Project Lancaster

[Slippa]

Nice one, tidy as ever, well done .

I daren’t ask for my Lanc yet, I’m sure there’s still work to be done and I don’t wanna push my luck . 

Keep it up.

So at the moment we have just updated our whole physics model and the way it works, instead of using wing moments it now changes the angle of the chord of the wing which produces a more realistic set of flight characteristics and makes the adverse yaw feel less artificial, it also allows for more realistic wing stalls. Still needs testing and tuning but it feels like a Lancaster to me

Somehow they went awol.  

[Slippa]

Yeah, I can't see the pics on my computer or an iPad either. Now I'm sulking with Max

I'll fire off a letter to Mr Internet right away, something's gotta be done about this unholy mess. Or perhaps it'll be fine soon, so no worries. 

... But wouldn't a video be nice? ... Who wants to see the wing stall judder? Yep, me too. Who wants to see landing trials? Yep  Where's Brains? Where's Loki and Scooby? Yeah, thinking about it, we could usurp any letters to Mr Internet and just post a video, little bit of judder, some rippling tea (or coffee) have a bit of a walk around, peek at the tractor?

Ok, I'm calm, it's all gonna be fine, I'll get a cuppa.

On a serious note, sounds like a lot of changes happening, must be getting better. Work those fingers lads... Hold on, are these missing pictures a subliminal ad campaign by FuriousVoid? That we'd be furious about the 'picture void' and bang the drums of excitement so much that a Manchester as well as the Lanc just turned up in our hangars? No, maybe not. Ok, I'm calm, it's all good, I'll take some tablets and have a nice nap.

But for now, I'll wonder what those pictures were. And so will Max.

Maybe its a discord thing, I upload the photos to discord then insert the link to the photos so I can upload 4K screenshots and stuff larger than 55kb, Ill try again

[Tinman]

If that picture is not worth posting twice, I don't know what is

[Slippa]

Aha, I can see that one . 

Nice.

[Scoobyon]

First attempt at a gif, let me know how it is your ends

[Slippa]

Yep, all good on the iPad at least.

Uh oh!

 

FWIW all image links, including GIF now kaput. Android phone. They were working when first posted (Windows PC, Chrome).

 

Per ardua...

[Scoobyon]

wow how strange. No idea why thats happening

[Slippa]

Nothing else for it, you’ll have to start the riveting all over again .

You better! I was counting on you!

I was counting rivets .

I’m seeing, or not seeing different results with the iPad as I am with the Desktop. Neither are as they should be when it comes to images. This thread has pics missing all over it where they were fine before. Some other threads have pics or whatnot missing. Not sure if it’s something with the forum, file hosts or my stuff but there it is.

Time for a cuppa

I think I've just run into this picture thing? I can only upload 2.41mbs now apparently. Not sure how I should be upping pics on the forum really but maybe this is why the Lanc pics are gone?

Might be time for that landing competition video? (any excuse eh)

I was dreaming about a B17 module with IA in all place and be able to switch from place to other as microprose B17 game..

But your Lancaster may be a fantastic project , i will follow it closely

[Scoobyon]

Ive asked NL about the image attachments, ill give it another try now.

[Slippa]

That’s better, for me at least.

Better test it thoroughly though .

Cheers for the clip Brian, nice to see her flying . Keep up the good work all.

This pictures thing is odd from here. I get different results with different devices. We need our fix of eye candy sit-reps don't we.

I'm gonna go watch that again, burn some green lines into my retinas .
