Easy to ramp start?
I purchase soon!

Zsolt

Yes, very easy. It has a quick start "bar" ( for want of a better word ) similar to the English Electric Lightning that toggles a bunch of switches together. There are a few steps but I only had to watch the video a couple of times to learn the procedure. Sometimes I toggle the throttle from off to idle a bit too late and it fails to start, but even if this happens it will start on the second try quite easily.

Here is the start up video:

The terrain following radar is excellent too.

The moving map display comes with Italy, Germany and UK maps installed, but there is also a video tutorial on how to create more maps for any area. That is also very easy. The most time consuming bit is waiting for the map files to download.

@ Navy Chief, I also only learned what the Tonka was very recently on this site. I had no idea it was called that even when I bought the Tornado.

That's a really cool paint job. Which Sea King model is this? I am tempted to get it just to fly around with that paint.

Edit:

Nevermind, I read the cfg.txt in the download. It's a good time to get a Virtavia aircraft, currently being 50% off.

Cheers,

Pretty much got the paint layout done. It's taken forever.... up to about 120 screengrabs for trial and error...but the layout 'stencil' is within 1 or 2 pixels of absolute.

Once I get the lines done and a bump map .... it'll start looking like a bird...

Awesome!!!!!!

Hi Scott I didn't put any detail with the screenies as I presumed everyone would know it was the Virtavia model. Yes.. 50% off is a great time to buy and I can wholeheartedly recommend this model. OK.. it has it's faults and the VC is a bit old looking now but of all the Alpha/Virtavia models I've ever bought (and boy.. have I bought a lot!!) this one is surely the best. I rarely get my money back on payware.. more often than not I don't even come close but the Sea King owes me nothing. Thank you for your kind words about the paint too

Just to add .... this is Hadi Tahir's Yak-130. I kinda see why there aren't too many repaints of this critter. Hopefully I'll be able to get a few done.
Still adding panel details...

Also got 'into' the model and changed some colours ....darkened the glass .... stuff like that. A year ago or so I think I'd also killed the gloss ....to the point I can't get it back via alpha ....so I'll need to get back to the original model and 'rethink'... [that's an 80,80,80 alpha gloss]

Edit...
I think I know why I delved into modelmat in the first place....
Here's the same paint...only with a 255,255,255 alpha ....only with the original model from 2008.....alright if you want something in 'metal'.

 

[Jafo]

Oh, fine....so the alpha does nothing....even full black it's the same...so 'gloss' is all down to the model settings...

Splendid Fellow Mr.B
Excellent work as ever!
Would a slightly 'sootier'/weathered version be at all possible Dave? Perhaps with exhaust stains trailing down across fuselage number?

[DaveB]

I'll see what I can come up with. That's not clean by the way.. it already has a weathered layer though nowhere near it's full potential

Rename maps 1, 2 and 4 to 1ns, 2ns and 4ns then replace with the 3 maps in the zip.

Time off from the linework to add other details.
Working around the 'unpaintables' is a bit of a pain...
