Great to have you aboard, Pete.

Beautiful pics - Is that Abingdon somewhere down there?

What a debut!

This model is really incredible. When you fly it, you really have the feeling you are there! Everything fits. The model is absolutely perfect, textures are really breathtaking and the sounds are stunning.

You have been teasing us for quite a while with the images of this perfect model Nigel. Now I can fly it, I realise that it is really worth every second I waited for it.

Cheers,
Huub

Pete, I haven't found this variant. I managed to activate the Avro 621 by renaming the air file (which was called tutor.avro I think) but can't find this one. Could you tell me the model and config entry so I can check? Thanks!

This is the cfg from my FSX-SE installation.
FWIW there have been a couple of glitches but Nigel is sorting it.

description= AVRO 621 K3295 Royal Air Force. The Avro Model 621 was designed by Roy Chadwick as an Avro private venture metal replacement for the Avro 504. Conceived as a light initial pilot trainer, the biplane design featured heavily staggered equal span, single-bay wings - the construction was based on steel tubing (with some wooden components in the wing ribs) with doped linen covering. A conventional, fixed divided main undercarriage with tail skid was used in all but the latest aircraft, which had a tail wheel. The Model 621 was powered either by a 155 hp (116 kW) Armstrong Siddeley Mongoose or Armstrong Siddeley Lynx IV (180 hp/130 kW) or IVC (240 hp/179 kW) engine; later Lynx-powered models had the engine enclosed in a Townend ring cowling. The Mongoose powered version was called the 621 Trainer and the more numerous Lynx-engined aircraft the Tutor. The Tutor also differed by having a more rounded rudder. The first flight of the prototype G-AAKT was in September 1929, piloted by Avro chief test pilot Captain Harry Albert 'Sam' Brown.

Sascha66; This is a WIP texture specifically requested by Pete - but I will happily make it available to all of the initial test team members, Sir

Will share the files this evening, my friend.

Thanks for explaining the situation re cfg.file 'glitches', Wombat666 - will be sending updated/improved cfg. files for all versions, this evening, Sir.

Many Thanks,

Nigel

Look at all the details..........

The AVROs are extremely detailed. For instance check the welds on the exhaust....

 

[huub vink]

Meanwhile in the paintshop....

Slowly making progress......

With Seasonal Greetings To All

Work In Progress

The French ace Capitain George Garde, was one of the few pilots to become an ace flying the Bloch MB.152

Still in progress

Well done Huub. That brushwork adds a spark to the 152.

And the time consuming process of weathering has started.....
