SimV Official Airshow, Yeovil UK, Jan '06 pics

Not the best quality but they'll give you an idea of the atmosphere. MANY thanks to those that organised this, a great success. We had a few teething problems, like the server and framerates trying to show three heavies at once but on the whole was great fun!

'The Crowd'. When not flying, we reverted to default AC to save framerates.


F3Hadlow taking off in the F16.


Jakemaster doing a glider display,


and landing safe.


Who ate all the pies? C17 apeared and later gave a good (large) STOL demonstration.


Quite a contrast here, both world wars to the present day!


Thought the C17 was big? I 'brought' the Antonov AN-225.


How many Cessnas can you get under one wing?


caption, "The glider pilot looked nervous as his tow plane arrived"! Theis in the Hawker Hunter.


[center]That'll do for now, any more pics please add them to this forum for all to see.

Excellent shots! How was the AN-225 display?

Glad you guys liked it!
Simon, how did you get your chat box to appear like that? It looks really cool!

[simonmd]

I'm a bit vague as to the rules on file size, etc. Is it max500kb per post or per thread? The pics I put on were all uploaded at once and I didn't get the "you are over the limit" warning.

The chat box is the default multiplayer chat box accessed via the top menu. If you are refering to the colour then I use an 'XP theme' program called TuneUp WinStyler that gives my windows a different colour and appearence.

The AN225 display was a bit haphazard! The 225 only flys comfortably over 220 kts and the C130 had trouble keeping up! Did manage a couple of low passes over the field but with VERY low framerates it was quite hard to control. Next time, i'll be in something smaller!
