The flying helmet and collimated gunsight requests have been incorporated:

Excellent news ! BiG Thank YOU!!!
Im a customer now .

P3DV3.4 has a lot of changes but a lot of nightmares for devs. Finally got the gunsight sorted but there's a lot more to learn about that sim to get the best out of these projects. I hope they stabilise for a while and give us a chance to catch up.

P3D4 ? Where ?
You are wrong, now its a P3Dv3 still (exactly P3D3.4.9.18400).

 

[bazzar]

Current version is P3DV3.4. The Meteor looks terrific in the sim. They certainly have done a lot with it since 3.3 I'm not complaining, I just would like some time to get to know it all before something new is added again.

I'm pretty sure that you're standing in front of one of the meteors from the "barnfind" squadron which was made famous for having an innovative ground radar that pinpoints old bugatti's and ferrari's hidden in barns. The livery you see there was specially formulated to make sure that the owners of the barn find didnt clue on to the actual price of their bugatti and let it go for the price of a ford mondeo.

The squadron was active until very recently when the airforce formed a new squadron called the "ebay snipers" and the requirement for overflights was greatly diminished.

Thank you every much for some more repaints for this aircraft.

Could I please ask for a favour? I was hoping that you maybe able to "fix" the paint "Bowl em Over!" A77-17 that was released with the JF package?

"Bowl em Over!" was actually A77-207 and not A77-17 as released. A77-207 was flown by Pilot Officer Geoff Collins.

I hope you could help me in rectifying this...but if not I fully understand? I am surprised that Aussieman -whom was a beta tester on this- did not pick up on the historical error!

Regards,
Tim.

Tim, I just uploaded A77-207 to the Warbirds Library. I can imagine how AH got the serial wrong, there are drawings on the web with A77-17. Photos are a much better source, they clearly show the serial as A77-207, not A77-17.

BTW, in the book "All in a Day's Work: Some Experiences of 45 RAAF Pilots 1939-1945" there is an interview with Wg Cdr Ken Godfrey about his flight with A77-207 on Nov 29, 1952. He got hit by AA gun fire, the left engine died but he managed to land safely at Kimpo AB. Apparently the aircraft was repaired, there are photos of it from the 1960's, it was converted to an U21A target drone.
