mutley 4,489 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hi Shrews, That is a fantastic set of shots and video, the screenshot type video is very popular today, nice to see some action too. I know there are quite a few people here who will enjoy this, especially Dai. PS, to post a YouTube vid just paste the URL straight into the forum, it will take care or it (So no need for tags :001_th_smiles89: ) Link to post Share on other sites
PanzerFodder 0 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Nice video, always like looking at these big four engine birds, I was surprised by how much visibility there was from the cockpit shots, I always thought that you could not see hardly anything in one these things, now I want a Lanc as well Cheer’s…Graham… Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Superb shots - just gotta love a Lanc! Link to post Share on other sites
pacinka 0 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Wow, fantastic shots and video! I really enjoyed looking at them. This actually reminded me of something I discovered a while ago - off topic, but interesting. There is an aviation museum about two hours from where I live (Toronto, Canada), and if you have a membership with them, you can actually pay for flights in some vintage WW II aircraft. And, believe it or not, they will actually give you a one hour flight in a Lancaster for $2500, or 1600 pounds! But if you don't want to empty your wallet, you can take a ride in a Beech 18 or DC-3 for just $60 (or 38 pounds). Graham, I know you might like this, since you also live in Toronto. Here's the link: http://www.warplane....8&CategoryId=76 And the homepage of the museum: http://www.warplane.com/index.html Link to post Share on other sites

Also thanks for the link, very interesting as it's about 1 1/2 hours from my place and did not know about it before!, have just mentioned going there to the "Mrs" and she more or less agreed :wootmesalia: don't know how she will find it, as she has no interest at all when it comes to aircraft, and has already told me that there is no way on earth that I am going for a ride in the Lancaster at $2500. per hour "LOL" Cheer's and thanks again...Graham...

ddavid 149 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Can't beat the old girls, can you?!? Such a pity there are so few left, but they did the job and that's over, I guess... Thanks for sharing, Shrews! Funnily enough, I was looking for a sound system in Currys the other day, when I came across a pile of FCS Lanc boxes all marked at £4.95! Now that's a bargain, eh?

Haha! Well, you could always just go to the museum, and look at the Lanc from the outside for a measly $10 (or whatever the admission is). It really is a great museum. As for the member map, I have thought about putting my pin on it, but I'm one of those people who don't like to put too much of their personal information in the "cloud", so I'm skeptical about it. I suppose I could put on my general location of Toronto, though, rather than my exact address. Link to post Share on other sites

Mustang 0 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Now that's a REAL aeroplane! Great shots :icon_thumbup: Is it the First Class Simulations Lancaster? It looks great, though I heard the 3D model isn't quite accurate somehow. I can't tell from the screenies in any case (if it even is that model), but I'm not a 'rivet counter' anyway. Enjoy it! I have the Plane Design Lanc for FS9 which was great for its time. I'll no doubt pick up another one at some point. Maybe A2A will Accu-Sim one for us - now that would be an add-on to die for :wootmesalia: Link to post Share on other sites
