A Historic simulation of a Bombay flight, 194

Hi Nik,
That's a very good start. With texturing in the sims, IMHO 'less is more', step back and take a look yourself, and be honest.

What do you think a well used, but a dry, desert based ac, would weather like?

Google the Bombay and look at images, what's the overall look or effect of desert flying on ac? I know there would be rain and mud at times, but generally speaking......

Also would the RAF allow their ac to get too dirty or stained??!! :salute:

Look at other sim ac with exhaust staining, would your Bombay have whiter staining in it or possibly sooty black?

Just a few thoughts, but post some more pics so we can see.

Cheers Shessi
 
The right side to me looks like the engine on this particular flight had a major failure. The left is closer to what might be general soot deposits.
However, aren't the exhausts located on the bottom of the engines in this case ??? So the majority of deposits would be on the bottom of the wing. The top then would just have the usual spots and splatches from the small leaks many round engines have.

Cheers

I actually retract the bit of the exhausts being underwing after looking at a number of better images on the web. My bad.

Cheers

I am working on the repaint of the Bombay.
Many photos show oil stains and grime on the wings, both unders and overs, going back from the engines.

I have also made a splashscreen for my fs9, see attached image please.
