Lancaster!

Actually, it was a night raid and the text at First Class Simulations now just states "Most famous for its precision bombing "Dam Buster" raids"

Yes AD...I know. I was quoting the original blurb at the FSC website which stated it was a daylight raid. Its now been corrected.

Rowdy, if such spooky goings-on intrigue you, google RAF Bircham Newton and have a read through what it coughs up. Long before your time, there was a BBC radio broadcaster named Jack de Manio who investigated the place and made recordings inside the squash courts there. I've never heard them, but I have talked with a man who worked at Bircham Newton after it became a training centre for the Construction Industry Training Board, and he did confirm that there had been some very odd things happen in the building.

thanks for this sounds like a very interesting story. what intrigues me is whether or not I beleive the stories or not... and it's uplifting to think that those men from 1940's may still be doing now what they did then, echoing eternally in their old homes....
I am intrigued about supernatural activity surrounding aviation.. which strated when my father encountered a UFO over Heathrow on hold-off (he is a captain for BMI). He and the Co-pilot observed an odd gasious object about 1000 feet to the right and about 200 feet below at night. After it had vanished, it had screwed up the avionics and they had to re-tune...
 
Well the exterior looks superb, definitely interested in this, more screenies would be nice to help decide.
 
I can almost smell the inside of a Lanc from thoose shots, Dan.

Is it only available on a CD? It looks a BIG file for a DL version.

I love the post WW2 version.
 
Attached are a few shots from the true RC. My shots above are slightly dated.

The VC has quite a few of the little systems modelled- fire test, fire warning, prop feathering, flap indication, gear indication, radiators, and a complete, massive engineering console, with realistic operations and animations. It also has individually controlled flood and panel lights, as well as of course the glowing gauges.

The night shot is of the cockpit with the white panel floods turned on, not the main cabin light- that's a nice 'old' yellow glow.

I would presume it'll be out as a download as well as boxed retail, though I don't think it's too large. Certainly not near the 1gb mark from memory.

I hope everyone enjoys it- it's a far cry from the last Lanc I built ;)

Best
Dan.
 
Can see your modelling coming along Dan, good stuff.

I must admit since I cant fly the other one yet I think ill be buying yours to tide me over. Your modelling has really come along and the VC is indeed very atmospheric.

Of course a model is but one part of the enitre simulation, soooo, any chance you can tell us any other insider details dan on how she fly's, systems etc. I dnt always fly damage or accu-sim on but I think in the lanc I will really wanna click as many switches as possible,... oh god its such a beautiful aircraft, oh no am feeling weepy.
 
Thanks. :ernae: I used a few methods I've learnt from the commercial side of things.

Off the top of my head, there is definitely not a single non-working gauge, and 99% if not 100% of switches do what they should do. Even needles drop and droop until energised.

It has been a while since I worked on the Lanc- such is the way it works with boxed stuff. I'll attempt to answer questions to the best of my ability. Forgive me if I do not answer all too promptly though- I don't frequent boards that much these days.
 
Lewis, you took the word right out of my mouth "weepy".
Dan, I am truely breathless at those shots. I can't wait until I can put her(s) through their paces. Your work has always been top shelf, but as Lewis says, "you are improving nicely with experience". :ernae:
 
She looks awsome Dan. Really looking forward to taking her up, hopefully in the near future.
 
Holy Truck Me Dead ! ... there is some thing so aluring to that cockpit .the real ... :medals:
