Excellent! SEAC is a notable gap in the CFS3 world. :salute:

It makes me wonder just how CFS3 can handle so much aircraft with such beauty and articulation without even flinching!
The mechanics of the sim are truly amazing! Great job on the Liberators!
A little histirical tidbit for anyone who wants to know: The RAF based a few of these bombers here in the Bahamas during the war, to fly off to European battlefields hot off the assembly lines. I believe a few are making excellent deep water reefs in Bahamian waters.
For all who might want to know.

Hi, as water reefs is not the way we prefer seing them, but very interesting note Autothrottle,
Liberators may have ghostly shapes in the middle of multi colored fishes and corals, do you have pics ?

alain, Thanks very much for the interest.
However, unfortunately there are no pictures of Liberator wrecks around the Bahamas as they were listed in the national archives as missing or lost at sea. No one really mapped out exactly where these Liberators actually went down.
Some estimates are daunting. The waters surrounding us are very deep. You would likely need a specialised submarine team to look for them. One time they found an Apollo spacecraft here that ditched sometime around the early sixties or so. At a depth of some 30,000 or so feet of water.
Here are just a few pics of what they might look like underwater. Pictures are from Liberators shot down near Italy and the Pacific Atolls.

I think I'll enjoy this libby when it comes out. It has so many historical facts tied up into it!

The photo on the left is a 17.
Not enough of the other to tell the type.
Sad to remember I looked over a B-24J once (long time ago), located at the Tulsa, Oklahoma airport. No engines on her. They were all freshly overhauled, and canned, in the nearest hangar once owned by the airlines that once owned the plane.
What was left of the fairly complete 24 was pretty well shot full of holes, since the plane was used for target practice by the local law enforcement...or at least that was what I was told by the local guard in the area. Real sad to look at.

I have the d out to several folks taking a look at her to find all the problems. Once that is done I'll work on the J.
