Shalom and greetings all my pals, Okay okay here are screenshots and my personal opinion review of payware First Class Simulations Lancaster. Installation was very easy and simple. There are two files. Singer manual sewing machine parts in rsa.
One model installation file dated 2012 contains installation of model and many liveries. The second file contains patch update dated 2010. I asked tech support of First Class Simulation if I could skip the update patch that has older date than the main installation file. I was surprised and pleased to receive the response from tech support within 24 hours via Facebook (24 hour due to time zone difference in different countries). They told me that I should install the patch regardless of the date because of automatic fail safe feature that will inform me automatically if the model base is already latest version and the patch is not necessary. So far, the patch installation went smooth too meaning it was necessary for my model.
The package comes with three manuals printed in PDF format. One explains history of the Lancaster. Second contains installation instructions. Third is the flying tutorial. The flying tutorial manual has SUPERB easy guide instructions on how to start engines with beautiful screenshot examples showing how to start engines to the point you would not need to go to YouTube to look for videos of instructions on how to start engines of Lancaster. However, strange enough, the three manuals make no mention of minimum runway distance for both take off and landing, no mention for cruising altitude and speed at different load conditions, no mention of climb rate per minute, no mention of descent rate per minute, and no mention of pitot tube or deice settings as well as how to set auto altitude. Makes me wonder how I can fly at altitude level?
You cannot expect me to use lame FSX default keyboard button command to hold altitude!!! The panel is superb with plenty of gauges. Although reading gauges' numbers and indicator needles are easy and clear to see, the panel is too dark and hard to read. I cannot read words on the panel and to figure out what knobs, buttons, and switches are, I have to hover my mouse indicator to each knob, switch, or button so that bubble window would appear informing me the name of knob, switch, or button which means time consuming for me and not ideal for flying. I have no problem seeing words on panels of DC-4s, DC-6s, DC-7s, C-46s, and all other heavy propellers but this Lancaster panel is too dark for me. Use flashlight on the computer screen to read words on knobs, switches, or buttons would not work.
I read in the manuals that First Class Simulation dim the brightness of the panel by 33 percent to enhance realism. I wish they had not done that. However the details of the panel are superb and extremely realistic. So the exterior appearance of Lancaster is too. Beautiful along with very realistic tires!!! The wings are superb and the propellers are very nice but the length of the body of the plane seems to be little short just like Captain Sims C-130 Hercules has too short body length. CalClassics DC-4, DC-6, and DC-7 have more realistic body length.
Maybe Lancaster's body length is supposed to look short or not. That is up to all of you to judge. Lancaster comes in only three window views for exterior of the plane which is disappointing BUT it does not take genuis or seasoned flight simmer to figure out how to add more window views to aircraft.cfg which I intend to do so because of my belief in beauty of screenshots. Fortunately, the window views of virtual cockpit are superb and cover whole thing.
I guess that First Class Simulations wants to make sure you have unlimited ability to look out for enemy interceptors from the pilot seat!!! The model package comes in about 7 or 8 liveries each with different weapon loads.
I wish they would include more famous liveries with many victory or mission decorations on the liveries for RAF. I am guessing there have to be more liveries somewhere on the internet to download. However, I do not see on three manuals some instructions for function for opening or closing bomb bay doors. Although I would not expect for 20 buck price tag a nice feature or function for droppable ordinance but I think it should feature opening and closing of bomb bay doors. Would I recommend First Class Simulations Lancaster? Of course yes.
I just hope I or anybody can figure out how to modify panel.cfg to brighten the panel so that I can read words on the panel. Is it doable or is it out of question as it is for programming genuises?
Bear in the mind that my review of this plane is result of my ground testing of the plane. I have not yet conducted take off test, flying test, fuel consumption rate realism test, and landing test.
What is interesting is that when I conduct ground test of the Lancaster plane in normal window view looking around the plane, everything looks great but when I am in locked window view looking at the plane, the ground or apron or runway or where ever the plane's wheels are resting on shakes little bit as if there is FSX default earthquake. Just the ground shaking little bit but not trees or buildings. Presenting screenshots of ground testing of Lancaster Regards, Aharon. Interesting write-up; thanks for sharing your impressions. I've considered picking this add-on up, as my grandfather flew in a Lancaster in WWII.
Just a few notes that may (or may not) help you in your enjoyment of this aircraft. There is the possibility of this aircraft not having any sort of autopilot, or altitude hold ability. I can't tell you for sure, but it is likely given the era of the aircraft. However, there is sure to be some sort of elevator trim available to you. You mention the default key commands, so simply look up what the key commands are for trim up and trim down in your settings, and if nothing is assigned, then assign a couple of keys for this. This will make it much easier to hold an altitude than constant elevator control.

Also, from what I gather, you're finding the virtual cockpit too dark. This is sure to be a setting of either a third party software you're running (SweetFX), or due to your monitor calibration. As far as I am aware, there is no possible way for the developer of an aircraft to control the brightness of the inside of a virtual cockpit during the daytime.

Jimmy, Glad to hear that you like my screenshots and my review. Actually, like I said before, I do not have third party software such as SweetFX and my monitor is on full brightness mode. I have no problems with all panels. Also the developer FirstClass Simulation actually said in its manual that they dimmed the panel brightness by 33 percent to enhance realism to meet flightsimmers' request.
Regards, Aharon.
Download 25.10 MB 78th Anniversary - Dambusters. Five DB Lancasters after breaching the Moehne Dam flew at tree top level to the Eder Dam in moonlight 17 May 1943. After breaching the Eder Dam the surviving crews flew back to Scampton via the Moehne dam at low level. This celebration allows you to witness the terrain over which they flew at tree top level in moonlight but without having to low fly the Lancaster.
The Lancaster used is the previously uploaded FS2004 Plane-Design AJG (December 2009), but retuned to fly as an AI. Once activated AJG flys the route in both directions at the same time. The two AJG's cross over, head to head, along the way. You can simply watch and ponder the terrain they flew over OR you can load up your favorite German fighter (109, 190 or maybe a 262) and go find this intruder.
Come up alongside AJG and acknowledge with a wave of the wings the skills these crews had to succeed. The package contains the AI Lancaster and two FSX airfield updates with coded parking spots and taxiways added to allow the AI to fly. Menden EDLA is provided in two forms - for use in the FSX default scenery and for use in the German West photo scenery. The other Airfield is Fritzlar Army.
A small German fighter display is included at each airfield to remind us all that we are flying in WW2 Germany. Operating details in the readme. The concept was used to film the four bombers in the RAF Station History of Linton-on-Ouse video.
A FSX package by Ross McLennan. 78th Anniversary - Dambusters. Thankyou for downloading the Dambuster celebration for the 78th Anniversary 17 May 2011.
The flight between the Moehne and Eder Dams and return was carried out in 1943 at tree top level in moonlight. No German fighters would attack the low flying Lancasters at tree top level.
At the altitude of this presentation, 2300 feet, they no doubt would have. The Plane-Design Lancaster AJG (ex my FS2004 upload for FS2004 in Dec 2009) has been re tuned as an Ai and will fly the straightline route at about 2300 feet passing to the south of the Moehne (Sorpe on your right) and over the Eder for a landing at the Fritzlar AB which was floaded in 1943 and prevented any Bf 109's from taking off. YOU DO NOT FLY THE LANCASTER, its a great Ai.
Because the Lancaster is programed in Ai Flight Planner to take off from both Menden (EDLA) and Fritzlar (ETHF) at the same time they will cross over each other along the way. OPTION 1: just watch the flight unfold and ponder the terrain they flew over at tree top level in 1943. Perhaps ever acknowledge how well AJG flys and lands. OPTION 2: requires some skill, take off from either airfield in a suitable fighter and find the intruder ahead. Fly with it for as long as you can. Even to escort it for landing, then land yourself. OPTION 3: After setup use it as a 'screen saver'.
The chosen airfields had no detail at all in FSX. The updated 'airfields' are not intended to be anything more than a starting point and have coded parks and taxiways added using AFX to allow the Ai's to complete the flight and park. A small static display of German ww2 aircraft, built using SAMM and positioned with Instant Scenery, is provided at each as a reminder we are in WW2 Germany.
All aircraft used in this presentation are FS2004 and readily available from the sim download sites. SPECIFIC DETAILS: Each airfield has coded parks - the park intended for YOU to activate the celebration is: Parking 0 - Ramp GA Medium Parking 1 - Ramp GA Small is only available if a Chopper pad is provided (a good way to witness a takeoff) Other parks start at 2 and are for use by the Lancaster or other aircraft, if provided, and should not be used by YOU.
The flight cycle is 2 hourly beginning on even hours 12:00, 14:00 etc etc. Because of the distance the flight time is about 30 minutes.
Using other starting times will of course result in different outcomes. You can of course start at GMT 0:00 or 02:00 for a moonlight run without default FSX showing so.
You can increase the speed of the simulation to 2x or 4x which may affect the autogen display. Take off and landing should be at 1x. The Lancaster is specifically coded to appear in the Air Traffic list of YOUR aircraft as 101 Lancaster DB - 101. This ensures it appears at the top of the list and makes it easier to locate quickly. Two will appear, the first one starts outward bound from Menden. The second starts from Fritzlar heading for Menden.
It is the same aircraft. The aircraft flys with its landing lights on so head to head will be easily recognizable.
INSTALLATION: The exe file should be extracted to a temp file. It contains 3 addon scenery folders and one aircraft folder #. The Menden update has two folders.
You will need to choose only the one for your system. The German West scenery repositions the Menden runway in its correct position and cannot be used in the default and vice versa. Place the Fritzlar and chosen Menden scenery folders in your addon scenery folder and activate these in the normal way. The aircraft folder, preceded with a #, is to be placed in the normal FSX Airplanes folder.
ACTIVATION: The experience maybe enhanced if you set a high level of autogen. (1) From freeflight select the aircraft you are going use for activation OR chase flying.
(2) Select the airfield as EDLA (Menden) and select Parking 0 - Ramp GA Medium. Or Parking 1 - GA Smnall if using a chopper. (3) for first time use, select the time as 12:00 GMT. Your chosen aircraft will appear on Park 0 at Menden and will face the taxiway to the runway.
(5) right click on the screen to activate the drop down menu and select the Air Traffic option. (6) The two Lancasters will appear at the top of the list, select the top one (at Menden for this GMT) and use your 'hat' to get a suitable view.
The aircraft will begin to move at approx 12:03. It will back backwards and then taxi for take off. You can of course use tower view to view the first part of the startup. (7) you can look to see where the other Lancaster is by selecting the other one from the Air Traffic list. (8) Enjoy the views (9) If flying a chase fighter, allow the Lancaster to taxi towards the runway, YOU request clearance and follow it. Once the Lancaster departs, take off and go find that intruder. The Lancaster will turn onto a heading of about 120 for the flight to the Eder Dam at 2300ft.
Altitude will increase to about 2800 feet over the high country. Good luck in finding her. Would you have found these dams in moonlight at the end of almost 3 hours of low flying? NOTE: The cruising speed is set to 170knts so as to reduce the flight time. The value is higher than used by the real Dambusters but is actually the speed at which one fully loaded lancaster flew to the Sorpe (just south of the Moehne).

KNOWN ISSUES: (a) the Lancaster will not always use the center of the runway when landing and may run off center when taking off. (b) at the runway hold position the aircraft may kick slightly off center. (c) Sound is not of a Merlin. (d) The Lancaster, once landed and during slowing down may kick to the right, off center, and then continue on.
(e) The Lanc will move backwards from its parked position then will start engines and move forward. If forward is towards the taxiway it will continue, otherwise it will rotate and then taxi to the taxiway. Guess all of these issues are Ai logic for us all to see in closeup. (f) if you do look at the flights in an editor, they contain errors as I have closed up the arrival - departure times to shorten the 'at airfield' between return flights. Cheers, hopefully have fun.
Ross McLennan, Adelaide, South Australia, 14 May 2011. This package is freeware and the usual boiler plate conditions apply. PS: This concept was used to film the 4 bombers in my Station RAF Linton-on-Ouse film.
