For those interested in what this is all about...

The flight model has been totally rebuilt using the latest methodology.
Maximum angle of attack, flight envelope, stall speeds, control feel throughout speed range, load limits etc.

The FM uses the same RR Merlin powerplant as will feature on the forthcoming the Mosquito BIV, NFII and the Hurricaine II series flight models.

For those interested in some numbers.. here are some test flight results.

Hi guys,

There is a bug fix coming for the newly released Lancasters.
Unfortunately they are both about 3000 lbs overweight at the moment due to gunner ammo weight not being factored in.

the climb performance will be slightly affected in the meantime.
