Hi Joe, Thanks for a quick reply. At least i didn't spend a lot of unnecessary time trying to get it to work on the E: drive. That was the dilemma. i suppose it needed a clean out with lots of unused software. that's my weekend sorted then !!! regards Alan

Hi again Flight simmers, Happy new year to you all. (not been on for a while - long storey) i have a bit of a dilemma, i am not totally screwed but would like some help/advice please. I recently gave up with my last PC as it was on XP albeit very stable (was a big fan of XP - never let me down!). I have invested in a newer tower with Win 7 pro 64bit after looking at the forums on here and deciding against Win8 for FSX. I have installed my old SATA 500 GB hardrive out of my XP machine into my new Win7 machine and it is now my E: drive as a back up facility primarily. But as my FSX i

Great flying, nice footage and Top Gun music as well - loved it! thanks for the link

well done Paul, an inspired shot for a space theme.

whoops! . sorry Joe, misread it and got carried away, as you can probably tell i needed some help and editing via Brett. I am still new to this i consider myself reprimanded and promise not to do it again . regards Alan

Quick Trip to the Moon and back! Last 1 for this month

Thanks Brett, what am i doing wrong. i noticed only the address comes up and not the actual picture. i have posted in the past - MissDemeanor Hunter etc which have always showed up. I notice a copied thing going on now which didn't before. Thanks for the "editing" anyway. It all a learning curve but going back to school is fun when your intereseted in the subject. Hope you liked your"Barn Entry" cheers!

Thought i would try this one ! thanks *Edited by Brett to show pictures

My first attempt at this, inspired by Brett's Barn.(removed due rules) goodnight! *Edited by Brett to show pictures

Hi Gents, Firstly i have tried the SHIFT+E, to open 1st canopy, then let the E go and press 2 whilst still depressing the SHIFT key; as suggested by Jaydor, but this didn't work either on this occasion. I am sure the rear canopy is animated - it says so in the manual . Thanks for the combination anyway. Secondly, the animation hiccup is weird in that it appears to do it only with certain aircraft . But ddavid's theory sounds good to me. ​I may try different aircraft over time to see what happens, i doesn't spoil or hinder any flying - just one of those FSX things i suppose . happy

Has anyone ever seen this before? When taxiing to parking area at the Lysander SO Tangmere scenery i met a "Casualty" with 2 left arms waving at me. How very strange. Out of curiosity i later changed Lysander model and returned to the same location. Now the "Casualty" has just one arm ! I have repeated this three times now and get the same result. Any ideas ? not really a problem but a bit bizarre. Spending a lot of my flying time in the Lizzie now Brett has built me Gibraltar Barn for RAF Tempsford - and have managed to land her a few times without a bounce. I think Joe's review was spot

Over the past two weeks Brett and i have swapped notes,images and references and i can only say what a cracking job Brett has done with limited resources in such a short time. I think i gave him a headache but he has persevered and come up with Gibraltar Barn for me (and others) to use at RAF Tempsford. Below are a couple of images i have saved. http://s1328.photobucket.com/user/alanchamberlain1/media/FSX%20Gibraltar%20Barn/fullmoonfortheLysander_zps9cbd16ec.png.html http://s1328.photobucket.com/user/alanchamberlain1/media/FSX%20Gibraltar%20Barn/GibraltarBarn_zps661bd868.png.html http://

Looked like a great show and museum. Well done Joe on your stand and to everyone involved in making it happen. Looks like this Flight sim is bigger business than i thought. Great pics, wish i could have been there, maybe next time.

Ok Brett thats sounds great. I will leave it with you . No hurry - don't get in to trouble doing it in front of any other chores! thanks again.

Hi Brett, the scenery you see is Ianps dark corner scenery. Its RAF tempsford but that building is not Gibraltar Barn. Its too big,the wrong size/texture and in the wrong place !. It is very good though other than being a barn short. The scenery in the Lysander FSADDON is of Tangmere, i dont think there is any for tempsford as that flight goes from great gransden up the road from tempsford. i had a look at the Instant Object Studio for FSX / FS2004 . It looks very good. i may have a try with the demo. Is that what you would use. Joe's review (and others) seem favourable. Think i maybe ab

whoops, try that. still getting the hang of photo bucket http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/w540/alanchamberlain1/2013-10-17_12-35-3-531_zpsa9937e5d.png

Some screen shots as promised. http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/w540/alanchamberlain1/2013-10-17_12-35-3-531_zpsa9937e5d.png http://i1328.photobucket.com/albums/w540/alanchamberlain1/2013-10-17_12-37-24-296_zps1bf8be23.png

Yes, there are some sad stories around this part of the war but i guess that goes for the whole of the war. a lot of very brave men and women who should NOT be forgotten. i have looked at the default scenery list and think something like the ag-barn pg1 but the roof should only be a single apex, for shape the ag.eurohouse06 is similar. i have sketched myself a scaled drawing to get some approx. measurements. Gable end is 20 feet wide, 12 feet to eaves (roof plate) and 22 feet to top of apex. looking at the front (entrance/opening) the barn is 60 feet long with a 10 foot wide entrance in t

If you are interested i have just finished reading a book on this topic called " we landed by moonlight", by Hugh Verity. ISBN 978-0947 55475-0. Great reading if like WW2 SOE stories. The barn has seen some restoration since those flickr photos. check these out:- http://www.tempsford.20m.com/home.html http://www.nsecontracts.co.uk/projects/conservation/gibraltar-barn,-tempsford-airfield,-bedfordshire http://libertesoe.webs.com/rafspecialdutiessquadrons.htm http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2866552

Hi Brett, had a quick look at some of the buildings on default scenery list but will spend more time later trying to find the closest one. Have a couple of photos of "Gibraltar barn" but not all sides,though i think its the same on all 4 sides anyway. i think i will have a go at recreating the barn with your help - totally unfamiliar. You don't know what you have let yourself in for thanks for offer will get back to you soon Alan.

Hi All, hope this is in the right place - apologies if not. Many months back i read Joe's review on FS ADDONS Lysander special ops, and decided that as WW2 planes are my interest (as you can see by the Mossie), i would purchase this for me to fly on FSX and my Dad to peruse as this brings back many memories for him as a child, flying over his home. A recent visit to Old Warden ( via Tempsford) to see MA-B flying has only got me more interested (Fantastic day out - highly recommended) , so i now have the need for Gibraltar Barn at N52 degs 9.51 mins lat & 0 degs 15.50 mins long.

thanks for that that adrians69, have ordered a back issue for a read up. let you know the outcome, Alan

Thanks for that Joe. Will look the Wilco one up then. Mind you the UKMIL one looks pretty good and a donation to a good cause as well! will plod on ! cheers Alan.

Okay, Okay. Just got directed to a post from Sabre from 2 years back, On the Corsair - didn't look hard enough. Still would like your opinions though Alan

Hi All, Came across some software from "Razbam". It looks very good and as I have mentioned before i grew up on the side of RAF Wittering with Hunters and Harriers. This addon looks very good in the pics so i went to there website and see they have done half a dozen or so aircraft of similar quality. As i like to do my homework before spending my hard earned - i thought i would check out any reviews you guys have done on their software but cant seem to place any. At 40 USD it aint too bad. There are very few reviews about just loads of Pics, am i missing something? Does anyone have any p
