Silberpfeil

"He who turns around and lands at base will live to fly to some other place".

Thank you for the improvements on both of these models, Stephen1918. As several of the multi-engine models that I normally fly or fly against don't currently have the benefit of your "new and improved" gunner, how difficult would it be to retrofit these? Is this a simple "copy and paste" of the data.ini's GUNNER_STATION and FLEXIBLE_GUN modules or are the required line/parameter changes more complicated and extensive?

Great stuff, Stephen1918 - congratulations on this fine model and the observer/rifleman animation!

And invariably he will tell you: Every take-off is optional. Every landing is mandatory.

Notwithstanding all of the above - good work, Stephen1918! Your many and varied improvements to the series are appreciated!

It could be a lot worse than having Markie Post as your defense attorney...

They've tried - the Zuni Maritime Foundation had been active in money-raising throughout Hampton Roads and up and down the East Coast, but they only had a handful of volunteers for daily maintenance. At one point there was a brief contract to allow local law enforcement agencies to stage practice boardings and securement details, but the insurance requirements were too great for that revenue stream to continue. I'd been aboard her several times when she was docked in Norfolk a few years back, and in my estimation she just had too many mechanical systems difficulties and access issues for tourists to make that avenue work successfully. In the end, the calculations were made that it just would never be cost-effective to save her. The hull damage sustained during 2012 was really the final blow, but she still held on for a couple more years during which time she was stripped of memorabilia and paraphernalia that has now been moved to other museum ships. It's been a sad end to a ship with a remarkable history...

Well, then, Geezer will simply have to model out a static Jaguar SS100 for use by those superb RAF personnel!

That would seem to be appropriate. Here is "Pips" Priller with his BMW 328-55 Sport Cabriolet just a few years later...
