Hi Marc. I've reported the issues to the paint kit creator.

Can you send the support team a screenshot showing this issue? - "weird shadows on the outside plane fuselage"

Flew it last night, very nice indeed. Not sure if there is a difference between the 748 and the RAF Andover ( a bit longer maybe ? ) but it would be nice to have the Andover in Tan / Brown / white cabin roof livery. Oh and the Queens flight livery would be nice.
Excited to see the VC10 in development, is it being done by the GR1 / Hawk team ? |

The VC-10 is not being modelled/textured by our in-house development team but there is a possibility that it might be at least partially coded by them.

Thanks Martyn, any comment on whether there will be a RAF Andover variant of the 748 ?

Hi Tim,
I'm not sure if it's been discussed internally but I'll be sure to bring up the subject. Thanks Martyn |

The Andover was fundamentally a very different aircraft:
1: rear loading ramp, different tail configuration with greater dihedral for load clearance 2: Engines mounted further outboard to cater for larger diameter props - in turn the wingtips had 18 inches shaved off to keep overall wingspan the same. 3: Dart RDa.12 Mk 201's 3,245 eshp instead of 2,100 eshp of the 748 Srs 2A 4: Full reverse thrust capability 5: `Kneeling` undercarriage to tilt the floor for easier unloading 6: Overall about 11 feet longer than the Srs 2A Given that it also had a slightly different cockpit and lever configuration, not sure how viable a request this is? Different fuselage, wings, engines, FDE and cockpit textures really means a completely separate aircraft with some common features, not a derivation. |

I knew about the loading ramp and kneeling undercarriage but didn't know the rest of it, that's interesting, thanks for the info. Now you mention it, I see the rear fuselage dihedral difference. Hence being called the HS 780 then !
Oh well, maybe some keen re-painters can do the 748 in RAF colours like these, and well say no more about it! So am I correct that the RAF variant here is a 748 ? |

Yes, `Andover` was the generic name given to the 748/780 in military service.:
Andover C Mk 1 was the 780 Andover CC 2 was basically a 748
XS789 and the others above were Andover CC 2's - part of a fleet of six communications and VIP variants of the 748 used by the RAF. The Indian Air Force were the largest users of the `military` 748 with Hindustan licence manufacturing producing 89 Srs 1 and Srs 2 aircraft, 72 of which were for the Indian military. They did not build any 780 models. |

Oh and the last of the development of the platform was the BAe ATP first flown in the `80's
Darts replaced by P&W 126's, nose and tail shapes changed, extended fuselage and a slightly revised wing, with modern avionics and interiors. In all 64 were built, but the design was trounced as (was the competing Saab 2000 - 63 built) by the sucess of the Dash 8 and ATR 72 designs, and by the rise of the Regional Jet (CRJ and ERJ) |

.....a veritable goldmine of information
It's not until I saw those pictures that I realised the difference between the 748 and 780.....in fact I didn't know the military version was called a 780, just that there was some kind of difference. I don't quite know why, but I always thought the ATP kind of just looked 'right'. Mind you, I think the same about the 727, 757 and A300. Oh, and the Hunter. Actually I should stop there (no idea where that ramble came from). The more I think about it, quite a lot of aircraft 'just look right'. |

As R.J. Mitchell said about the Spitfire "If it looks right, it is right"

Burt Rutan would be the designer to disagree with that.
But I still think the 780 was the best looking of the bunch.

Is there any chance of a demo version of the HS748? I would really like to be able to check this aircraft out before I make a purchase decision. Turboprops are fickle beasts in P3D/FSX, so I need to know if I can handle it!

I would be interested to know the runway performance of the JustFlight HS748 @ 66% fuel and zero cargo/passengers. Is it able to operate from hard runways of 2000 feet with this configuration, or is that pushing the boat out just a bit too far?

We're currently getting the aircraft updated for P3D v4 and we'll certainly look at producing a demo version after that work is complete. Thanks Martyn

I'd like to see an ATP. Still a bunch flying, mainly as freighters. Enigma had a model for FSX but lacked a virtual cockpit.
