When I think of a Tiger Moth I always think of this clip.

So, like he didn't have enough room to land on the rwy, he had to go on an excursion out on the back 40 to stop it? lol, I mean, how fast does a Tiger Moth go... 40 maybe 50 mph, lol, lol. Geeeze what a maroon.

He lost power immediately on take-off and had to set it down...

I say he did the right thing, despite the cow tipping. :icon_lol:

Hmm, ok, then the distance it "appears" that he travels beyond the rwy must be exaggerated because of the fisheye camera angle. . .looked like he flew for miles beyond the rwy. Yea, sad to say, but in that case, the cow was expendable!

Yeah, during his climb out, about 20 sec into the clip, the engine sputters and he lost all power. Think the carbuerator fouled if I remember.
He said he never saw the cow, I'm sure it was under the nose at that point.
Plus he was focused on avoiding a wire fence. You can see him do a quick little hop with the Moth prior to hitting the cow.
Actually the cow was fine, it ran away after dropping, and rolling. :icon_lol:

That cow wasn't hit. It did a very well executed combat roll and lived to tell about it. Problem is it doesn't trust a damn human anymore.

Lovely aircraft Anthony.

[Tim-HH]

That looks wonderful, Anthony! :applause:

Greetings

[huub vink]

Looking really great Anthony! As I love camo paint the first shot is my favourite!

Cheers,
Huub

[gajit]

Looks fantastic other than there is no self shadow?

[res non verba]

very nice looking model, lovely! :ernae:

[CodyValkyrie]

I have never been a huge fan of British aircraft, however I have ALWAYS loved the curves of the Tiger Moth. The Moth has always been one of my favorite aircraft, and I have never been able to pin down exactly why. I guess the mystique of a plane caught between the ages, a biplane trainer envisioned from post World War I ideas, plopped directly into WWII pilot's hands. Simply beautiful.

I'm rather looking forward to this release. Shame Aeroplane Heaven never finished theirs to FSX standards.

[EDIT] We have a little Tiger Moth at the Pearson Aviation Museum just NW a few miles from where I live. While I enjoy many of the planes in that museum, I was absolutely excited to have learned they also had one.

[Roger]

Great stuff Ant! can't wait!:ernae:

[empeck]

Great!

This is payware, or freeware project?

[kilo delta]

That looked fantastic! :ernae::ernae:

:applause::applause: Yummy!

[Dexdoggy]

Ant doing aeroplanes? Brilliant! This plane looks absolutely awesome! :ernae:
Ant is already the master of awesome, frame-rate-friendly airports that are essential add-ons!

[Pips]

Two wings RULE. :jump: Beautifully done Ant. You've really worked your magic on this baby.

Up till now I've been as happy as larry with the Just Flight Tiger Moth. But I can see that that aircraft will be retired to static display now that I will be able to fly your version. :)

I spend a lot of my time out at Temora Aviation Museum , which during WWII was home to No.10 EFTS Training School, equipped with 97 Tiger Moths. The Aviation Museum still have one flying there in mint condition, giving displays each month. :) A beautiful aeroplane in flight.

Just for interest sake, here's a picture of Temora, with TM's lined up.

It is freeware but there will be a donation page for it :)

(Correct me if I am wrong Ant ;) )

WOW.

I've never donated for an addon before, but I think that might change my mind looking at this.

And yes, this looks good, ribbed wings and all:applause::applause:

[Milton Shupe]

Beautiful modeling all around this aircraft Anthony. Love the wings and control sufaces look ... very realistic appearing. :ernae:

[Lionheart]

Very nice looking bird! Love the ribbing.

[AussieMan]

I have been flying this beauty since Anthony asked for people to put it through its paces before release.

It flys beautifully, the controls are smooth and the aircraft is very docile. The thing I love most is the sound of the wind whistling through the wires.

It is also DX10 compatible.

Cheers
Pat

[Vratan]

Very nice!! :applause:

[SpaceWeevil]

Someone over at CBFS has pointed out that the screenies show the early version before DH added the anti-spin strakes in front of the tail. I wondered if you were including the version that has them? It doesn't matter to me by the way - it looks gorgeous as it is, and I can't wait to have it in my hangar.

[Naki]

Most NZ and Aussie Tiger Moths aren't fitted with spin strakes...even nowadays.

[anthony31]

Naki is correct. This aircraft is based on a RAAF Tiger Moth DH82A with a 130hp Gipsy Major engine as you would commonly find flying in Australia today (I haven't seen one yet that has strakes fitted).

[alexf]

Beautiful Ant! I want! I want!

[SpaceWeevil]

No worries - I've always liked them better without. Anyways, with the FSX scenery available today Australia is a great place to fly.
