There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

"The family wagon" AD-5/A-1E is the aircraft I miss most not having in FSX/P3D.

Raf sar
Hi Ian,
Officially the RAF SAR capability was due to be handed over on the 4th October; Chivenor being the last RAF station to operate. However, due to technical difficulties, a request by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency for them to continue providing cover for a further short period of time. The final handover took place last week. Now, the South West SAR is covered from M&CA base at St. Athan in South Wales.
Chivenor is still training but only for 'Military SAR', but only for a short time.
They've a Facebook page at the moment:

As for RN SAR, I'm sure they stopped before the RAF!
And for the dear old Sea King; April/May next year marks the end of the line! Very sad!

Not quite right, RN SAR finishes end of March next year. Meanwhile the Sea King Mk7 will carry on until 2017/18 in the AEW* role by which point they should have figured out how to get the kit onto a Merlin.
*Technically it's ASAC but I can never remember what that stands for and it just encourages the Baggers...
Although its fake, I think it looks absolutely great!
Still developing Tim [Piglet] Conrad's Super Tucano paintkit in 4096 res.... though this one's entirely fake...
Still more to do...

Thanks, Huub ...
I'm inputting the original paints into the hi res ....here's one almost done....
Missing the... what you call it? The thingy below the C (Cedilha here), and the acute accent on "força aérea", but you probably know that.
You rock Jafo, this plane deserves the love.

Thanks Skippy
Thanks Skippy for correcting my deliberate mistake!
FYI ASaC stands for Airborne Surveillance and Control.
All the best,
ChipShop

Memories
Flying around low and slow in LikSki's Aeronca 7AC Champ. This aircraft is representative of the first airplane that I ever owned. I was one of the "beta testers" and Kevin included N3547E in the initial release. Had lots of fun with it in real life before trading for a Luscombe 8A.
Anybody remember the "Champ Camp" thread we had going over on the 2004 page when this aircraft was first released? One of the main contributors is no longer with us. May he rest in peace+

Kirk Olsson Mirage F1CT in the colours of EC02.030 "Normandie-Niemen" based at Base Aerienne 132 Colmar-Meyenheim, 2007.
Nice! I wish we had a native Mirage F1. Any good FSX ported versions around?

Afaik the Kirk Olsson models are the only ones. The FS9 model looks totally dull/flat in FSX due to loosing all specularity/shine. I converted the model to native FSX to enable specular and envmap but the caviat is that the FS9 VC is lost in the process. When I have more time I want to marry the exterior model with the Restauravia Mirage III VC model, it is not an F1 but it has some similarity.
F1CR from ER02.033 "Savoie", BA112 Reims-Champagne, 2010.
