OK, boys and girls, the time has finally arrived. Here, even before the PR hits the front pages, is a special sneak preview of our upcoming project, just for our loyal customers - and other assorted forum lurkers ;-) One last riddle: What's big, blue, handles like a school bus full of footballers and was affectionately known as "The Turkey"?Check out the MAAM-SIM News page for the answer and all the gen. http://www.maam.org/flightsim/news/NEWS.htmLet the games begin! :-yellow1 :-yellow1 :-yellow1 :-yellow1 :-yellow1 :-yellow1 :-yellow1Bill Rambow MAAM-SIM - Rambow, Visser, Banting, Young, Womack, Sodja & Beaumonthttp://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/maamsim_logo2.gif

Ugggh, that's one ugly looking aircraft!!Can't wait to crank her up! Nice one MAAM peeps!Sir John (lurking...) :-sword

Sweeeeet!!!!

Oh, and I have to add that I'm absolutely thrilled that you've chosen to model a single! She'll definately fill a niche here at home when she's done. Hope this one's an absolute pig to fly! Work your magic Rob!Sir John (flitting in and out...) :-sword

NICE! I'll be getting this one for sure! MAAMSIM, any chance the next one could be the Neptune? ;)

Hi Erik,Never can tell. We really don;t think that far ahead. ;-)Bill Rambow MAAM-SIM - Rambow, Visser, Banting, Young, Womack, Sodja & Beaumonthttp://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/maamsim_logo2.gif

SU-WEET!! Can't wait to add that one to my hangar. I saw one of those last summer at the local airshow "Gathering of Warbirds" put on by the Olympic Flight Museum in Olympia, Washington. Very impressive bird!

Oh no Bill,I've just finished the BT translation, do you mean there is another one to go ???:) Congrats to the whole team!Best regards,Francois

Congratulations! It will only need to be half as good as your previous efforts to be a stunner!You release it - I'll buy it! Regards and Good luck! Blue

Oh yes! And not only did the Avenger see service with the French Navy, so did the carrier we are producing...http://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/laf.jpgFrench Aircraft Carrier La Fayette (formerly USS Langley, CVL-27) Prepares to Launch a French Navy TBM-3E "Avenger" (USN Bureau # 85684) from her starboard catapult, during the 1950s.I guess you'll have to translate an aircraft carrier manual, too! ;)Bill Rambow MAAM-SIM - Rambow, Visser, Banting, Young, Womack, Sodja & Beaumonthttp://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/maamsim_logo2.gif

Wonderful news !Will you be working on something that makes it disappear if flown into the Bermuda Triangle ?Best wishes,Alastair

I'll have to start making room in my hangar for this great bird! Looking good already. Can hardly wait.

That's the same problem MAAM is up against. When the Turkey settled into the hangar, things got even more squeezed together in our hangar than had previously been the case.http://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/hangar.jpgThis summer, the P-61 will come out of the back shop which is not large enough to accomodate her once the inner wings are attached.http://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/p61_shop.jpgShe is scheduled to be on her landing gear and out on the ramp during WWII Weekend and then we have to find a space for her on our compound where the restration can continue and visitors can still view her. Anyone want to donate I nice steel buiding for the purpose? Bill Rambow MAAM-SIM - Rambow, Visser, Banting, Young, Womack, Sodja & Beaumonthttp://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/maamsim_logo2.gif

I'm glad my hangar is only a virtual one! I hope you find more space soon.

O MY GOODNESS!!! I can't begin to tell you how much this excites me. I am an avid warbird lover. Warbirds are basically all that I fly in FS 2004. When I posted here a while back asking what your next project was going to be, I had no idea it was going to be an Avenger. I am currently reading the book "Flyboys" and am now very much looking foward to actually flying an Avenger. I'll be sure to keep an eye open for this to be released. I almost wish that I hadn't seen this post because now I will be busting a gut until it is ready. :)Thanks,Hawk
