Great news, if it really means a fully native DX10 version!

That thread went a bit cold more than two months ago though.

Does Mr Piper ever visit these forums?

Great news! If you guys want to move this along, maybe posting on his forum that you are an FSX user and would be happy to have an FSX model might help :whistle: .

The Chippy is the first plane I ever flew being an ex air cadet. Loved this in FS9, can't wait for the FSX version.

I got to sit in a Chippy last week for the first time.....bloody cramped in there...or maybe it's just that I'm getting wider!! :monkies::icon_lol:

Rick posted over at CBFS today saying that the FSX Chippie is a 'back burner' project so don't expect it anytime s**n! He's got a number of other projects to get out before he can finish the Chippie off.

I will be waiting with baited breath as I, like a number of others here, got my first stick time in one when I was just a spotty teenager.

His FS9 version works really well for a port over in FSX and the mods mentioned in the other post fix the missing accelerometer problems and the compass backplate.

I have a copy of an early beta of Rick's current projct and believe me is it something to look forward to.

The only clues I can give you is that it British in origin and a type never been made in MSFS before!!!!:jump:

D**n. Not a JP then. One of them's been done. Still need one for FSX, though!!! :jump:

Some kind of British turboprop, according to Mr Piper himself. Now that must narrow it doen a bit........yes Calypsos, your days are numbered! Any last requests?

A Jetstream T1/T2 perhaps? I know the civilian versions have been done, but I can't remember any RAF ones off the top of my head.

SimShed did a Tucano once upon a time (recently).

What about the Turbine powered Chipmunk? I'd love that.

What about a Scottish Aviation Bulldog or Pioneer
I don't think there were any turbo versions though

The only RAF turboprops I can think of that ever wore the red/white scheme were the Tucano and the Jetstream, unless I'm missing something.

Old thread I know and Rick has been busy with the Jetstream but has there been any progress on the FSX native Chippy?

HS Andover? I doubt it though, there was never a dedicated Trainer variant to warrant the same markings as the Chippy.

Edit: Darn it... I really should read the entitre thread before posting... Sorry Gents.

I'm sure one was released, I used to have one that worked flawlessly in fsx accel I'm sure it was Ricks too!

I remember Ricks for FS2004 for sure... I didn't know there was an FSX native Andover...

There isn't a native FSX Andover. Rick's Chipmunk V3, whilst a fantastic freeware addon, is still a portover. It performs brilliantly in FSX Acceleration but suffers the usual portover issues of clouds before prop etc. :)

Thinking about ti that was the one I had, was still a nice one though, vc was quite nice!
