Scimitar by Rob Richardson....

So smooth..!

Thumbs up on this one. Finally got time to waste some fuel and must say it has the smoothest ride one could want onto the deck. First time, bang on! If you love 'non-electric' jets that fly great and look even better
('cause it's British design) ,this is a must have, must fly!
Thanks for your efforts on this classic naval fighter, much appreciated.

Hiya Rob:wavey:

It's RAF_PW_ATH.. RAF

Works fine for both RAF and RN:encouragement:
EDIT: It's a bit clunky and there's no lower-case plus spacing can be a bit OTT at times but it's a great font and a MUST for later Brit stuff;). I have Warpaint#85 on the way too!!

Rob, thanks so much for your latest creation! A most welcome addition to the virtual Royal Navy hangar ! Mike :ernaehrung004:
 
Rob..

Re the underwing fonts.. 112 (and some others) use a slightly different font to RAF_PW.. one of the WWII fonts may be closer WW2Fonts

RAF_PW is good for the titles though:encouragement:

Thank you very much Dave.
Had to reinstall Win 10 a few weeks ago onto a new SSD, I had most of the RAF fonts saved but since the demise of "simmers paintshop" not all of them.

Gads.. I know that feeling Rob. I still have the vast majority of FS fonts on my WinXP rig and every now and again.. I waste an hour trawling through them all to find the one I want then drag it over to this rig!:banghead:

This little birdie is a fun one to fly. Im not that familiar with the history of the Scimitar, but I do wonder if she flys like a heavy bird (F-4) or more like an A-4. As a two engined aircraft, I would think more like an F-4? Reason for asking is that I think this one currently "floats" a lot. Getting her to lose lift and get down on the deck is a bit different. I did 2 go arounds before getting her cross deck on the Oriskany as a visitor!

The Scimitar flight dynamics were designed, uncompromisingly, for easy deck landing.
However there are certain trade-offs, “yer pays yer money and takes yer choice” or in this case “yer pays no money”.
Please, instead of criticising freeware, put your neck on the block and give us what you think is an accurate airfile.
 
This paint has gone on for long enough. I can't say I'm 100% happy with it or that it's 100% finished but it'll do for now as an alternative to Rob's 112 for those wanting to land on Victorious with a native scheme.

Thanks Dave, I like the stenciling you added!
 
Cheers matey:encouragement: I have more to add but I'm waiting for Warpaint#85 to hit the doormat. Some stencils are 'universal'.. others (that you'd expect to be universal) are not:dizzy: When I've finally worked out which are and which are not.. I'll probably reissue this one along with a few new ones.. I hope;)

Rob please accept my apology if I have offended you! My question was to understand the flight dynamics of an airplane I am unfamiliar with. Not criticism! I am a 100 percent fan and appreciate the work you and many others put into our collective hobby.
