What can you recommend for other members?

A few guidelines; Freeware preferred / Payware considered

1] Radial or Inline
2] Dual Engine
3] Dual Rudder
4] Two Tailbooms

5] Who made it
6]Where might we find it

Hi OleBoy

From the top of my head
Nord Noratlas
C-119 of course
C-82
Cessna 337 (push pull)
Armstrong Whitworth AW 650 Argosy (Oooops, disregard, the argosy had 4 engines) :banghead::banghead::isadizzy:

No idea about links but I am dead sure the Noratlas is freeware and I have no doubt that you know about the 119 and the 82, discussed not so long ago in the forum as fot the Cessna, I think that M. Stone made one and there is another payware.

Saludos

[Willy]

I've got the FSD Cessna 337 and can't say enough good about it. I even flew it in the modern class during the London to Melbourne race. I've got the CD-ROM version so there's no problems with re-installs. I've also got Mike Stone's freeware 337, but it doesn't have a VC. However nice panels for it can be found at the usual places. But while good, Mike's don't hold a candle to the FSD 337.

Another aircraft that fits the description is David Copely's (dcc) P-38s. He is the P-38 master. And they're free!

Yep, the Noratlas is freeware, author was Jean-François Martin; definitely available at Flightsim. Oodles of repaints, also worth looking out for a panel/upgrade from the incomparable Benoit Gaurant.

CFS2 Focke-Wulf FW 189 Uhu (Updated version). Called the "Flying Eye" of the German army, the Fw 189 succeeded on the Eastern Front beyond the most optimistic predictions.

Its phenomenal toughness was demonstrated by Fw 189s returning to bases safely with one tail shot or torn off by Soviet ramming attacks.

FS2004 Lockheed XP-38N, v4.0. A fictitious variant of Lockheed's famous P-38 Lightning; the author's vision of what the next Lightning might have been. Major model update -- every aspect of the model has been updated since the previous version. This next-gen Lightning is powered by RR Griffon engines turning high-activity paddle propellers for high speed and high altitude performance. Includes gauges by Mike Wagner, Chuck Dome, and Eugene Heyart. Texture assistance from Dan Swart. Complete package, including custom sounds made from actual recordings of a Griffon-powered Spitfire and a P-38. Recorded and mixed by the author.

Not quite on topic but it's a twin-boomer sans the extra engine. Back in the early 1970's Cessna toyed with the idea of a smaller, single pusher-engined version of the Skymaster called the XMC (Experimental Magic Carpet). Cessna says it was basically an engineering and technology demonstrator to test new materials, engines, and wing combinations - as well as a ducted fan version - but it looks pretty clear that they were testing the market waters for a new model light single

2907229073

Scanned form the May 1971 issue of Air Progress magazine

Apparently the cabin had higher noise levels than that of a C-150 and offered no real improvement in performance over it, but it looks like it'd be a nifty little runabout IMO!

N.

[normb]

makes me think of two more interesting "boomed" airplanes:

Piglet's great Anderson Greenwood AG-14 (one of which Cessna bought and evaluated before designing the Magic Carpet bird. They also did a small twin pusher like a 337 to compete with the Twin Camanche. No production.).

The Crusader AG-4 powered by two Menasco's. Dennis Siminaitis (sp?) did a nice one in FS98 and 2000, I think. Good web page on that retro looking bird.

Now THAT is what the Seabee should have been! The Seabee's landing gear always looked like it would snap off with the first three foot wave it came across, and that twin rudder/tailboom combo along with the turboprop engine makes for a much more interesting looking aircraft.

N.

[ThinkingManNeil]

According to Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIAI-Marchetti_FN.333_Riviera), the Nardi/Siai-Marchetti FN-333 Riviera was powered by a Continental six banger engine, but I bet a small Allison or Garret turboprop would've worked just as well or better. The screenie from the starboard rear quarter showed what looks to be a large exhaust port and I took that for a turboprop exhaust.
