[nazca_steve]

Hello all,

well, at long last the final pack in the bubble canopy series of Canberras for FS9 is ready for download:

This pack covers test-bed, experimental and photo-reconnaissance Canberra roles. There are 9 total models in the pack, including the PR.3, PR.7, B.6 (mod) and T.22. Full details available here:

Happy flying and thanks to all those that have supported Flying Stations and in particular, this series of models. This was a rolling release of 8 packs, started Nov 2010 and ending here now in Feb 2012! A bit of a slog, but we got there in the end and lots learned along the way. While I do not have any plans to abandon FS9, my focus is now going to shift over to FSX development.



Here are some of the models:

B.1 with DH Spectre rocket engine:



B(I).8/B.6 (mod):



PR.7 with flare drop effects:



VC:



PR.7 Clear air turbulence mod with Avon RA.24 engines:



B.6 (mod) with clear air turbulence nose cone:



T.22:

Are there plans to make any of the Canberras FSX native?

Like the new look of the website btw.

[andy190]

You do know that it doesn't need to be FSX Native to work in FSX.

But I believe that they designed the Canberras to have good FSX Compatibility so they wouldn't need to make them Native.

[FoxThree]

I know, just wondering and would prefer it to be FSX native.

Hello all,

first and foremost, thanks for the positive feedback, both on the models and the web site.  As Andy190 points out, they will work for the most part in X ok, barring some canopy glass issues and some of the VC controls not working. 

But yes, there are indeed plans to convert some of the packs to FSX this year, as well as a few new build FSX packs for the B-57 tandem seat variants and the EE interdictors with fighter canopy.  All my future development is going to be in FSX now (with some possible FS2004 versions) so as to bring all Flying Stations products into one angle of attack as it were in future. 

As for the web site, I just completed the major refresh of it for 2012, so glad to know it's going down well so far. 

Cheers for the support fellas, a few repaints for this pack will follow on in the next week or so.

Evening all,

I've never flown this part of the world before, but the stock scenery is quite enjoyable nonetheless.  Testing out a new repaint I finished this evening and will put it online soon.

Mountain rescue has reported a downed light aircraft along the foothills of the Himalayas.  106 (PR) Sqn has been tasked with flare marking the crash site:




This shot came out nicely - I was working from this reference photo:

Yes, the port nacelle is not silver, but the way I mapped the engines means it would have made the stbd one silver too.  So I left it painted.



Getting closer:



Flares dropped:



Banking back over to take some shots and mission complete.  Another fine day's work for the Indian Air Force Canberras.
