AWESOME screenshots most appreciated, cavaricooper :)
Pleased you like the automatic slots, too.

Hey Nigel, technically the moving surface is a slat, the space between wing and the moving surface that is created by the slat deploying is the slot. (I do get paid to know this stuff in my day job :jump:)

Pete-

Yes, but in this Avro they are referred to as "Slots"- not usual, however, I ASSUMED Sir Nigel chose to model what the real aircraft had as a placard... terminology has evolved over the last 80 odd years... currently, I agree they would be called Slats.....

Best- C

Yes, technically speaking Pete is spot on with the terminology.

In the case of the AVRO, David Watmuff, Collections Manager for the Air Force Museum Of New Zealand, at short notice very graciously provided us with some much needed interior reference photos of the museum's AVRO 626 Prefect :)

Do you see what I see??

Latest flight in Prepar3d v4.4.... look CLOSELY at the cowl ring and tell me if you are as amazed as I am?

This model NEVER disappoints, and ALWAYS amazes!

WOW!

The highest compliment I can offer Sir Nigel et al, is that spending time in his team's creation, allows me to forget the present day and remember the years I flung my eager craft through the footless halls of air.

These 3 aircraft (and I confess my heart belongs to the Tutor) are simply superb- period.

This is Lockheed Martin's latest, version 4.5... and guess what gem works perfectly? I am continuously amazed by this bit of freeware. Many, many payware developers could take notes.

Ta Nigel et al- C

4.5!!! Now that's a step in the right direction.
Thanks for the HU, Carl.
:ernaehrung004:

Almost through with the upgraded, fully native 621, 621 Trainer, and 621 Tutors.
Will also incorporate 'cold - dark - parked' pilot visibilty as requested by some users.

Hopefully we'll also have a paintkit ready for Easter.
 
XP11 version?

Nigel, your Tutor is an absolute work of art - well done and thank you!
Any plans to make a version for XP11?

Incredible work. This Avro series must surely win the freeware Oscar as it is - yet it's about to get even better!!! :redfire:

This old girl ALWAYS makes me smile and relax at the end of a long day in the Salt Mines. Today, I loaded the first beta for AS P3D and ASCA in P3D v4.5 HF3 (there's a mouthful) and decided the best way to check out the improvements would be to go to a bit of the world that has Wx galore... Innsbruck. What better ride to see all the sights, and delight in pure aerodynamics. Nigel- this aeroplane is brilliant- even in a very up to date sim. I haven't made the change to v5, but v. 4.5 with the new ASCA is doing a pretty good job of visible air... nicht?

Danke Nigel!

I started out by wanting to check out the new Wx program, and ended up drooling all over the aeroplane- just a perfect location, for a perfect aeroplane!

If you're stuck at home- spend time in the Tutor- you won't be sorry!

I was relaxing in Nigel's Tutor this evening with a short St. Maarten/St. Bart's and back. Slipping on at Juliana, I went outside for a peek and I saw this-

Now, this is in P3D v4.5 HF3, and there's so much, so very right about this photo, that I can't stop staring... perhaps some of you will appreciate it too. Couple that with a most relaxing and picturesque flight, and this has altogether been a very civilized way to tuck her in for the night, and turn in myself.

Bravo Nigel, she still does you and the team PROUD!

PS- just re-found the compass fix, so I will put that in before I put her away for the evening.
