Well ... this release took me by surprise as well!! I checked the site and found I had a few credits to spend

Looks like our summer is finally petering out at NZWP ...

Up, up and away ...

To Wanaka!

Was forced to stop/refuel/party at Ohakea, so didn't get down to Wanaka till the following morning ...

I've always loved this incredible aircraft. Many schoolboy memories of it doing very naughty things when displays weren't quite so "politically correct".

I'm not entirely sure about some of the JF repaints. As I've delved a little into the repainting world lately, I'm maybe more critical than before. Some of the models seem to have way too much gloss. Even a newly restored/polished aircraft wouldn't be *that* shiny. Shame, as it's an easy enough thing to get right initially - much harder to correct later.

However - it's still an amazing aircraft in so many other respects - and definitely a "keeper" for my hangar. Splitpin - get well soon, so you can treat yourself to this one. You'll love it

very Nice Ian & adamski very

Adam and Ian - great pics of the 'muscle' plane. Just Flight models always leave me wondering how they'd look if 'Warbirdsim' or 'A2A' had a few days with them.

Cracking shots of the Lightning!

Hmmmm get the camera repaired or purchase this *decisions"

... I am really enjoying this , after a few extra play the rating is gently climbing , 92% now after spin last night .

by **BobL** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 12:39 pm

Adam,. I am not surprised you bought this after our discussing about the documentary on Cold War Jets the other day. Brilliant screen shots guys

Great screens chaps, a favourite Cold Warrior.
Love those tales of hunting down Concorde, and tagging a U2...
Good job the fuel load was Top Secret, eh?

Shssss ... don't mention that word that's not be mentioned about the fuel ... WHOOP'S

..... and the stories chasing Vulcan's in mock combat

However ... all is not perfect.

It could be my install perhaps but....

1) I cant persuade the pilot to leave the cockpit (using the manual's suggested Shift/e+2)
2) From external view, stbd aileron deflection is half that of port aileron. Appears to be a visual issue only since no discernible effect on roll rate.
3) Reheat effect shows with throttles fully advanced - wait for it...... even when tanks are dry and we are in glider mode!!!
4) Engine noise in external view persists despite cold and dark vc

Anyone else observe this?

I'll check on the other bugs - but I can certainly confirm the reheat. My default start is generally cold and dark ... so when I jumped into it the very first time, there it was ... no engines, electrics or anything ... but afterburner on 100%

. To be honest, I think it was just the *effect* as I certainly could take off. I'd have thought a real Lightning at 100% reheat would burn straight through/past the parking brake and end up at 20,000ft in 30 seconds anyway!

I hate to be disloyal, as I've won a couple of J/F prizes (and bought many of their recent releases anyway) but their standards do appear to be dropping a tiny bit :-(
