Just passing the time learning animation -_- Well done then ! That is COOL B-) I have not touched animation for almost 20 years

Looking Great Marty, it amazing the variations of the refueler, the versions with wing refuel buddy packs to the aircraft assigned to the early jets to have one even tested with jets , by then the KC-135 was incoming ... all that from a B-29 , not to shabby.

I had a day, afternoon , was four plus hours reading about the Neptune , pulled both books, one thing pointed out about the type , WWII design again but how versatile it was, even scored and created the record for a twin engine aircraft in its weight class to fly on one engine from Barbers Point in Hawaii to Half Moon Bay , San Francisco , well over 1200 miles , It did say it was a little tuckered out , .... what they did not modify on a Neptune .... still held other records for an active combat aircraft in its class .... Go Neptune B-)

Cheers Ian ... this old girl will be screen fun ... Team Strat , JK :bow:

Mike :thumbup: thanks for scanning and posting that , aircraft types like that, its the very reason the engineer is the busiest member on board always adjusting and twiddling, it a good show with the how the airflow is affected , when they break, the cowl flaps, 'boy your in trouble', the B-29/50/377 was one of the first high aspect ratio wings, least the Boeing design was more technical and supercritical , soon as those cowl flap were in the wrong setting its a bit like today spoilers.

Nice work big O .... LOVE # 1 :thumbup: Yeah 1 is my fave too. Tho that was #1, Take 2. First attempt was a somewhat interesting attempt

Don't wanna bash Virtuacol coz they do fill a gap in the market for some titles, but come on, 2006 called and want their model back !!! That was about when the FFS Saab 340 came out for FS9 and I think that still looks better now (shame you cant run it in FSX, and can't buy it any more) Review here: (ps - thanks for sharing Terry, don't wanna detract too much from your pics :))

Thanks for the advise! :cheers: We'll try to go ..... Only two nights at New Orleans. Dani. Anytime. Fantastic Cajun cuisine from a fantastic Chef

:rolleyes: Arr come on Owen ... Least its a Boeing :) That's whats stopping me loading the shotgun :)

:rolleyes: ....... :lol:

Its a good experiment, I, for example have gone back to simple pencil line art and this time complete a couple in water colour , its the same with screens and like Marty said both , but had you put in one , people would say it is superb ... I think you have to draw on your on decision ... maybe ask the people around you , then come back with the optional edit :)

OK .. new location .. I'm going to move into the suburb ,Upper Riccarton, Christchurch, New Zealand and find this 'skinman' who ever or what he is :unsure:

Oh wow. Having just reinstalled the 377 yesterday I can see some interesting flights coming up over the next few days as I compare them.

It is a nice screen , I do wonder who chooses the back seat tho , you wouldn't want Big Mama in back would ya :D

I do have a gorgeous book here called "Aerial Espionage" covers everyone little tricks lies and loss's and even tampering with aircraft registration to full the intercepts, the 'Rivet' missions 'Rivet Ball' started in 1970 , before that the missions were called 'Big Team' and 'Combat Pink' using the RC-135 s off many types. The book was published in 1985 when spy v spy from everybody and airforce by Dick van der Aart a Dutch who dealt with aviation development security research.

:groupwave:

Did the Andover come from the 748 ? I know some 748's are referred to as Andovers . The Hawker Siddeley HS 780 Andover is a twin-engined turboprop military transport aircraft produced by Hawker Siddeley for the Royal Air Force developed from the Avro-designed HS 748 airliner.
