Hello guys and gals 🙂
Can anyone help me out please? I am seeking a photograph or similar, of a 212 Squadron Catalina (does not need to be a specific aircraft), plus a clear, colour image of 212 Squadron’s badge. The primary thing I am seeking here is pictorial evidence of the markings worn by the aircraft of 212 Squadron.
Many thanks in advance 🙂
Becka
P.S. It is for a friend of a colleague who is making a model of a 212 Squadron Cat for his elderly father who served with the Squadron out in the Far East

Hi Simon,
I think you’ll find the info you require on this archived thread from the old RAF Commands website

Some good installation tutorials on the Simviation site.

Hi,
Right
Aircraft: Unzip the file then choose the aircraft file that contains the Panel, Model etc… If there is folder after folder before you get to the Model, Panel etc then chose the file before you get to that choose Move Selected Files. Choose Local Disk then Program Files them Microsoft Games Microsoft Flight Simulator or something like that the Aircraft. Plonk the file with the Model, Texture, Panel and Sound in there. If like the IFDG planes the planes come with Effects folders then plonk the contenets of the effects folder in the Main effects folder in the FS9 folder.
As I on a cousins laptop 😎 I don’t have my FS so I cannot explain the scenery. If no one else has stepped in by Sunday evening I will write a guide for scenery.
Sorry I don’t know of any good site for historical planes apart from flightsim.com or avsim.com. www.historicjetlinersgroup.com do old airliners but military beats me :confused:

Yes, weight is a big factor in more than the obvious ways. Things such as antiskid become an item of weightless software rather than a big heavy mechanical device so it’s not just the weight of the fluid you are saving but also the associated ancillaries. Wiggly amps also never need topping up, bleeding or replacing, etc. Also no fluid to leak, overheat, get contaminated,etc.

Also it’s lighter.
About the leaks point… not only that, but the hydraulic fluid may become contaminated, and if the filter becomes unservicable, the system loses effectiveness, or can fail completely due to blockages, but this is unlikely in any case!

I’m sure it’ll also help cut down problems with Hydraulic systems, as in leaks.
By: Hand87_5 - 22nd April 2004 at 08:12
Sounds like cost effective.
It’s cheaper to install a wire than an hydraulic line.
It’s easier and cheaper to control with a computer an electric engine than a valve or a pump.
