Nice work and thank you for this package. I have no major problems, however I would point out a rather minor issue -- the use of special letters/charactors like o with the 2 dots above it (sorry, I don't know the proper name of this letter) in names of waypoints, etc creates problems with my database of airports. For instance, changing the spelling to read "Oberosterreich" is what I have to do in order to resolve this.

Let me say that I realize for somebody that lives in Europe this is incorrect and perhaps offensive, and maybe impossible to do, as YOUR version of windows accomodates the correct spelling. I have also lived many years abroad, so I get it. So I'll just make this note, in case any others notice something amiss. I had problems updating the airport database for FSX Mission Editor -- not just with this package but also with some Italian airports (non-MAIW). All I had to do was use ADE to edit the names, once I figured out which ones they were -- at least that seems to be working so far.

Again, I do not expect the designers to accomodate every known language on the planet -- I just throw this out for others, who might have a similar problem.

thanks a lot for your fine packages!

just a question: Nick Black's Eurofighters are nearly 6m high (instead of 5.28m)
So some sceneries have problems with hangars of 5.5m height.

(I tried to contact Nick by PM twice, but I got no answer)

regards

Nick, has retired from FS modelling a number of years ago, I doubt you will get hold of him anymore.

I thought he visited the forum some days ago.

But it looks like it was another Nick

Hi Guenther,
When Nick left he kindly let some people have access to his source files. At the moment though it doesn't seem that anybody has taken to updating his Typhoon source. I guess we will have to wait until somebody gets the time or inclination to upgrade it.

I made a start on it but it needed more work than I was willing to put into it.

thanks anyway...

it is not so easy to shrink an Eurofighter, there is no way to wash it to hot like socks.

:mrgreen:

I knew for this when I made objects for scenery so that is the reason why some hangers are a bit higher than they should be.
