Help with a Flight Sim Project by Britloadie
Hello Bent beck and feathers folks I represent a group which is at present building the ultimate Bristol Britannia for MSFS9 (and upgradeable to FSX) The primary builder is having some serious problems with the sound I flew a long way on IAS’s Britannia’s but there does not seem to be an acceptable sound file of the Proteus to be found. If anyone can assist we would be very appreciative - the finish product will be par excellence and of course Eagle colour schemes will take a primary seat. Amongst other information required is The Britannia Flight manual , and some information on cargo doors I know Bristol’s built the C2s with small doors I believe that Eagle had their own cargo doors fitted and were originally the same size as the RAF Cargo doors (makes sense as you guys were hauling cargo for MOD) But the IAS Britannia’s all had larger cargo doors built to accept 108 inch pallets. Does anyone have the exact dimensions and if possible photos of both types of door? Sorry that my first post seems so demanding but as I said the principles in this project are sticklers for detail, and I’m just the ”scrounger” Cheers Leif

CF at Liverpool has a freight door. I’m sure the friendly team up there would either measure it for you or let you measure it yourself. You could always try the CL44 association at www.cl44.org/
There’s a few ex Brit types in there and even more ex IAS freight dogs. I’ve gone through all my Brit books and can find everything but cargo door dimensions. Will trawl again when I have more time. Hope it helps. Be lucky David

Hi from Germany. My father, Al Trop, was a B.E. executive, head of the N.Y. station. My brother, a musician and aviation enthusiast (especially for B.E.) in L.A, is involved in providing flight simulators to inner city schools. Maybe he could help you with your problem? Contact Barry Trop barrytrop@yahoo.com Good Luck + Best Regards Steven Trop Germany
