E.E Lightning

Ian, thanks for finding this! It looks like Aeroplane Heaven followed up on an old promise? This day gets better and better: I just downloaded the Flying Stations Buccaneer which I have been waiting for a long time and now this heads up :jump::jump::jump:
 
Most all of the type had this appeal , strange i can recall my first view of the Lightning , Avonhead primary school , would have to be standard 1 ... not a photo but an artist drawing/painting ... with the collection i have today , i wish i had that very book on my self.
 
from the site looks F6 only but i do hope theres more, i for some reason like the later mark's expecially the twin seaters...
 
We are building just the F6 for now, unless the boys say otherwise. The point to remember here is the time. A single model version of a subject is easier to deal with all round from models and textures to flight dynamics, sounds and beta testing. Any dev will tell you that "just a few tweaks" is never it. On Lightnings, for example, ventral tanks, armament and avionics changed considerably, things like ailerons were different shapes and designs and cockpits were quite different. Just by adding another variant could add another month, maybe more to the dev time before it gets anywhere near a beta tester. An F2 with rocket packs would be a major build, especially if you wanted the packs removable and displayed.

So, it's the F6 for us. It's the one that is operated by the LPG and up until recently , the ThunderCity group and went on to have the longest career with the RAF.
 
Dang it, Barry, you MUST deffinately have dwarfs working for you while you sleep ! :santahat:

Hi Jan,

Yes, I have found that feeding them helps a bit...

The DC6B is in beta test and having an extra model added in the shape of the C-118 so it's nearly there but a few things to dust up and finish all the livery list as ordered.:engel016:
 
I have just put in my request to beta test this, one of my all time favourite aircraft, having passed up the DC6 (and other 'hush, hush' projects!) as they are not my area of expertise.....for want of a better term!!
