John Young's Warbird Collection

[delbydoo]

Mr. Young has released his warbird collection, consisting of Spitfire (4 marks including a two-seater), Lancaster, B-17, P-51, Hurricane, Tiger Moth, Dakota, P-47 (razorback only), Dragon Rapide, Harvard and F-86 aircraft, complete with layered paint kits over at flightsim.com - the historical value of these alone is beyond the wildest and thank him for these priceless aircraft; airshows abound!! I believe there is some scenery of Bassingbourn - seeing that filled with a whole group of B-17's could be interesting.......
Cheers John

Thanks for the heads up Daryl

Yum yum yum!

Not yet downloaded, but it seems that these are the same aircraft of the Duxford scenery.

They are indeed the same ones, but released as separates for the use of......

I wonder if there is going to be a WW2 craze now? I hope so .

Great idea! Maybe we can reopen every WWII airfield in Great Britain, load them with tens of thousands of aircraft, and see if we can get the island
to sink Of course, the sim may crash well before that!

I was wrong.
There are "The Few"

I already done one repaint for one of the planes

Hi again, I've posted the same screenshots on ACG forum and John ask me how to obtain nine aircraft flying togheter.

Here what I wrote him.

Hi John, I was already working on it.
You can see only 9, but the FP I've set up is for all 10, the last one is too much forward in the formation, so you

can't see it.
The FS9 Ai engine it's a nightmare and it does more or less what it wants, rather then what you say it to do....
BTW, in the past I've obtained quite good results, have a look here at MAIW Forum (scroll down to see all images):
http://www.militaryaiworks.com/newforum ... +tricolori

How to obtain that?
Simple to do, not so simple to explain.

Starting from the center of the runway of your Duxford scenery, I've created a new AFCAD with a runway of 160Km in

lenght. This is just to have reference points.
At the end of both sides, I have placed many parking spots in the position to create a formation. May be, the

following image clarifies what I mean:

These are on the South-West end of the runway, at the opposite side (N-E) you'll have a specular image, so specular

parking spots.

The reference point of every parking spot (Lat/long,height) have been put in the flightplan.txt as waypoint

reference.

Now, you have to setup a flightplan that make an aircraft flying between one S-W waypoint and its specular waypoint

at N-E side.

This type of positioning, teorically can make you able to create the formation that you prefer, Arrow-nine formation

or five aircrat crossing four as per Frecce screenshots, or this nice Tornado Diamond-nine.

As I said, teorically. It's quite simple to have a lot of aircraft for a fly pass, to have the aircraft flying in

formation, it's another story, depending by precise timing of the flightplan and the precise positioning of the

waypoints.

Hope this helps.

Maybe we can reopen every WWII airfield in Great Britain

That would take some doing, after all, I think at their peak a whole percent of the UK landmass was airfield...

How do you think Lincolnshire got most if its current (knackered) road infrastructure? Could never figure why I was driving in circles around Metheringham all day!

@Giorgio.....those are nice shots mate, all in formation - as you say there is no EASY way to do it, whether you choose to use that system or the camera system......but just goes to show that a little hard work usually pays off

What is it with Brits, we always find the problem!
