I was lucky enough to see the 74 Tiger on static, but it was suspended from a crane showing peeps how they recover them from wheel's up landing ? I think it was Abingdon ???

Great work on the Tiger Scheme John. I've only seen pictures of it in my various Phantom books and on the British Phantom Aviation Group FB page.

Wattisham and the Phantom packages (FS9 and FSX for both) will be ready for beta testing this week - just the documentation to finish off and the zip assembly. Here's the latest screen shots:

We have 4 FSX testers but only 1 FS9. Would anyone like to volunteer please? If so please drop me a PM with your e-mail address and your preferred test version.

I've just sent the temporary download links for the Beta test scenery and AI packs to the people who have offered to help. Please let me know if you were expecting them but haven't received them.

Many thanks for the offers of help with the testing.

Nearly at the end of the Wattisham Beta testing and most of the changes have now been incorporated.

Thought you might be interested in this. The new SODE (Sim Object Display Engine) version allows sound to be associated with FSX scenery animation. Here it is applied to the QRA shed doors and is initiated with a user key press panel. The Phantom on the left is user-flyable and the one on the right is AI. Make sure your sound is turned on:

Unfortunately the doors cannot be timed to coincide with two AI Phantoms operating, so the default state is doors open, unless closed on the user panel.

All down to my co-developer Stevo.

Don't know if John has already mentioned it, but just so hopes arent raised for FS9, those Animated QRA doors are in FSX only, fs9 is doors permanently open for now.....

I'm pleased to say that the Wattisham scenery and AI packs were uploaded to Avsim early this morning - hopefully in time for their appearance later today.

The files are called:

FS9:
ACG_RAF_Wattisham_1991_FS9_1.zip

ACG_Wattisham_AI_Phantoms_FS9_1.zip

FSX:
ACG_RAF_Wattisham_1991_FSX_1.zip

ACG_Wattisham_AI_Phantoms_FSX_1.zip

We would just like to say a big thank you to our team of 10 Beta Testers who did a great, eagle-eyed, job of examining everything and giving us additional scope to refine the scenery and AI.

So Phinally, a Wattisham Phantom Phinale:

The tiger scheme never flew, but hey, what the heck.

Great scenery John. I just finished installing it and watching the QRA Birds scramble. :D

Reminds me of back in the day when we had 4 VT ANG F-102A "Deuces" on alert 24/7 in our old alert barns here at Burlington IAP. It used to get our blood pumping when that red scramble phone rang in the Combat Alert Center. :shock: :lol:
