A while ago I wanted to see if I could change Rick Piper's great Vickers Viscount into an AI plane.
The present Viscounts that are included in the CalClassic AI packages are very good and I love the great variety of different liveries but thought, "those planes would even look better if they had Rick's model..."
So I had a go at the -800 and started to modify it and I thought it was turning out pretty good.
Rick Piper was asked for permission for the conversion of his Viscount models and he graciously gave the go ahead. Thank you very much Mr. Piper !
Still a WIP but nearly finished here are a few snap shots of the HQ AI Viscount 800.
The parked plane has an airstair and through the opened passenger door the fwd interior is visible.
During taxiing the nose wheel steers into the curves.
Prior to tuning onto the runway the flaps drop into position.
The landing lights are lit before take off (thanks Tom)
The original texture files are used together with some new ones.
There are still a few tweaks necessary but when the Viscount 800 is ready it can be used as a HQ AI plane.
Available here on CalClassic.
Yes, the -700 is also on the list and already being converted....
Hope you will like it.
Cheers,
Jaap
