The Octopussy Jet For Shadowe

Hi all,

Shadowe was looking for the jet from Octopussy in the 'Aircraft wanted' forum & a link was left by SilverFox441 to here:

Octopussy Jet

designed for FS2002, but she seems to fly ok in FS9 aswell.

Anyway, here she is if anybody wants to have a look:

The 2D cockpit:

The VC:

A very manouverable plane (read: twitchy):
Image
Comes with stunt smoke aswell:
Image
Lastly, a couple of close ups:

Image
She flies ok, even though she can be a bit of a handful & is very twitchy (But then what do you expect from a very small jet) - my only problem was that I couldn't steer her on the ground, but that could just be me, I didn't waste a lot of time trying figure it out.

Cheers,

TSC.

;DGreat Shots! Now you have me wondering if someone has done the Bell Jet Ranger from "The Spy Who Loved me"?

On the real plane it's just behind the pilot (on the sides):

But obviously not modelled on the FS2002 one.

You didn't use a horsebox as a hangar, nor did you blow up a hangar full of troops so no points this round ;)

FYI - the only way that bird is steered is with individual brakes (i.e. - F11 & F12 buttons).

I know of a small jet that some guy flys in and out of his house in Arizona, USA...

I wonder if that's the same plane?

Cool shots and find!
