[cavaricooper]

Nigel- as I said in the FSX Forum- what you started and Ulrich brought us is absolutely bloody FANTASTIC!

Καλή Χρονιά φίλε!

Dimus, I was hoping you'd be here - as you may know, Greece was by far AVRO's largest export customer for the AVRO 621 Tutor (to be released at the end of this week). Eventually Tutors and Sea Tutors were licence built by the Greek National Aircraft Factory (KEA), and served from 1936 - 1940. 4 aircraft escaped to Egypt during the occupation, where they continued in their role as trainer aircraft.

Greek liveries will be included in AVRO 621 Tutor, 626 Prefect, and 646 Sea Tutor aircraft packages.

Καλή Χρονιά και σε σένα Nigel!

Your creation is a gem. Really looking forward to the Greek versions.

621 Main Package

Beaufighter, Blanston 12: Many thanks, Gentlemen - plenty more still to come shortly.

AVRO 621 Tutor main package almost ready for upload.

Nigel
Is the Main Package your equivalent of Ulrich's P3D v4 conversion, or does it contain other 621 variants for FSX only?
Thanks

Scrumptuous screenshots like that make it all worthwhile, Carl - Thank YOU Sir!

Thank YOU, my friend - a few old black and white photos photos of Greek AVROs inspired this Project.

T43:
The Tutor is an advanced and refined cowled development of the 621 trainers. During its era it formed the mainstay of many Air force's training schools.
It forms the core of the AVRO Project.

So far I only have the six FSX portover models and 12 colourful liveries for the AVRO Tutor.

But, as I think you have said, we do live in hope...

Nigel- I remain obliged...

Hope springs eternal, and perhaps one day soon the Tutor will grace us in this lovely sim.... Ulrich are you reading this mein herr?

LOL,
Yup, have just read this, Carl.
I wasn't much home during the weekend,
but the Tutor is in the making and the work is nearly done
( i think ).

If Nigel allow, i will provide my temporary FSX natives models, until his versions are done.

Cheers
Ulrich

btw top notch shots, Carl

Ulrich, I would be most honoured and grateful on behalf of P3D users for your conversions, Sir
Just seeing these AWESOME screenshots is a welcome treat, indeed!

Thank YOU, Ulrich.

 

[cavaricooper]

Wow! I never imagined that would elicit this sort of immediate response- Gross Danke Ulrich!

Sir Nigel has done Sir A. Vernon-Roe proud this year, methinks.

Wanted to add my thanks.
She flies like a dream with looks to match.

Wonderful work.

Detail

One of the delights of flying the Native Tutor is the working undercarriage.
I generally takeoff using a spot view in behind the tail & have noticed that if you feed the throttle in steadily, there is a slight downward dip of the left wing tip as torque kicks in, then it comes back up again. It is subtle, but it is there.
Also, landing on uneven ground - I can see the undercarriage compressing as it takes the load & releasing as the load comes off.
All in all, just a couple of many fine details that have gone into this excellent rendition.

Going Back to Goheen (W52)

As another option for landing, I have used my faithful EZ Dock to map 2 taxying views...

Peering out the left side-

...and the right-

This is GREAT fun peeking out to the left and right, when trying to find a grass strip such as the one at Goheen.... I was here last in my beloved Annuschka. If you peer through the struts now, you can just see the lads shoving off for some fishing. Maybe if I get her tied down and then I can hop in and charm a couple of Bream on to the hook...

This aeroplane has definitely gotten my attention, and once Ulrich is done fiddling with the Tutor, that will make the short list as well. I'm having so much fun side slipping this thing in, that I'm thinking about hooking up the TrackIR again. The last time I used it and enjoyed it was at Biggin in the RealAir Spit... This freeware is fantastic- be sure to explore the added controllability at low speed with the slats (called slots) open!

Best- C

What a gift to the community - thank you so much!

Most impressive to me is the outstanding sound! I put on my earphones and turn the power to the upper level. My lenses drop out but that was it worth

AWESOME screenshots most appreciated, cavaricooper
Pleased you like the automatic slots, too.

Nice to see folks enjoying the finer points of these models
Thanks Twice 43

G-abis

A few shots of G-ABIS taken in Idaho. (A well traveled aircraft)

I was trying to catch the u/c in action during an out-landing.
In shot 4 it has landed fairly heavily on the right wheel & the tire & right side u/c are compressed, then in shot 5 the u/c has pushed the aircraft back up.
