Almost as good as Andy's.

That is good stuff. I have a significant limitation in not being able to put my models into a natural environment.

have you ever looked at trying to export them to one of the simulator environments?

Haven't.

 

[redriver6]

Haven't.

it may be possible....even if you just did it for backgrounds or to show the boats in the water...etc...

I built a number of aircraft for FlightSim, back in the last century, but that was with an entirely different software setup. If I got into that again, I can easily see getting consumed by it.

really???

which ones??.....i used to be heavy into flight sims...but got a little burned out..

 

[Mark F. Jenkins]

Me too. I got heavily into it in (I think it was) version 4, and then drifted out... then back in with Century of Flight and then back out again.

i still get into some 'Pacific Fighters' (IL2 1946) every now and then

Now that's funny. I loved playing the original "IL-2 Sturmovik" back in 2002.

It has been updated, expanded and modded over the years...it is one of the few flight sims i still play occasionally..

Mostly WWI aircraft from the FS5/FS98 era. Other users adapted, retextured, updated with other features and for later sims. They're still out there in the ether on places like FlightSim-dot-com.

ah....i was probably one of em..

you have heard of Rise of Flight...i reckon??

sorry to veer so far off topic..

 

[AndyHall]

Rise of Flight is really magnificent, but my hardware is borderline to be able to run it at a workable FPS. Haven't played it in a while, but it's the ultimate treatment of the subject.

 

[Mark F. Jenkins]

Did you check out the 'historic' aircraft in "Century of Flight"? I actually got the Wright Flyer up high enough to clear a house once.

Sorry Gents, but what has all this got to do with CSS Jackson - or the Civil War?

 

[Mark F. Jenkins]

Not much. We tend to wander off-course.

 

[rebelatsea]

Popovkas !! they don't have much to do with the war, but they wandered off course.
