Outstanding!!!
Had a dozen or so circuits in both the Scimitar and the Bucc S.2 - simly stunning.
The only oddity I found was that in launching the Alphasim/Virtavia Scimitar, it "bumped" up and down the length of the cat, whereas it didn't do this when launched off the Ark, and no other aircraft that I tried did this at all on the new Vic '60. I'm inclined to think this behaviour has more to do with the AS/V Scimitar as opposed to the boat itself.
In any event, a fantastic project. In addition to the superb quality of the boats, what shocked me was the graphics performance. By that I mean not minimal, not negligible - but ZERO - impact on FPS. Pegged at 25, the boat was at 25 fps with the Scimitar. The Bucc was around 18 - that's the same as what I get with the Bucc at any land-based aerodrome. What appears (to my limited knowledge of graphics) to be "baked" textures, the look and feel is miles over the Ark.
To date, in my view, the RFN carriers had set the bar in terms of the visual quality and frame rate performance. Skip, Fras, and team have clearly entered that arena - this set of boats is simply stunning. Bravo.
I'd basically "checked out" of this hobby over the last few months - I'd had enough of watching negative, ignorant and belligerent coments being posting with impunity. But projects such as these help restore some of the excitment that was this hobby many years ago ...
Many thanks,
DL
