Bit obscure to an international audience but a beautifully rendered FsX native, British carrier aircraft from the '50s:engel016:

I find it a real challange to land! It's a beautiful beast, love this older Navy stuff! One of the best VC cockpits, too.

Just stopped in when I saw the title. Is this freeware and will it work in FS9? Thanks!

Yes and No, in that order. Unfortunately there's too much detail in the cockpit to easily export it to FS9.

Cheers Bill! If you click my signature image it takes you to the download site!

It is a nice plane, but I am gonna dump the bump mapping. Sorry, but it makes it look like vacuformed plastic.

Holy moly! I missed this back in January. This plane is beautiful, and fun to fly! (And FSX Native!)

Thanks, Skippy!

(Just saw the link to the Hawk repaint on the site, and discovered the Wyvern.)

I don't mind the bump mapping but one thing I have noticed very recently is that it doesn't match depending on which part of the model you're looking at, for instance the bump mapping on the tops of the wings doesn't match that on the fuselage at all.

Still it's a cracking addon and one that I fly on a regular basis.

It took me ages to get this one to download right, but I got it in the end! And the next day..guess what was the star download on the PC Pilot magazine disk! :faint:Love the plane though!

Darn challenging to trap on the carriers, too!

Seriously, get this if you haven't, folks.
