recorded by Nixou.

Does anyone know, are there any more such videos about Soviet hunters with similar music?

Mikoyan MiG-29AP - Aggressor Flight, Parani Air Force, 2007

The Flying Fortress

This morning, checked out the FM adjustments to the Nieuport range of aircraft WIPs. VonS, and especially Crawford, have slowly ground their way through the hodge-podge of old files to develop new ones to match the new 3D models. The aircraft now destruct fairly realistically, given the limited effort I make when developing new 3D models. They do outstanding work. Also tweaked the artwork for the Vickers guns - they were a bit too darkish. As shown in the Sopwith Triplane shot, most machine guns are various shades of dark gray, not black. Shots of Br14 show the revisions to the Vickers artwork. For you camo buffs, the Br14 is finished in the Michelin factory pattern - there were several others as each contractor had their own interpretation of French government guidelines.

I came across this video on YouTube and given the prevalence of people who are both Star Wars fans and flight sim geeks on CA, cough!Wrench!cough, I thought I would share it.

ok, that was seriously COOL!!!

It's amazing what a little TLC can do. Don't remember where I got this but it needed a new paint job. 4 hours worth of work and PRESTO!!! Something worth flying.

It's a beast to fly.......But using BIG stand-off weapons, it's lethal

The Caudron R11 skins are nearing completion. Next, make the cockpit. Also working on a Nieuport 24bis.

Progress shot of the Breguet XIV with camo skins.

This morning, I started work on the camo skins for the Breguet XIV.

Mike Dora suggested the R.11's resolute looking gunners exemplify the French slogan at Verdun: "they shall not pass."

Gterl and I are working on some file exchanges, which prompted me to dust off some old mountain ground objects and resume work.
