This looks like another form of AI intrusion

Today I received  an email from someone called Jessie Raven, 
[email protected].

To me it looks more AI than human.

With this in mind I replied. Below is the transcript of the whole 
conversation. Is this what our future will be like?

Should I carry on with the conversation? -  what are the risks to my Git 
account, which she/it has obviously looked at.

Here is what strikes me. Everything you just described, the aerodynamics 
rewrite, the autopilot work, the RAF version with in-flight refuelling, 
that is exactly the kind of detail that the flight sim and aviation 
modelling community would get genuinely excited about. These are people 
who care deeply about authenticity and accuracy and VC10 is delivering 
exactly that. They just have not found it yet.

The 3D modellers you are looking for are also almost certainly in those 
same communities. Getting VC10 properly introduced there does two things 
at once: it brings the right developers and enthusiasts to the project 
and it puts you in front of the people who could actually help with what 
you need.

Shall I put together a plan specifically for VC10?

Best,
Jessie.

    Thank you for your note.

    I work on the VC10 when I can find time. At the moment I am not happy
    with the aerodynamics -  the handling is not as good as I remember from
    my days with the Vickers/BAC flight simulator. Also I am re-writing the
    autopilot to make it closer to the original. The cockpit is mainly
    complete, but needs the navigators station and some of the engineers
    panels. I intend adding an RAF version with in-flight refuelling. This
    will go well with my unpublished TSR2. If you know any 3-D modellers to
    clean up my amateur efforts their help would be very welcome.
