Looking for advice: ex Jaguar GR1(a) pilots/maint.

We're a small team interested in producing a pc flightsimulation on the subject. This is a long term project. We don't anticipate a release until 2015 at the earliest.

We're looking for ex Jaguar GR1(a) drivers and maintenance personnel to advise us on what it was like to operating the aircraft. Validation of flightmodel etc.

Interested parties should email: bcpjansen[at]outlook[dot]com

Any help highly appreciated.

For heavy fits requiring earth curvature this is not a bad option.

Slightly seriously though fireloop, there are several ex Jagmates in here. If you could be specific about your needs, I'm sure that help will be available.

They'll need to make it compatible to run on a Pentium 200 MHZ to get it to run slow enough to model the Jag.

That should be no problem to simulate, as the original NAVWASS had about an 8k computer, about 30% of which was used to keep the platform level!
