I don't think they will go with the free idea, but certainly SR-N4 is suitable for SSE

1. It adds diversity: SR-N4s are the largest surviving commercial hovercraft in the world, and they have been an icon for many years
2. There is a cause to support: The Hovercraft Museum has the last two SR-N4s in the world, and they are at risk of being bought out by private owners
3. They promote the Hovercraft Museum: That can be no bad thing, especially as at the Hovershow there will probably be lots of potential Vstep customers...
4. it does go nicely with the Dover-Calais environment...

1. Sort-of surviving...
2. Or scrapped by this 'museum'
3. This 'museum' actually opens, does it? Potential for SSE sales, I think maybe yes.
4. Absolutely.

Personally, I do think this is a good idea. But I dont' agree with the 'free' bit... (as said by McG). The key to any campaign succeeding is to demonstrate that it will increase sales, either total new sales of SSE or (in this case I think more likely) add ons... We all know the effort that goes into making a model; they need to earn money out of it (either through sales, or sponsorship (unlikely from this 'museum').

The Hovercraft Museum doesn't own them

They are owned by someone who is either a millionaire, unless you are the Hovercraft Museums Landlord when asking for rent...

Actually it'd be better as a "SR.N4 hovercraft in SSE for Dover-Calais in the same environment".
Meaning like having it as a ship that comes together with SSE installation, but not as a separate add-on.

Well this museum hosts the popular 'Hovershow' where hovercraft from around the world congregate. Needless to say, there are a lot of people there to see those hovercraft and what if there were copies of ssE available in the shop stands?

A little less beer. Try again? WHO is the landlord? Not me... You?

But to make it worth while this would put up the price of SSE to a higher figure, making it un-affordable to some people. If they charged, say £5-£10, would they sell enough to make it worthwhile? Perhaps.

I am nto sure who the Landlord is. I think it is either SEEDA or MoD

either way they have asked for rent for having the craft stored on their pland

The Owner, when he can be found, says he doesn't own them...

[Stuart2007]

I'll buy them then... How much?

[McGherkin]

Face it Stu, I have had a reasonably (uncharacteristic) good idea. I'm gonna steal your throne, God!

Who knows

The Museum had to pay something like £5000 just to open Anne up this year

it is a real shame

Remind me, McG- what was your idea?

Then they need to find new premises... Or assasinate the landlords. Or both.

Nothing to do with the landlord, it is the owner of the two craft

That woukd be hard to do Compared to Dover-Calais

The SR.N4 wouldn't make a easy to use model:

*Variable Pitch props
*Prop pylons can be rotated
*Rudder

As mush as I would love the SR.N4 to be in SSE

They got the thrusters working on the Freedom 90
And anyway, you forget that in SSE they've got a working fire monitor on the RPA12, why not?

4 independent varuable pitch props

that is 4 controls

Two sets of variable rotating pylong

2 more controls

The rudders

Another control

that is 7 controls

Answer me this:

The Freedom 90 has 2 thrust fans. If you press the up arrow what happens?
Then what happens when you drag one of the throttle levers up on the screen?
I'm sure Vstep will find a way of controlling them in a way that can be done with the normal controls
Anyway, Voortberand Besparen and SSPro both can have keys assigned for four independant engines.

Then my assassination plan still will work.

McG why keep quoting and not adding anything to it... WM is back and he will be critical of you (not as sarcastic as yours truly obviously..)
