It's back! Updated Scrapyard Monster V2

Postby Charl » Fri Oct 18, 2024 1:27 pm

Some might see this is an irrelevant intrusion into the world of deadly serious Flight Simulation...
I see it as a top grade bit of modelling, with many whimsical but clever features.
It has an addon camping box.
High flotation Michelin(!) tyres, in case you missed the detailed floatplane model.
Power to weight double that of a Spitfire.
And a Cosworth V12 engine from the Aston Martin Valkyrie, with screaming soundtrack to match.

Oh, and cunningly circumventing the MS Noweapons rule: A "Ballast" container which can be dropped with deadly accuracy!

Rumor has it that the deHavilland DHC-2 crowd has been heard making disparaging comments, such as "knock-off", "cheap imitation", and "stolen proprietary information".
Just jealous - they can't have the Cosworth sound.

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

It probably doesn’t come as any surprise but the first 2 sentences describe my take on it. Novel, but not something that I would bother downloading.
Nice pics though Charl.

Aaaaaahhhhh....yes, well it's certainly different.
I'd even go as far as saying that it is rather unique :D

But wait! There's More!

Did I mention the Neon striplighting?
Or the remarkable undercarriage on the seapane?

In the little clip below, observe with awe at around 1:17, the deployment mechanism of the landing gear!
