Hey . . . enjoy . . Skunk works makes a mean P200 and I was just enjoying it today myself over Marham UK. Be sure to set some low weather just at sunrise and enjoy the scenery popping up all over. Their weapons implementation is very nice too . . I did some of the bomb effects.

.... Absolutely .... -in my old age, too claustrophobic and motion-sick and cranky to do the real thing.... and it's cheaper this way .......

Yes and mainly to assure ground clearance on high speed ow level flight in bad weather and/or at night

Yes it's very realistic I think . . good enough for an old air force pilot like me. YOu need to look up VAAFSE or Skunkworks . I'ts still available I think bout 30 Euro. They are based in Italy

Yes you are right about who makes them. I was referring to SimSkunkWorks, the guys who built this P3D FSX simulator model. Bunch of really talented artists and programmers who make high fidelity flight models and simulate the flight characteristics and the mission parameters quite accurately. Really puts you in the moment when you fly a full mission with a dozen other sim drivers going same way same day! I highly recommend any of the sim aircraft they have produced. www.simskunkworks.com/store/index.php

Hey Gary . . you might like this one as well vimeo.com/313666698

I'll give you the short version of an OCU on PA200 if you like . . . Like I said contact me on skype . . glad to help

Sure . . I have the same set still except WIN7 then now I use WIN 10 64bit. The key thing with running PA200 is it needs to be SimSkunkworks . . the other guy's version is a "frame killer" I have 4ghz Intel 7340K?? not sure that's right.I run 3x27" flat screens from a GTX980. I use 1gig SSD hard drive and the 64bit version of the SSW Tornado is now 64bit . . and that makes all the difference in frame rate (64bit)

David Cooke thanks, David.

It's been a while since I did that but I think the best way to describe in on KZfaq with the real guys . . there is a small airport on the coast you can follow the video from. Sorry but I'm traveling next few days and wil have to give you a better answer later in the week . . . thanks for writing

I took off from a small strip on the west coast of wales called Llanbedr RAR (EGOD) . . go southeast along the coast and turn inland at the start of the route and follow the commentary. The site machloop.co.uk/ has some nice video but the route is very non specific. I fly the actual RAF route. . . this is pretty much the official route www.fs2000.org/2016/01/04/fsxp3d-machloop-flight-plans/ Have fun and be sure to use the 64bit PA200 model from Sim Skunk Works. Others I've seen are real frame grabbers and not as much fun as when the scenery is really smooth. Also recommend getting some Photo real Scenery of west wales and some weather to really enjoy the experience. Dave

It's just Prepar3D Flight Sim v3.4 or 4. Flying with the VAAFSE Virtual Allied Air Force Southern Europe a few years ago . . Great Guys! . . lots of challenging fun

Yes I use it all the time, It's quite fully implemented and the basic nav functions are essential for any mission. Using vACMI (skunkworks weapons function) you can program and edit up to 15 or more waypoints, IP and TGT with ALT, GS for 3 targets. Give it a TGT ID and Type. Then you bring up the mission in TV-TAB and off you go. Very realistic mission planning ans execution. Like having a GIB (Guy in Back). I think they plan to fully program the back seat weapons functions someday but it;s all there if you move your eyepoint back about 8-10 feet from the front cockpit

I have i7 4770 4ghz with 980Geforce and with the SimSkunkworks tornado I get a solid 30fps even in multiplayer. Mind you that's after P3D 3.4 which made many changes to scene generation, lighting and other things. . . be ever v 2.5 was maybe 24fps or better most of the time

I did buy it and I do get good frame rates, still having problems with flight plans and haven't downloaded python for the moving map yet, very happy with it overall though

This is Lockheed Martin P3D but with a Panavia200 bird developed by SimSkunkWorks out of Italy . . they make some of the best and most accurate flight models available and particularly the P200. www.simskunkworks.com/wp/

It’s Lockheed Martin Prepar3D student version $59 usd I think… but the video had weather and scenery addons like REX skyforce and soft clouds etc

it should be www.vaafse . . not vaavse . . . Send a message to info@simskunkworks.com or boss@ and you should get a message back . . they are still active fir sure, and always happy to have new pilots

Just checked and you are right the site is down . . not sure why but will check it out and let you know what;s up

Thanks for the respons. I have an account on SSW but i was using FSX steam, so i waited untill i got P3D before purchasing the SSW Tornado, because it looks to me it's an amazing peace of work. Like i said: the Just Flight version is not that good on FPS and when you turn on the terrain following mode, the plane starts to jump up and down all the time. Just looks ridiculous

Looks like they have recently moved the server and forum. It says on their facebook page it is just "Maintenance" try contacting them here for now facebook.com/Sim-Skunk-Works-1395203754116505/

Just got an email saying "ALL VAAFSE MEMBERS SHOULD REGISTER TO THE NEW VAAFSE FORUM VISITING: vaafse.homelinux.org/vaafse.forum/ AND INITIATING A REGISTERING PROCEDURE. WILL BE EMAILED WHEN THEIR ACCOUNT WILL BE ACTIVE. SOON OLD FORUM WILL SET AS INACTIVE"
