Short Sunderland

[Ian Warren]

Can anyone pick out the errors ! .... look at them depth charges , drop one off them you would blow an entire U-boat Wolf-pack otta the water

From the VC it appear, s to be in the correct position ? NO ITS NOT ! the wings sits on top and were is the float ?







Many other issue, s - at $50NZ and was on special i hope FCS come to the party .

Jeepers, whats that thing made of - looks like its been riveted together out of boiler plate by a bunch of blind men!!

Haha I like it! A bit rough, but awesome

[Splitpin]

Comes with a FS9 model , very unprofessional , the box cover has been doctored , no research done here

[AndrewJamez]

I checked out there website which says "Take to the skies in the most authentic Sunderland ever to fly in Flight Simulator" - translation - ( the only sunderland ever made for FSX ). And another statement that says "The package includes a lavishly recreated simulation of the Sunderland MK III" - Translation - created buy a sheet metal worker on P.
Check out the video and listen to the awsome in cockpit engine sounds that sound like one of the radials has thrown a rod.
!!And allso for the first time ever but on a completely different note, FCS's great new Farming Simulator 2011!!! If you could ever find something to simulate that bought in less revenue than flight simming then this must be it. And whats more of an insult is that abrieviated it reads "FS2011"

Funny you mention a MkIII , same model released as a MkV , certainly a quick upgrade , must be the special

[Splitpin]

FCS?....normally their stuff is pretty good...ie , Wellington, and Hurricane....havent we all become connoisseurs, but with good reason. Look at the quality that Deane is giving away....and some of the cr@p, that these people think we will buy.

Even some of the freeware is just awful....but then it is free, and therefore unfairly dismissed.....i know , speaking for myself, if it looks right I'll give it a go...despite reviews about odd dynamics etc...but that Sunderland....thats just sad.

Thanks Ian for spoiling my Saturday (haha) I have now settled down - well a little. That would have to be the most offensive model of a beautiful aircraft that I have ever seen.
I didn't realise that there was a Sunderland available for the Commodore 64 SubLogic Flight Simulator that could be ported over to the PC. (showing my age)
I hope that Adrian doesn't see it - it will certainly spoil his day but I must say that I did laugh at some of the comments, to quote "created by a sheet metal worker on P", "whats it made of" looks like concrete blocks" and "looks like its been riveted together out of boiler plate by a bunch of blind men".
The last comment is really illustrated in Ian's 5th pic - I assume the 'riveted boilerplate patch ' is supposed to represent the Beam Hatch that we used to open for visual searches, enjoying the sun on a transit flight or mounting a Browning .5inch gun on both sides for gunnery practice.

Whew - that's a little better - only a little!!!!

I'm constantly amazed at the things people will try to sell, when you can probably find a freeware version that is better Ian, you are such a good guinea pig to have around, trying all these things and saving others from making the same mistake

[Rotordude]

Looks like Isambard Brunel and J Scott Russell's next project after they finished SS Great Eastern.

I wonder how much coal she burns on a flight.

[chopper_nut]

That looks really wierd, the proportions arnt right aye.

[Adrian Brausch]

I have to say it looks like a complete and utter pile of shite,..dissapointed to say the least

[Ian Warren]

Now they really are pulling my leg here .. this is shoddy , Like a R18 horror movie

Good sake s Norm , i no you were RNZAF crew on these don't any more .. please

And Please Adrian , dont show your dad either !

look how smooth the hull blends in .....

Now look at the view , cracker

[Naki]

Looks like a very old and badly put together Matchbox kit with the deep groove lines and massive rivets!

Lump and bumps all outta scale , funny how they dressed up the packaging , Alister said it , i am the guinea pig , captain off the Great Eastern and that even looked better than this thing .

Everything said above , wont show any screens , maybe photos of what it should look like

[Dontcopy]

Ahhh take back what I said before, I think you should ask for a refund.

[Splitpin]

And this is free.....
Ok , its not a sunderland .....

Even the task off putting the markings on , they are oval , the lumps and bump and protruding shapes in the hull , engine not properly place , dihedral from the fuselage and look at that last screen how one side is completely different to the other and course looking head on , it was a slab sided hull .

I have sent mail away asking for fix's and if not refund with paying for the freight .
