There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The present model is only the MkI/III, so a repaint will never be authentic...Just putting this here in case @jocko417 picks this up.Some nice post-war RCAF schemes!

That would have been the one for me!
I don't know why, but I find demilitarized heavies in post-WW2 service very interesting. In some cases, I actually prefer them to the combat ones. Aeroplane Heaven mentioned that they could do a native MSFS2024 version of their Lancaster - I wonder if they might, instead, divert their energies towards the modified RCAF Lanc in your picture.

Understand. Not worried about down to the rivet authenticity...Would REALLY love to see AH do a Mosquito - especially a PR- variant!

@DennyA what's the scenery in that second shot?Frame rates are solid for me in FS2024, but I'm using a 4090, so I have a stupid video card.
Question for the Lancaster experts: Given how often missions were flown at night, how did they see the instruments? Flashlight? Can’t find instrument lighing controls in the manual or the panels.
A few shots... Posting more in the Screenshots thread.

Yeah, I'm totally fine with that. Heck, I'd accept a cool post-war Avro Lincoln livery on the Lancaster.
There's always an element of imagination and make-believe with flight simming, and I can accept the turrets and other differences as I cruise over Hamilton, Ontario in my Canadian Lanc. Same. I've been flying Lagaffe's awesome Champ with @Killbilly's awesome liveries. Completely fictional, but they look great and are fun to fly in. It'd be the same with a post-war RCAF Lancaster. And yeah, add my vote for a Mossie!
It's "RAF Bardney 1945," freeware from Flightsim.to. Links to that and the Coningsby scenery are at the top of the post I linked in the Screenshot thread. Lots of static Lancasters there. It's a great scenery overall. All it really needs is an update of the too-clean taxiway textures, but even without that it's a good place to base from with this plane!
