Also, for builders wanting a base flight script, I've got the original as well as the tweaked one from the "Low Lag Project" available over at http://sites.google.com/site/bigglestrenton.
My contribution in the project is mainly the script and we'll…
At the moment you can point the new people to me and I can hand them aircraft. I hadn't packaged them up as I had hoped to redo the scripting first before placing them out for anyone to grab. So I am watching the low lag project and waiting on that.…
Hello Cornelius,
Is Caledonia some sort of "replication" of Caledon inside Blue Mars, and do we know whether Desmond has anything to do with it?
Best,
Dan Gervasi.
I had two questions: First, can we have this version of the Sopwith Camel? http://rcafhq.ning.com/photo/photo/show?id=1998021%3APhoto%3A6847 :-)
Second, more seriously, I was wondering if each newcomer was getting, just like I did, thanks to Zoe, a…
I'll just reveal this hint...
Everything old is new again.
The new aircraft are not as yet ready, and were not discussed during the main meeting that started at 9 AM SL time.
The new plane venture wasn't discussed at the meeting so you didn't miss that informaton. I too am wondering about this as it is news to me.
Hello,
I was not available and did not attend the last meeting. What was decided there, and may we know more about this new plane design venture?
Thanks,
Dan Gervasi.

- Flapter with TCS: First Impressions
As some of you may recall, I'm usually wandering around Caledon with a funny little flying machine called a Flapter, designed by Ms. Ilsa Munro. It looks a bit like a bug, as hovering and floating ability, and is very practical to mingle around in small rivers or torrents. It is also an excellent flyer, although a bit slower than most RCAF planes. It is however much faster than battle bugs.
Although I was an hour late for the dogfight yesterday, I did practice in Extropia and (thanks to the RCAF members who practiced with me!) and here are my impressions about the Flapter. Ilsa Munro was kind enough to customize it and enabled TCS on it.
The good:
- it has an excellent stability in flight, which allows some easy lock-in on targets.
- it's a very effective against battlebugs.
- more surprizingly, its flight behaviour allows an interesting ability to attack on sea/ground targets. I engaged with some kind of a flying ironclad in Extropia. I shot it down and I was able to do that both in the air and on the surface with even greater ease. Also, its ability to float and surf on the sea, let alone hover around its preys does matter a lot.
In short, it definitely makes a compelling choice for recon, and sea patrol/attack.
The bad:
- it's slower than any Thadovian Prowler/Mawler out there, let alone any jets or any WW2-like machine. So it can be an easy prey.
- TCS may need a bit of more work on this machine, but it's okay for the moment. Flaps animation has to be disabled (thanks Ilsa for the tip).
Your comments are welcome!
Dan.

- About Me:
- My name is Dan Gervasi and I am a recent Caldeon Citizen. As I love flying in SL I thought I could perhaps contribute to my new country, Caledon, by joining the RCAF.
- I Love Flying Because:
- Ah... perhaps because I always wanted to be a pilot in RL but could not...
Anyone want to form a recon/maritime patrol squad?
If so, I'd be interested. My flying machine seems to be made for that, can hover, take off and land on see and streams. Feel free to ping me.
Dan.
