Wow! I know nothing about that plane except I want it. Amazing work. Just proves there is still some great life left in the old FS9 girl. Looking forward to flying this bird.

These reflections look REAL, as does the rest of the model. The panel work is simply stunning, Nigel. Very Impressive!!

Certainly is, Robin - designed from the outset as a workhorse in both FS9 and FSX, my friend.
(I regularly fly both sims - wouldn't be without either!)
We're finally getting there, Huub.
Your warm encouragement is very much appreciated, Sir.
Thank you!

LOL!
All present and accounted for, Tom
Handful held back in reserve just for minor VC changes I'll be making today to facilitate smooth starting and operation of the Wright J-5 engine (albeit license-built).
Tap, tap, tap...
That's very nice of you to say so, SPman - Thank you

We're all in this together, Robin - doing a pretty good job of keeping things lively yourself, sir!
The REAL thanks, always goes out to you good folk, my friend - the way I like to see things is the BEST is yet to come!
Are you referring to the Gauntlet you once mentioned?

running and seeking cover) Cheers,

Pretty quiet?....
Well that's the way it could be seen from here, but I've just spent 4 days making VC changes to the Polish bird, and getting an endorsement from the ENGINE shop to make things satisfactorily...
NOISY?
You bet!
The noise endorsement for the Wright J-5 Whirlwind just came through and m'lugs are a ringin'!!!))
We now have 3 soundsets specific to the 3 engine variants of the 621;
1.) Armstrong Siddeley Lynx IV
2.) Armstrong Siddeley Mongoose
3.) Wright J-5 Whirlwind
Now if only I could get that pesky fuel gauge to work!!!

LOLOL!!!
The Gauntlet is confirmed!
But I must finish the three projects - Bounty Launch textures, Scenery, and AVRO's before I start anything NEW.

running to find your hideout!!!!! )))
Love the way it's turning out Nigel. Work like this makes an aeroplane that I normally wouldn't give a second look, something that will have a it's own spot in the hanger.
Not much progress on my project. Too much real life getting in the way. But even it's just a minutes of work on it, I try to get something done daily. So little has gotten done that of the two originally planned, it's now down to the one seater with the two seater placed behind the back burner for "someday". At least a lot of what I've done for it, can be applied to the one that's still slowly simmering on the front.
When you live on a farm and spring comes early, the winter projects come to a screeching halt.

It has been a while, so I guess it is about time for me to ask whether there is any progress to report on the Tutor.
Cheers,
Huub
Hang on, Huub - let me just roll back the hangar doors for a sneek peek.
