Hi everyone,

Here's where I'm at on the Edgley Optica, Not to much to complete just a few bits to texture here and there.

P.s.

The Heinkel He-51 is still being worked on...... :wiggle:
 
Always liked this plane and the concept behind. Too bad it was scarred by a sad accident.

Thank you for doing this. It would be great for observation of nice scenery.
 
What can i say.I'm a sucker for odd birds.. Ive seen a lot of pics of this plane and others that i would never have dreamed anyone wouldmake for fsx. Thanks Graig.. Looking forward to flying it..

Cool, I remember Hampshire Police air support using one Serial G-BMPF many moons ago, out of HMS Deadalus at Lee-on-Solent before getting their Islander.
 
Beautiful work as always Craig. This is one of those birds, that you stand back and wonder. . . .what were they thinking? lol

How frustrating must that be... to seat in a copter that cannot even takeoff vertically... :icon_lol:
Fantastic exterior model, as always.
This ambiant occlusion effect integrated in these textures is really neat. :ernae:
 
So, this morning i woke up from something in my dreams. The house was cold and i was wet from sweat from head to toe.. I blame it on the pizza last night.. So anyway, i get up and get on the computer and open soh up and theres a message waiting for me.. Dear Pam, would you please take a look at the flight model? Craig.. hey,do cows give milk?? Oh hell yeah.. Si I downloaded it and started my usual testing.. a tweak here,a tweak there, all small stuff really and mostly me being nit picky.. That was 5AM.. I just stopped flying it for a moment not six minutes ago. This thing is incredible fun.. Cruising speed 70 knots, max speed 126 knots, stall speed somewhere around 35 knots. It turns on a dime in the air and on the ground, and as long as you watch your speed,its one of the easiest birds to fly ive ever seen. Its a true delight and I'm really honored to be a part of it..

Is it just me or did he almost land in the undershoot?

Oddly enough I do fly out of the airfield in the video, Thruxton fact fans, and I've seen that Optica knocking around from time to time. My weapon of choice is the R-44 briefly seen towards the end of the film though.
