Gannet

No Joy

Have tried to download 10 times now. Closest I got was 19.3 Mb out out 23 yesterday. Will keep trying as I love the weird and wonderful and the Gannet certainly qualifies in that department.

Regards, Rob:ernae:
 
Sorry about the probs, I have been using "winrar" but It's now a zip file and should be OK for downloading, hope you enjoy the model!

Hi Matt, thanks for your interest in the Gannet and for those fantastic screen shots! I have had a lot of help and encouragement from the guys at CBFs and I feel I owe them a certain amount of loyalty so I'll stick with things as they are at the moment, I think most people who want the file get it eventually.
Thanks again for downloading it and for taking the time to post the shots and for your positive comments.

Regards
Rob Richardson
 
I know it does not help, but can I just clarify 'Classic British Files' where the Gannet is hosted is not part of the CBFS as such. It was set up by one of members to host British based FS files. Actual CBFS files are in the Library section (via the front door) of CBFS. It is home to Rick P's, Dave G's and our other (afaliated) designers work only.

Robert, pop her up to FS.com (use a zip!) and Avsim in time for the coming long weekend, work like this deserves to be given the maximum coverage. You should not feel any great loyalty, if it restricting the use of all your hard work.
 
all i an say is
Thanks:applause::applause:

Thanks for that Trev,
Food for thought.
I did in fact get quite a bit of help from the guys at CBFS both Dave G and Rick were very helpful and gave me some excellent tips, Dave B recomended to me the Midland Air Museum for Gannet info, thank you to them.
Don't think I'm ready yet to go mainstream though.

Same here Henry, I've always just loved that aircraft and what a good job has been done on this medel, very happy here!
Also looking forward to seeing what paints may arise for her!
 
I may not have mentioned this before but I used to ride in Gannets during my Navy days. Before the epicyclic gearing became a problem, they were beautiful aircraft and Rob's classic is up there with the best of them.
 
Bloody shame that there's not a FS9 version. But it's on my list should I ever get a comp that will handle FSX.
 
Hi All, and thank you for the comments.
Sorry that there is no fs9 version but once you start down that "FSX acceleration" road there's no turning back, it only works in that sim.
I have just posted a new model over at Classic British Files to fix a few texture issues and with a new airfile to stop the creep forward on zero throttle, it also includes the missing smoke effect.

Regards
Rob
