Fast Food....

Postby TSC. » Sun Jan 08, 2006 5:57 am

Hi all,

Just decided to download one of the Supermarine Napier's from the Schneider Races & take it for a quick spin - one of the ATT camps needed some supplies, but unfortunately all I could fit in this bird was a tin of beans.

Oh well - some you win, some you lose.

Just 'stashing' my tin of beans somewhere safe - as you can see, the bread was already on it's way in the Cub behind me ;D:
Image

& away we go, fast food has never been so much fun - McDonalds Happy Meal - pah!!:
Image

Some low level fun along the way:
Image
Image

Not far to go now, just over that hill. I think I can safely presume that I beat the the bread getting here ;D:
Image

Surprise Surprise - not a loaf in site, but then the Napier does fly 3x faster than a Cub on floats:
Image

I'm just hoping that the Napier can almost stop like a Cub on floats:
Image

"I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a tin of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that." I shouted across in my best Casablanca impression:
Image

I guess i'll just wait here for the bread to arrive seeing as I haven't had lunch myself yet.  8)

Cheers,

TSC.

Almost zero - with only a compass & a rev counter aswell (& a tin of beans):

;D
Well, that makes my case.  Those are nice pictures of the floater, but the water, at close range - especially when using float planes is crappy - and I am a float plane enthusiast.  I have tried, without success to find water textures for float planes.  Anyone who does, please let me know

Let me know aswell - 90% of my flights are in float planes & like splash said - the textures at close range lose a lot.

Cheers,
