Tristarcaptain 282 Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Some updated pictures of the progress being made on Just Flight's Avro Vulcan. It is certainly looking good. https://www.justflight.com/product/avro-vulcan-b-mk2 Martin Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 That is a fine looking aircraft. If they make it TacPac enabled it would be interesting to see how it handles a tactical nuclear weapon. RAF slang for a tactical nuclear bomb was 'a little bucket of sunshine'. Rather apt but really dark at the same time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

CAT3508 337 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 As far as I am aware, nearly all RAF bombing raids were carried out at night, particularly ,Lancaster squadrons, unlike the following quote from the Aeroplaneheaven's statement. "It did these things, unfailingly throughout the RAF Bomber Command daylight bombing offensive from 1942 right through to the end of the war. " Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Yeah, they kind of got that wrong, didn't they? I think the RAF tried some daylight bombing early in the war and had unacceptable loss rates. I do think they may have done some daylight bombing with lighter types, Mossies, etc, throughout the war but I suspect those were more tactical than strategic.

mutley 4,487 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 We have to remember this is Airplane Heaven, they very rarely get things right! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Tristarcaptain 282 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I guess that the important thing is that they got the flight sim itself right. By what I see, it looks nice. It had better be better than the Flight 1 version, as I have already sold my copy of that!! Martin Link to post Share on other sites
Tristarcaptain 282 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Just spotted a forthcoming Caravelle on the Just Flight website. I remember seeing those at Heathrow in a day a LONG time ago when they actually encouraged plane spotting!! Now...where is that HS Trident that I am wanting.... https://www.justflight.com/product/sud-aviation-caravelle-iii Martin 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Daylight raids had an average loss rate of over 10% by the middle of 1941 - small formations were no match for the Luftwaffe (an experience the USAAF found at the start of their bombing offensive). Post D-Day there was quite a bit of daylight raids by the heavies as well - tactical at first then moving on to strategic. General description may be wrong but it looks good!

Tristarcaptain 282 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) A couple of interesting items of news that may have slipped under the radar for some... Razbam have released a TacPack version of the A-7 D/E Corsair II. While is available to purchase, it is still being refined. (Yes, I have it!!) Aerosoft have added the Lightning F.53 to their F.6 package. It even includes the rare desert camouflage version, which is very nice. I bought mine from FSPilot Shop and as my account for the Lightning was still valid, when I downloaded it again, the F.53 was included. Yey!!

wain 879 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) XP11 NEWS...... TERRAMAXX out tomorrow...Saturday 17th March....distributed via Xaviation this will give seasonal textures for the whole world in XP, it can be set to Auto or forced to produce winter, screenies over there were quite good.... Downside is that all 3rd party airports have to be changed slightly but apparently it's not difficult to do and this will allow snow etc in their scenery, also currently it won't work with photo scenery, e.g. ortho4xp. Also ships with Autumn style trees and 2 levels of detail textures depending on your PC Specs.... No price listed yet, but if I have time I will post over the weekend.....

Tristarcaptain 282 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 So was I...LOL! I think that's the only film of The Dambusters at the moment. Goodness knows when the promised remake will happen!! I wish that Aeroplane Heaven had a Dambusters plane with their forthcoming release......I guess that we can't have everything!!
