Mark,

Your detail work on these models is spectacular! I love the little Easter eggs on the model! :wiggle:
 
Ha Ha well spotted Rami!

Rav,
Unfortunately lights like this do not work in CFS2, so no, which is a great shame, as it looks and works so well in Fs9..:(

There is a way of 'displaying' a semi-transparent texture triangle, to represent a light spread, but the look is very poor, and of course it doesn't actually illuminate anything........


UT,
I know..LOL :)

Cheers

Shessi..

..BEAUTIFUL work!:applause: I have only one question though. Is the bubble observer drinking a Earl Grey or Twinnings, and is it brewed or steeped?:very_drunk:
 
Ha ha..well spotted F!! :applause:

I thought I'd add something very English..a good 'ol cup of char. In reality they used to boil tea up on a small primus/petrol stove, as there wasn't enough electrical capacity to drive the Leigh light AND the galley. The tea would more than steep, it would stew for hours, along with a can or two of condensed milk..that would put hairs on your chest!

Also if you didn't notice I've also done an animated (another prop) wind generator on the wing.

Thanks for the comments gents, glad you like them.

I'm in the middle of doing a civilian fire/water bomber for Fs9, does anybody want it for CFS2?

Cheers

GREAT looking aircraft!

Unfortunately, I think the BPF relied upon USN Catalina to spot and either pickup or call in a sub for downed pilots.
Sure would have liked putting that baby with BPF roundels in my missions.
