DSB Buccaneer (Ex payware RAF Fighter Pack) 1.0

But they were not 'theirs' to lose. Hopefully most were saved by their creators.

I hope so too but I'm afraid that many of those creators are no longer around. Some have left the hobby and some have gone west.

a slight digression: @zswobbie1 mentioned his involvement with the SAAF Museum, Ysterplaat Avro Shackleton - and here is another neat find: as real as it gets Buccaneer Flight Simulator, at the SAAF Museum, Port Elizabeth: https://saafmuseum.org.za/articles/exhibitions/2463-2/

cheers!

If you fancy an alternative 2D panel, i can heartily recommend this one from Avsim---

Yes, absolutely Ian! I discovered this not long after uploading it. Im tempted to repackage it with that one instead

 

[Mick]

I like this plane enough to install it even though I never find time to do any flying. But someday I will...

I noticed that the package included a very long list of animations - for the Phantom that was part of the original release. The Buc apparently also has numerous animations. Is there a list of them and how to operate them? If so can we get a copy?

I’ll have to look

Mick, inside the rar there should be a word doc called "UK Fighters Special Features"

But in case you have trouble locating it. This is the list of animations and what they tied to..

"
Buccaneer S.2B

Shift + T – Raise/Lower Tailhook
Shift + F - Fold Wings
Shift + E - Open Canopy
Shift + W - Open/Close Bomb bay (Extend/Retract Refuelling Hose in Refueller model)

Please ensure that the following key combinations are applied to your control assignments within Flightsim.

Fold Wings - Shift + F
Extend/Retract Water Rudder - Shift + W
Raise/Lower Tailhook – Shift + T"

Thanks Alex!

I saw that animations list but didn't look at it hard enough. It started with the Phantom that was the other half of the original double release and I failed to notice that the Buc's anis followed below.
