Project Lancaster

[Slippa]

I’d happily fly a box kite as long as the Lanc’s about. 

In a few days (Friday 1st Dec) this thread will have its second birthday. That’s less than 2 weeks away. Just saying

After seeing the video posted by Saguanay I sat through the one that followed. Jack Curry DFC gives us a little background and a walk around the Lanc.

i’ll never be able to look at the mid-upper turret without remembering the little Welsh fellas story, not one you’d imagine. We do get a few tips on startup procedure though, well worth a watch. Jack flew Mossies too. Also worth a watch is ‘The Watchtower’ (East Kirkby)

Such a Beauty. This will be such an amazing boost for WWII in DCS. I really hope this one day will become an official module that campaign builders like @Reflected can one day create a suitable campaign to it

With radar equipped 88’s a night fighter opposition I can be entertained for years with this

Holy smoke, that would be a blast.

And of course a Germany expansion on the map for veeeeery nice long missions

[Tonker]

...and then another 32 excellent in-depth systems, procedures and general interest videos. Enjoy

I'm sure you lovely lot are ahead of me, but I've finally got round to this episode:

and was immediately put in mind of @Reflected's genius bit of mission design to give us:

Trying not to get too excited too soon, but the options for the Lanc are genuinely game-changing. Nothing we have in sim will be able offer a remotely comparable experience if the community gets behind the project with missions, supporting scripts etc.

Woop woop!

Merry Christmas @Scoobyon, and to all us wannabe Bomber Boys

When you wish upon a star
you may Av-ro lancaster
Anything AOC desires may come to you.

If your heart is in your dream,
Open Beta or on Steam,
When you wish a Lancaster
As dreamers do...

Tonker

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
Taxi lane, snow is glistening,
The dream of a flight, off into the night,
Dreaming of the Avro Lancaster.

Merry Christmas Tonker and to Scoobs and all the team and supporters/Pilots under wishful thinking. Have a good one.

impressive it seems that this mod is on par to potentially become an official module

[Komet_82]

The landing gear looks impressive, thanks for sharing.

And all the best for the new year. Thanks for all your efforts you put into this

[Slippa]

I can almost smell the tyres and hear the skid. More bounce to the ounce. 

Extra rations all round and a wee dram for Loki then. Looking superb, keep up the good work and have a happy new year all. 

[BrianTheBrain]

At least Loki can land it, last I tried I was still having a hard time Happy new year peoples

A wee dram for Brian too then. Pre landing, just for a loosener.

Amazing ! Used to know a guy who was a navigator on one of these. He would have loved to see this.

 

[dali]

thank you for taking time and effort for this video presentation. And Lanc of course

[Slippa]

Thanks for the update and doesn’t she just look beautiful. All the work you’re all putting into it’s much appreciated. 

All those rivets eh? Well worth the effort. Did I mention it looking pretty good? Loving the interior, the exterior, the underside, topside, all o that . We’re gonna have our work cut out learning all the bits and bobs in there and I for one can’t wait.

Amazing job. Straight ahead, steady as she goes 

Thanks and happy new year all.

[t_hedlund]

amazing work, love seeing it grace the digital skies...

I've had enough of rivets for abit so will be modelling new stuff to play with, 36,000 rivets roughly is enough for anyone

[Tonker]

Never mind rivets on the outside - what about the stud and nuts on the inside?!

Seasonal dynamic bugsplatters or I'm not buying...
