Gunnar18 0 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 November 12 1944 - 29 Lancasters of Nos 9 and 617 Squadrons were attacking the German Battleship «Tirpitz» in the fjords close to Tromsoe. Each Lancaster carried a 12,000lb 'Tallboy' bomb. Several attempts to sink the battleship had been done and this time it was a success Shots from nearby Tromsø. In that area it would have been quite dark all day at November the 12th. Link to post Share on other sites

It now allows conversion of the .frc files into 'normal text' so that you can make the formations in notepad after flying and recording just a single flight.... more info here.... I'm currently trying it with the A2A Lancaster, RealAir Spitfire Pr.XIX and a MkIIc Hurricane to create a BBMF trio for this months 'Best Of British' screenshot contest.

Hi Simi, I am looking forward to this shot, if you want the extreme Spitfire experience, get the A2A Accusim version (Perhaps the Valentine fairy will oblige? !!) truly awesome.

simi_av8r 0 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Believe it or not Mut, I'm still on the venerable FS9....and until the Birthday/Valentines fairy decides i can have a new 'puta, i'll be running FS9 on my 10.1" netbook with the well below-par GMA graphics chip courtesy of Intel! So although i'd really, really, REALLY like to have a flit about in A2A's Accusim Spit', it'll be a long time coming i think! Donations towards my new pc will be most welcome...i even have a 'Just Giving' page set up for the charity cause too.....details on request. Link to post Share on other sites
needles 1,013 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Great shots Si'. #5 VC is fantastic. I really like the reflections on the windscreens. Very realistic. Thanks for sharing them. Regards Needles Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnar18 0 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Thanks all, and special thanks for the FSR info simi_av8r :biggrin: I will try that for sure... The Lancasters were widely used during raids over Norway. Several missions were flown over Bergen. The target was the German submarine bunker at Laksevåg (code name «Bruno») The RAF never succeeded in destroying the bunker, and suffered heavy losses. In the mountain side, just a few hundred meters from my home, debris from a Lancaster is still to be found. The 207 Squadron RAF LM271 EM-L exploded short after being hit by ground fire, and parts of the aircraft were spread over the mountain side. (Today, the bunker is still in use).
