does anyone know if there is a good AI English electric lightning model out?

Rumour has it that there is one in a very advanced LOD1 stage, however it is 2nd in line at the moment behind another classic.

Everything is done here.

Just on kind of a retro kick at the moment - one caveat
There must still be flying examples.

All updates will be posted here.

It might work, John, but Nick didn't bite when I used that argument for a Buccaneer

It would be a challenge for the flight dynamics guru to recreate a vertical climb off the runway!

DaleRFU · Post by **DaleRFU** » 18 Jul 2009, 13:10

ye it would but it would be unreal if they did that everytime i suppose. but would be interesting to see

Alphasim had one AI model in one of there Lightning packages......

@Hank,
Which pack and which versions did they have?
Also do you know how AI it really was (poly count)?

@BLACKCAT
Unfortunately the AI engine doesn't allow you to choose vertical departure, so to give it the performance that would enable that climb rate would make the aircraft so unrealistic.

if it wouldnt be very realistic then theres not reali much point in doing it in that way i supose.
it would be a truly spectacular site to see on the sim with me and my father having a particular sft spot fr the lightning. i sure there are uknown amounts of people like that with a certain aircraft.

Firebird · Post by **Firebird** » 25 Jul 2009, 12:41

There are a lot of people that like retro stuff.

DaleRFU · Post by **DaleRFU** » 25 Jul 2009, 14:16

true, the last totally british built aircraft. we know how to build jets

Firebird · Post by **Firebird** » 25 Jul 2009, 15:45

That maybe true, trouble is we can't bl**dy sell them!

There is an AI Lightning included in the UKMIL Sculthorpe V2 package.

That has not been made available though, has it?
