FS2004 Pro Vickers Viscount 812 (will work in fs2002 as well)

Rick Pipers superb Vickers Viscount 812
Alidair a Scotish Airline Founded in 1972, it was renamed Inter City Airlines in March 1982

To Install just unzip the file to your aircraft folder in fs2004, everything else will be done for you. I have aliased the panel and sound to the Kingair, however this is only to get you up and running please visit Rick Pipers web site where you can get more Viscounts than you can shake a stick at plus a panel and sounds!! The file sizes were too big for this file plus I think YOU SHOULD visit his brilliant web site and see what superb classic creations he has done for FS.

I have done nothing to the model or any other files on this aircraft except paint her.
Hope you like her and if not just dump her from your hard drive :O)

best wishes to all and any comments please mail me Tony Madge tonymadge@yahoo.com


UPDATE 28 AUG 2004..NEW NITE BMPS REDUCE FILE SIZE PLUS SHUT ENGINES DOWN AND SEE THE AIRSTAIRS AT THE OPEN FRONT CABIN DOOR

RICKS WORDS...

I have decided to model just one Ariel configuration,
as just about every 800 series Viscount has a different arangement of antenna positions (802 modeled).
if I make every set of layouts I will have about 15 seperate models for you to download & I don't have the space to keep them.
Sorry to all you Anorak types (I love you really!).

Facts:
The Vickers Viscounts have no Prop Pitch Reverse. (use spoiler key to emulate Ground Pitch Fine (props act like 10 foot disk)
No Logo Lighting on Tail Fin. (Some may have).
No Strobes on any of the aircraft that I have visited (Some may have strobes).

Please note this aircraft model is a work-in-progress (I am never happy!).
and Must Not be uploaded anywhere on the Internet!! without my permission
If you want to repaint it, you must e mail me first.
a) So I can give permission.
b) So I know which livery your painting (so I don't paint it).
c) So that I can put your repaint on my Website (If it's good enough!!! only kidding.)

The Flight dynamics are Copyright (if you want to alter them, that is fine But you cannot upload it to the internet without my permission!)
I will give permission if you stick to the above rules.

New Textures (Multi Layer system for Paintshop Pro & Photoshop developed By Mr 'X' & Myself).
I cannot make the multi Layer Paintkit available (Mr 'X's condition which I must comply with) but he may change his mind ?.
if you want a livery painted using the paintkit , send your request to my e mail address & will see what I can do.

sorted black night parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at last!!!!!!!!
Fixed a lot of the problems reported by Beta crew & a few that I noticed.

Fixed Engine to wing joints & re-textured engines & wings. Tom Gibson.
Changed gear sequence.
Modified flap animation to stop hinges poking through top of wings. Tom Gibson.
Modified propanimation to stop "windmilling at cruise altitude".
Added correct flap angles to aircraft.cfg.
Lowered Wings about 6 inches (Real life) to make joines look right

The flight model is Improved (Thanks Gerry& Manny). I have slowed roll rate Quote from Viscount pilot "like driving a truck!" very slow roller.

Any parts that need to be modified/added/removed Please let me know ASAP.

Faults that I am aware of!!!
Slight problem with elevators showing wierd shading at tips (fix next time).
