Very nice JK.

This aircraft is quietly driving me to despair, grin. Why? I actually wanted to fly it from Lydd to Lands End, always along the Channel coast. With “cold and dark,” everything went like clockwork until I tried to close the fuselage door at the rear on the right-hand side. The click spot didn't do what it was supposed to do, but surprised me.
I had “cranked” the bomb bay, but failed with the door. I'm sure I made a mistake and would be happy to hear how to do it correctly. On the outside, the model is great and has its own atmosphere. Inside, more functionality and better textures, especially on the instruments and maintenance instructions, would be desirable, but it is still a remarkable aircraft. One cannot thank the freeware authors enough for such gems.

It does look good with just a little less shine, now.
The undercarriage got me: I mean I understand it was 1936 and all, but I let the gear down halfway in the downwind at Ardmore, and it barely extended by the time I had turned and crossed the threshold!
I am looking for a louder external soundset.
It is definitely a LOUD aeroplane.

less shine, I hear you!
This is the version I uploaded on fs.2

If you prefer this shine, just copy the included comp files to the main Anson texture folder.

And the gear is indeed sloooooow, first time I thought it malfunctioned

Well, cranking it up by hand, as was also done with the Grumman F-4F Wildcat or the Soviet Polikarpov I 153 and I-16 fighters, must have been an exhausting and dangerous task. Flying the plane and cranking it at the same time? And then cranking it down before landing or letting it fall by gravity and snap into place... thrilling...

That works very nicely, thank you.
