Nigel Richards Avro Tutor

Thanks, gents !

Actually, while composing my post i thought i was replying to the huge Tutor thread in the FS2002/2004 forum... I must be going off my rocker about this enchanting lady... :topsy_turvy:

Bummer that Nigel didn't respond to your email, Huub, it would be good to know if he's alright in the first place.

But great news that it works perfectly in P3Dv4, thanks Spokes ! ( if that would've not been the case i would've seriously reinstalled either FS2002 or FS9 just to see this beauty come rolling out of my hangar ! :) In any case, i'm very glad NOT to read that the project has been scrapped.

As you say, sure, patience is the word and i still have a lot in store when it comes to that. Besides, i think it's part of this eccentric hobby to actually enjoy waiting for the release of a specific new model in the pipeline. Build up the tension so to speak. (not to say foreplay.. )

Thanks again, guys ! Fingers crossed ! :eagerness:

Cheers,
Jan
 
I wrote to Nigel yesterday. I know he is off grid (and battery system is down) so he will likely not show up until the weekend for responses.
 
Thanks Milton ! ( he did not respond yet, did he ?..)

What exactly does 'off the grid' mean ?.. No power at all ?.. ( i understand Nigel lives in Greece ?..)

I'll leave i tat that for nowe, harrd to typpe withj yopur finngers crossded. :)
 
Off the grid can be that he is 'hiding' or he has decided to have a break from everything, including us, for whatever reason he has decided.

LOL Jan.

Off the grid means he has no electrical (or other utility) service connected to his home. He lives off the land.

He has a solar system but he mentioned back in June that he has battery issues with that system so he likely has no power whatsoever there. He does have access to use his computer on the weekends.
 
Nigel showed up on my Messenger, so maybe he’s now able to log in and speak to where this beauty is in the development.
 
Good news! Thanks, gents, keep us posted, ok !?

And thanks for explaining 'off the grid', Milton ! Hopefully he will be reconnected soon.

I don't know why, i have hangars full of beautifully crafted virtual aeroplanes, but i just can't wait to get my dirty hands on this ever so enchanting Tutor beauty that Nigel has created. ( maybe it's because i came to Duxford 3 times all the way from Holland, only to see the show cancelled 3 times because of the weather. One time we arrived at the airfield and we heared the cancel message thru the speaker system while a lonesome, yellow Avro Tutor came in to land just before the heavenly floodgates were opened. I shall never forget that sight... and that feeling.. ;-)
 
It is great news that this project is coming to fruition, because I can testify that she is enchanting to look at and to fly.
 
Best news of the year !! :mixed-smiley-010: ( although i don't have FS9 nore FSX anymore. fingers crossed if it will ever fly in P3Dv4.... ;-)
 
Greetings and a very Happy New Year to all, Gentlemen!!!

Still off-grid, but with access to my files when visiting my daughter.

Yup. Off-grid life has its downside as well as the benefits of self-sufficiency, tranquility and freedom.

So, I'll shortly release the Tutor series to the standards of the last and final beta test last year.
The releases will include Extra liveries not involved during testing, so that should be something to look forward to, even for what I can only describe as a phenomenal team of highly enthusiastic and gracious team of people.

The initial releases will be high standard fs9/ FSX portovers, with native FSX verions still on the menu. For obvious reasons I cannot commit to time lines regarding the natives until we have the electricity issues at the homestead sorted out.
 
Kalimera Nigel. My wife and I just love Greece, and have holidayed to many of the islands over 30 years or more. Kefalonia is our favourite.

Off grid in Greece? I'd gladly swap that for my life in suburban Surrey.


:encouragement:

Hey! Kalimera 511Flyer.
Your good wife and yourself have extremely excellent taste, Sir.

Kefalonia is one of our favourite haunts...could wax lyrical about the breathtaking colours and water clarity which as you well know HAS to be seen to be believed.

Ummmm, how about time-sharing? I'm sure Surrey wouldn't be bad for a reliable source of electricity and productivity. LOL.

Seriously; somewhat bleak at our place this time of the year...well, bleak but cosy...
