first class simulations lancaster

I guess the Lanc has blowers/superchargers. Do they work in the FCS simulation?

No, but an easy change in the aircraft.cfg will enable/simulate superchargers. I modified the cfg and now the engines still have a good boost @ 30.000 ft. The boost at lo altitude is not effected. In fact the modification comes from the default P51-D in FSX.

I think you'll find that the maximum ceiling for a Lancaster was 24000 ft on a good day. A few years ago I was visiting Just Jane in Kirby and I was informed by some veterans that the usual bombing height for a Lancaster was 18000 ft.

Yup.. I'd tend to agree with that Mike. Bandying around the web.. the highest quoted figure is 24,500. BSAA flew the Lancastrians a lot lower than the bombers.. well-sub 10K.

Thanks, gentlemen, for the quick answer. It's a pity, the blower shift is not simulated. In FS9, superchargers were not intended by design (only turbochargers) and you had to meddle with entries for turbochargers, emergency boost, critical altitude and what the hell not, and make calibration flights, to get the right performance figures. FSX-Acc for the first time introduced superchargers, that's what the P-51 was all about to demonstrate.

I just noticed that the Mk.III models have the exhaust covers. People might want to use the this model (or copy the Mk.III model files over to the Mk.I folder) with the wartime B.I paints for external realism. This includes George :)

Eek! You're right. I believe most wartime BI aircraft had these as standard. I'd certainly not have wanted to fly at night without them.

I have found several pics of other 75 sqn lancaster and it looks like the stacked the serial on the left side due to the sqn practice of putting the sqn code letters aft of the roundel on the left side. Pictures shows ordinary serial on the right side.
 
I have settled with Mike as it looked after 39 combat ops, the nose art was at this time also in its original form. It looks like it was partly overpainted at a later date. That makes the nose art as it looks on the MOTAT Lancaster wrong as it shows the full bomblog and the nose art in its original form. This depiction also shows the cartoon character "Captain Reilly Foull" with boots, on the real nose art he had shoes and long socks.

Mid august 1944, flown by Francis Wood and crew.

I really like that JensOle. First class job sir. Incidentally, "Captain Reilly Foull" was one of my dads favourite cartoons during the war:encouragement:

Thanks for all your efforts JensOle (and of course also DaveQ for the original paintkit).

Cheers,
Huub

 
Looks great!

Are planning to do the new 2017 BBMF Lancaster paint scheme?

The left-hand side will be painted as 460 (RAAF) Squadron Lancaster W5005, coded AR-L "Leader", which had nose art of a kangaroo playing bagpipes, indicating the Australian and Scottish backgrounds of one of its crews.

The right side will carry the 50 Squadron code letters VN-T, representing the Lancaster flown by FO Douglas Millikin DFC – grandfather of the BBMF's current Officer Commanding, Squadron Leader Andy "Milli" Millikin, on 27 of his first tour of 30 operations.

Would make a cracking addition to the first class simulations Lancaster!

I was wondering how long it would be before someone had a go at this one. Can they get it done before the real thing is painted!
 
Hmm.. having read Matt's post again, I think he's asking Jens or Huub if they plan to do this paint. Sri Matt (though you can take it on if you wish):encouragement:

No more Lancaster paints from me at the moment. The model is actually not even in the sim, I'm in a jet period at the moment... But the wheel tends to be round and come back to ww2 aviation at some point.

Not hugely interested in these fictive hybrid schemes. Then the real war schemes are more of interest.

Right on the mark Jens, while people are free to choose fiction over authenticity, I (just me, myself) find the historic aircraft best.
