BAC Jet Provost/Strikemaster
Just wondering if there is a JP/Strikemaster aircraft in deveolopment or in the archive.
Very interested this aircraft and have been collecting information and found an Alphasim model used on FSX etc.

The one we have in Dev currently looks like this so I'd say if you've got one then crack at it, happy to help where needed.
Thanks for the reply, would love to have a look what you have and compare to the model I found
I've chucked what I've got in an email. Good luck!
Oly2b emailed me regarding the JP T Mk. 5 project, so I have made available all of the documentation I have on the T Mk. 5, other Mk's to follow soon. See the RTFM Library:

Expand the Codified tree to AP 101B-2305 for all the goodies:

Great stuff - thank you, Scott!
Its a pleasureto help.
One interesting avionics feature I read about last night in the manuals was a 15 kHz modulation on the spoken audio transmitted by VHF/UHF. This modulation was applied when three greens were lit (undercarriage locked down) and a speed switch was made (below certain speed, to be found in manuals).
I am making an assumption now, but the control tower may have had a demodulator linked to a warning lamp so when a JP pilot was talking to them on approach, they would know if all three legs were locked down or not. I also imagine a 15 kHz notch filter would be applied to the headsets of the control tower to block this tone (high pitch squeal).

Hi Scott
Many thanks for sharing your resources for this interesting little jet.

Hi Scott
I had a quite scan of the documents and it will help a lot (need to position airbrakes/spoilers correctly - out of place during model converts).
Panel layouts and orginal guages etc
Many thanks
Craig
Between the Spitfire, Swift and Vulcan there's probably enough gauges for you there to make a good representation of the cockpit without it being too arduous and it can always be fine tuned later.
It's a pleasure to help.
I'm presently adding the T Mk.3 / 3A info..
I have found that not only was there a radio warning to the control tower of undercarriage up for landing, but also a flashing lamp on the nose too (little one above main taxi lamp). Also turns out I have a flasher unit from this very lamp sat here at home, so if you wanted to add this detail, I can get yo the flashing frequency.
I've just been through the airframe circuit diagrams (AP 101B-2303-10) - it's such a simple jet compared to the Lightning! I could in the future model the circuits too without much stress, same as I did for the Lightning, but a lot less code!
Cheers, Scott.

I found I also have some images of JP instruments, I believe form a Mk.3 / 3A
Cheers, Scott.

It'll take me a couple more weeks to process them, but I have more JP manuals to share to the RTFM library too.

We now have published under AP101B-2303 and 2304:
T Mk. 3 - Topic 3A (illustrated parts catalogue) - good illustrations of throttle levers, control column, instrument panels etc..
T Mk. 3 - Topic 10 (electrical servicing diagrams) - nice cockpit panel annotated image
T Mk. 3A - Topic 15 (aircrew manual) - brilliant for getting to grips with the aircraft systems, and source of operating data.
T Mk. 4 - Topic 1 (general and technical info)
at: https://scottbouch.com/rtfm/
More JP manuals to come including pilot's notes, aircrew manual, and instructors handbook.
Cheers, Scott.

Cracking stuff, Scott. Much appreciated.
Once again many thanks for this information and data
