BN2 Islander

I don't suppose there are Thames Valley or Cheshire Police BNIs in the pack, are there?

"We don't need a helicopter. The Islander flies so darner slowly we get one for a third the price anyway!" ;)
 
Im on the fence thinkin of buying. Now if they have the HMCA Islander in there, it will be a buy for me no matter how long i have to wait.
 
I,ve asked this long time ago on alphasim site needless to it say didn,t make very popular,..again .,,Why even posting this preview shots when the release it,s not planned for months or years to come ? " I don,t see their point, teasing like that and than getting all sensitive about people asking about their slow progress. Surprise us with a good model when it,s ready,or very close to release date....Do you guys even remember they had a Jaguar in works for how many years now ??? You could probably make a real size one out of glued matches in that time frame.

I agree. So let's all stop talking about this mythical add-on and move on. The more we build it up, the more disappointing it will inevitably be when it comes out next month or next year. We haven't even seen VC shots yet.
Let's forget about it and maybe we will all have a nice surprise one day :ernae:
 
Dang.. I was just thinking about that plane this morning.

Its in good hands. With a team like Dan, it will be released at the right time and it will be great.

The Catalina took a while to finish. It was well worth it. I am sure the Islander will be too.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I don't believe Dan is working on it anymore. I am pretty sure he doesn't have anything to do with it now.
 
We've been around this loop at least five times now on various threads... Dan remained with the project. Until when, I don't know, but he has stated several times that he is still involved.

I just can wait for this bird it was like November or October last year she appeared on the alphasim website with a coming soon logo, and no it hasn't been soon!!! as we all know..ive just got there albatross and while yes its external model is excellent as always from alpha I found the vc a bit flat if you know what i mean, it looked like fs2004 textures to me and poor ones at that I can only hope alpha deliver the BN2 and sepecat jaguar soon and at qaulity I now expect as an acceleration user. I'm getting worried about that company!!! There still one of the best tho!!!
 
Please do tell and share the HMCA paint location.:jump:By the way were is the freeware model by chance?

I made the repaint at the request of a member over at the CBFS forum a long time ago. I emailed the model builder (Marcel Kuhnt) at the time asking for permission to upload it but never got a reply and so in the end I just emailed the repaint to the person who requested it and left it at that (I also made him a repaint of the Headcorn Parachute Club scheme).

I just checked my HD and it looks like I deleted the AC from my hangar but I do still have the intact paint kit and I am pretty sure I have the finished repaint files on a back-up disc here somewhere. I will have to have a search around and see if I can dig it out and then I will upload the repaints here.

NOTE: You will need the BN-2A base pack plus the additional 'rest' file and sound files.
 
its like asking a piece of a puzzle what the big picture looks like...how the F would he know :ernae:
...so you saw some screenies and heard a rumor - congratulations to you.

let the artists art and the developers develope and have a coke and a smile when the plane is released
 
who's paying them for there coke and smiles ehh the tooth fairy?
were not sitting here wondering we want aircraft now baby thats what we pay for!!!
 
For those who are interested (i.e. 'Gera' and 'Trans') I just uploaded both the HMCG and the Headcorn Parachute Club schemes for the freeware FS2004 version here at SOH. They should be available within 24 hours once the Admins clear them.

Well, certainly not us. One nice thing about not having a package out is that we haven't paid a penny for it - hence the advice from pretty much everyone for people to stop complaining that it isn't out yet and either chat, or fly something else in the meantime!

I have funds right now. I'm just trying to decide between the RAS Duke, the Alpha Albatross, the Alpha FSX Texan/Harvards and the Dodsim B206 for what to get... Or something else entirely... Decisions... Decisions... :isadizzy::pop4:
