Well well well, slow it down a little Lester
1.) What makes you think, I took those JSB planes as they came out of aeromatic? What the hell made you think, you will find in any of the planes I tinkered with a Nasal to correct the trim? The weak point, and I admit to it, are the positions for exampel of engines and tanks, but I work on this since IAHM-COL showed me how to get the models into Blender to get positions directly out of the model (in earlier works, I had to rely on postions form manufacturer sketches). But it far from that I just go, run aeromatics and that's it.
2.) You may have noticed, that the names are for example Koenigsadler-Jsb ... not Koenigsadler-J. I suggest, you read carefully in the future. Koenigsadler was the nickname of the Ju-390 as the Fw-200 was the Condor and the Ju-290 (not in FG yet) was the Seeadler. The suffix -Jsb indicates a plane with a JSB-model. JSB refers to Jon S Bernd who started the JSB fdm ... so if you find that offensive, you may want to write him an angry email, not me.
3.) There were actually a few exceptions which I named indeed -J. Those planes, like the Comet-J were planes I refurbished for personal use, I think, all of them for USA Tour legs. I deeply regret hereby that I tried to offer you my Comet when you cried in Curtis forum 24 hours before the start of that leg, that you had no time to finish YOUR personalö take on the plane. If I remember right, you then decided to go with a Lockheed ... which also had its problems, so I ended up about 16 hours before the start of the tour leg with dishing out a quick variant of that Lockheed which was, since you came late a bit on the strong side because I had not enough time to get all data gathered. So there was a Lockheed which was far under specs (yours) and had a fuel consumption about that of a fully blown 747 and one that worked but was at full throttle about 20 knots too fast and had about 500nm more range than the real one. You insisted of course to fly yours, which was your good right. What was it? Two unplanned fuel stops and you didn't even make the minimum speed for the leg if I remember right? But yes, I deeply regret to have ever tried to save your sorry rear in a tight time schedule and by that to have demonstrated, that I am entirely able to build a plane that flies in the real life specs in a short time and you weren't.
4.) About the Lancaster: I have no idea how she was in 2012, I came only in 2013 into FG. And it took another few months before I even touched the Lancaster for the USA Tour bomber leg. At this time, there were three planes of interest to me, the Lancaster, the B-17 and the Ju-390. I refurbished the Lancaster as Lancaster-JSB and that was the first time a Lancaster ever flew in specs concerning range, weights and speeds. I refurbished the B-17 as FlyingFortress-JSB, again to avoid collisions with Helijah's version, and that was the first time, a B-17 ever flew in FG in the rela life specs concerning range, weights and speeds. Both were, unauthentically as I admit, equipped with a SYS7 AP which I developed from a SYS6 (my original and first self written complete XML-based AP). So if you want to compalin about something, you may complain that I introduced a working AP, but then, nobody forces you to use it. The Ju-390 became the Koenigsadler-Jsb and yes, with her, I had some fun and she has kind of a cheat mode that enables her to go up to 39,000ft at speeds that are lets say quite unrealistic. The regular operation modes are in the specs. But well, SykBoat was flying her also in the test phase and it was just for the fun, so ... hell, why not? You can of course officially complain about having fun now, but chances are, I only suggest, you take some pills against emotional constipation and relax a little. An the Koenigsadler actually was never entirely finished (she got the generalized bord canon system though) because there was a last minute request for the Superfortress. And yes, I had again some fun, she was playing Pirates of the Carribean while taking off. So ... well, pill and relax!
Now, I love the Albatros D III you made. But I am well awayre, that the model of YOUR Albatros as you market it, is not made by you. Same with a lot of other planes. And yes, I looked into the FDMs and see those standard copies of Nasals and the very standardized ways of your FDMs. So, do you really want to go through it line by line? Because it could end up showing, you did what you accused me of while I didn't. Think about it and let me know ...
