ILS Deviation Bug

The lower a/c is correct commoner. The strobes are encased in the same housing too. If I can find one, I'll post a pic for you when next I hit my hay

The majority of my flying has been above "injun territory" Brett, so perhaps that explains the higher incidence.

...Thanks dir old pal.......I've added the strobes and will add some housings when I know what they look like........commoner

You're most welcome  ;D

By the way, for a little more realism, you could add an anti-col beacon to the forward most part of the fin too  ;)

...mm...thanks dir......does that  rotate or is it a strobe would you know......and is there one also on the belly? At the moment it has a non strobing white tail nav and a white strobing belly light..............sort me out please .....commoner

Update... this pic I found has the anti col beacon as you describe and also one on the belly by the looks.........

The photo you have there is the "Q"... here is the promised pic of 'my' firebrand "R", recognisable by the longer nose. It has the legendary IO520 engines pushing out 285hp in standard form...



If you look closely, you can see the relatively rare windshield de-ice screen (vertical strip). Still fewer of these aircraft were in fact cleared for flight in known icing conditions, but having such a feature doesn't mean this is definately one of them.

The tail anti-col' is red and usually rotates. Same for the belly on your model. All the strobes are white. The nav lights are steady and illuminate as follows: starboard (green) 000-110 degrees; tail (white) 110-250; port (red) 250-360. Thus, using simple rules of relative bearing and colour, collisions are avoided, when using the 'Mk1 Eyeball'.

...Hey, thanks a bunch Brett........that's really helpful......is the removal of the "nav strobes" mandatory for this a/c........I rather like mine and think I'll be a devil and keep 'em.........commoner

LOL.. yeah, I won't tell anyone..  I asked him if there was a way to further isolate the strobes from any possible fuel or fuel vapor.. but I guess it's the high voltage in general, and all the little ways for voltage to be "induced" or "capacitated". That kinda makes sense. I'll ask him if this was a Cessna or FAA thing and just how mandatory it was.
