Ooooh thankyou for your continued interest, Chris
Heavylifting in finishing the AVRO Project behind closed hangar doors, here. Closed, simply to avoid losing concentration. LOL.
VC is nearly finished, AVRO 621 Trainer (uncowled early 5 cyl Armstrong Mongoose as well as late 7 cyl Lynx and AVRO 621 Tutor almost in the BOX.
This leaves me with 621 float version, Polish 9 cyl licence-built PWS-18 and hopefully AVRO 626 Prefect IF I can squeeze out the neccessary polys for the rear, lewis gun position.
On completion; Bounty scenery and Milton's gorgeous skiff are in teh Works.
Warm Greetings to ALL
NigelHi Nigel.
Thank you for the update.Great news.
Cheers Chris.
For your info the Bounty,s boat modeled by Milton is the ships launch.The largest boat she carried.
The Bounty launch was typical of boats issued to Royal Navy
ships of the period. She was a standard issue 23 footer built by
a contractor to the Navy, Mister John Burr. It has been calculated that when overloaded with 19 men, gear and provisions, she floated with a bare 6 inches of freeboard.

I've been keeping an eye open to see if any updates on this lovely little plane are posted. Will you release wheel version before floats or all-in-one?
Well explained Sir. I had wanted to put the 23' launch aboard the Bounty along with the 20' Cutter but, alas, was against technical boundaries.
So much so, that I had to gut all of the "Hold" deck and much of the lower deck furnishings of the Bounty.
Nigel's scenery is unique is so many ways but this period scene is one to be relished and I am with all of you, awaiting his time to revisit and dazzle us in historic flavor.
I'm very much looking forward to his little seaport as well.

Okay Gentlemen, with fingers straying in horrifying close proximity to teh panic-button, I have attempted to illustrate the Progress on all fronts, on a NEW thread.
However, I have promised the Bounty Launch to myself as a most welcome personal RR escape in the coming weeks.

Well, I don't know, but P3D people "invest" in the "vehicles" logic (land,sea,air). Especially
with the avatar function in P3D v3, that you can actually change vehicles and explore the
world (scenery) on foot or with vehicles, potential increases dramatically...
At the same time, FSX/P3D mission system, offers the interactive adventure structure for
making flying adventures/stories - and Bounty is an "aircraft"...

xpelekis,
Great series of shots and video. I am happy that someone is getting pleasure from the Bounty project.
That was certainly my most challenging effort with regard to special xml programming of animations.
Thanks to a great team, we were able to create a rather immersive experience.
Nigel is away from his communications capabilities for a few days but should be back Sunday or Monday.

Bounty is really a very good simulation... Only some crew figures are missing.
With her and cannons added is my first ever naval sim on my pc.
Currently I'm exploring-testing various possibilities - in mission system - to
"squiz" out of it the most features needed for the closest experience to
a 17th century naval sim.
BTW : Is there somewhere the paint kit of the boat ?... I'd like to change flag
for having more variations and of course a pirate ship...

I thought for sure the paint kit was uploaded here at SOH but cannot find it.
I also cannot find it in my archives, so I have asked Nigel to help us out.
The flag may not be part of the paint kit (unsure). Its simply a bmp in the folder - unionjack512-256.

Thank's. Got it ! Greek & Hydra island flags (1821) have been risen !
Time for sailing the Greek islands...
BTW : Apart of the Bounty project scenery, is that small drivable dingy boat going to be released also ?...
It could be very handy...
Currently I'm customizing cannonball inflicted damage & relative effects
on Sea & Land (almost happy), so that I can actually start making a
sailing adventure after that :
