simi_av8r 0 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 With the recent release of Aircraft Construction Group's IWM Duxford scenery, i thought I'd check out a few of their other sceneries...and boy am i glad i got this beauty of a download! RAF Marham, Norfolk is home to the RAFs southern Tornado contingent, and plays host to the Tornados of 9(B) and 31Sqn. So what better A/C to take a trundle around this Main Operating Base than an Tornado, the freeware GR4 from IRIS to be exact, and in this case a IX Sqn GR4, ZA552. Close up of our Tonka for this ride. Safely parked up outside of it's HAS, #47. The Detailing on the HAS and surrounding area is exquisite! Taxiing past more HAS and a fully-functional refuelling truck and some Ground Servicing Equipment (GSE) A parked up military ambulance and the main IX Sqn building. Leaving no stone unturned, even the pill boxes and chain link fence are modelled....watch the speed, there's an RAF Police officer & his dog on patrol an accurately modelled control tower, and i'm pretty sure i know who's car that is on the end! ACG have even modelled the recently built ISO park and armament store, even including the RUBB hangar and underground fuel store even things as minor as the sand-filled plastic barriers are there...should i be excited about that?!? coming around past the 2 Sqn HAS area. ok, now this i am excited about... fully functional emergency traps, as placed in real life. Activated by the NAV1 control. rotating from the runway, the main base area in the background climbing out and over the ASP, more RUBB hangars correctly placed. the IX Sqn HAS area from above...excellent detailing and placement of the Squadron buildings and an overview of the fantastic attention to detailing and building placement, so much so that i can name each and every building from here, including the "Singlies" living area towards the top center/right If you haven't got this absolutely amazing freeware add-on yet, why on earth not!?! Head on over to ACG and get yourself a copy now. Oh, and the (now freeware) IRIS Tornado super-pack is sublime also - although i'm sure you'll have it already, if not it's available from here Link to post Share on other sites

simi_av8r 0 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 i'm currently downloading a few more of ACGs works, screenshots will, i'm sure, follow soon! Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I have Waddington 1980's with Vulcans, the Twin Bases, Duxford and Marham, I think! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 That's a superb overview of this scenery Simi, who couldn't like it after this show?! Is it all 2004? Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 That's a superb overview of this scenery Simi, who couldn't like it after this show?! Is it all 2004? all my screenshots are from FS9, if that's what you mean yes.... Although there is a full install guide for FSX, including an FSX install guide for the (optional) MAIW AI GR4s @ Marham originally created for FS9. Sadly, my current PC was made back in 2001 (Ed. - no, really, he means it!) and has a lowly AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (single core, 2.23GHz) and Radeon 9600Pro 512Mb graphics installed in it, so FSX wouldn't even run at basic settings...hence my signature below - donate now and save my sanity!
