This is Version 3 of my F4U-1A Corsair that was first released back in 2001.
The F4U-1A Corsair was a minorly improved version of the original. The Pilot's seat was raised and the Canopy was changed for better visibility. The performance was slightly improved but poor low speed handling still restricted it to Marine and Navy units on land bases.
The Fokker Eindecker was the first mass produced fighter with a synchronised machine gun firing through the propeller arc. The Eindecker (monoplane) was a lightly built, low powered aircraft built when aircraft design was an art rather than a science. It was unstable, handled poorly and not at all easy to fly. The E.III was the best performer of the series.
The Curtiss P-40C Hawk 81 served as a front line fighter for the US Army at the beginning of WW II. It was one of the more maneuverable fighters flown by the United States and was quite effective at low altitudes.
This aircraft carries generic early war US Army markings as might have been seen at Pearl Harbor. It is nearly identical in content to the AVG marked version.
Focke-Wulf Ta 152C-0 v7 CI+XM, Werk Nummer 0007.zip
wm_ta152c.zip; Focke-Wulf Ta 152C-0 v7 stammkennzeichen; CI+XM Werk Nummer 0007
A Fw 190D prototype had been rebuilt and flown with a DB 603 engine in support of the Ta 152C program, and this plane took to
the air for the first time in October 1944. During December 1944 and January 1945 aircraft joined the test program. The definitive production version was to be the Ta 152C-1, and it was hoped that the first examples could be rolling off the production lines in April of 1945. However, series production of the Ta 152C was only just beginning when Allied forces overran the assembly plants
The Ta 152C-1 was powered by a Daimler-Benz DB 603LA twelve-cylinder liquid cooled engine rated at 2100 hp (2300 hp with MW 50) for takeoff and 1750 hp at 29,530 feet (1900 hp at 27,560 feet with MW 50). MK 108 cannon with 90 rounds, two
fuselage-mounted 20-mm MG 151 cannon with 250 rpg, and two wing-mounted 20-mm MG252 cannon with 175 rpg. Maximum speed was 227 mph at sea level (356 mph with MW 50), 436 mph at 37,730 feet (460 mph at 32,810 feet with MW 50). Initial climb rate was 3050 feet per minute and service ceiling was 40,350 feet. Weights were 8849 lbs empty, 10,658 lbs normal loaded, and 11,733 pounds maximum. Wingspan was 36 feet 1 inch, length was 35 feet 6 1/2 inches, height was 11 feet 1 inch, and wing area was 290.89 square feet.
Focke Wulf Ta.152V-7, Wk.Nr.11 0007,
To Ta 152C-0/R11 standard,
Unit: Stab./JG301
Langenhagen, Germany, Spring 1945.
Serial: CI+XM
Two known operational aircraft at end of 1945
the Tank Ta 152V7 was tested in January 1945 by Focke Wulf at Adelheide-Langenhagen a/f close to Delmenhorst.
It served as prototype for the planned Ta 152C medium altitude fighter. Designated as Ta 152C-0/R11 variant, a set of excellent official company photographs was shot, showing essential detail of this fighter.
There are no reports about the fate of this particular plane. Neither did it appear on loss lists nor was it captured. Maybe it ended its days being pressed into service with JG 301 or being destroyed during one of the numerous air raids in the final days of WW2. The (small) black swastika wasn't painted out but but placed on a dark camo spot. Maybe the first intention was to use a swastika with white trim.
CI+XM: Besides W.Nr.110006 and 008 (V6 and V7) it was part of the small Ta152C-0 pre-production batch. It received the DB603 E instead of the proposed DB 603 L and LA powerplant. There seem to have been problems with this engine, so only two
Ta 152C-1/R11 W.Nr.600001 and 0002 with DB 603 LA are reported to have been delivered to Stab/JG 301 at Welzow a/f. Further details are unknown.
Nothing is known about the fate of CI+XM. It ended its days in one of the numerous rubble heaps being scattered across the
remnants of the "Reich" in May '45.

Armstrong Whitworth Whitley Mk. I
CFS1 Armstrong Whitworth Whitley Mk. I
The Whitley was the first modern heavy bomber for the RAF, preceding the Hampden and the Wellington. The Whitley was known by her crews as the "Flying Barn Door" because of the slab shape of the wings. An unusual feature of the Whitley was the appearance of the aircraft always seemed to be flying downhill, this was due to the 81/2° angle of incidence given to the wing to ease the landing and take-off phase of the flight. This was done at the period when flaps were cutting edge technology but ironically the Whitley was also fitted with flaps. The original Whitleys (Marks 1, 2, & 3) were fitted with two Armstrong Siddely Tiger 14 cylinder radial engines until the mk4 (Mk. IV) when Rolls Royce Merlins were fitted. The Whitley served with Bomber Command until 1942 but from 1939 aircraft were loaned to Coastal Command for convoy escort and anti-submarine duties.
The first version of the Corsair supplied to the US Navy was restricted to Land Bases because of poor low speed handling and stall characteristics and a tendency to bounce on landing. These planes were also given to the US Marines and the Royal Navy who welcomed them for their high performance.
This model represents a late model F4U-1 Corsair with a Birdcage Canopy Frame with additional outter wing tanks and a bomb rack.
De Havilland Vampire F Mk1 for CFS1
The DH100 Vampire was the second jet fighter designed for service with the Royal Air Force but was too late to see service in WW2. Powered by a DH Goblin 2 it could fly at over 500mph

AF99 Tutorial Aeroplane - Macchi C.205 Veltro Serie III
This Aeroplane was created as the subject of a AF99 Tutorial. It is released here so that the audience of this Tutorial may download and review the model that is the end result. My belief is that a downloadable model will show much more than the screenshots I have used to illustrate thus far.
The F6F-5 Hellcat (Hellcat Mk.II in British Service) was an incremental improvement over the F6F-3. High Speed Roll Rate was improved via Spring Tab Ailerons. Water Injection was standardized. Straight line performance did not change substantially. This model represents the late-war definitive version in typical Dark Blue paint with a fanciful carrier identifier. Enjoy! - Ivan.
The Manchester was known for two things, the first was that it was the forunner of the Avro Lancaster and the second reason was that because of the engines fitted it was notoriously unreliable. The Rolls Royce vulture engines were underdeveloped when placed in production and as a result any aircraft fitted was doomed to fail. The Rolls Royce Vulture used the four cylinder blocks from the Rolls Royce Peregrine arranged in an X layout, a simple idea to produce a high power engine but it needed a lot of development at a time when the main priority was the increased production of the Rolls Royce Merlin. There were several other problems which included lack of stability around the yaw axis, this was rectified by a larger tailplane and larger fin and rudders resulting in the Mk1A. Another problem was the poor reliability of the hydraulics with several aircraft lost due to the feathering controls being faulty. The Manchester had an exceptional airframe, hence the decision to mount four Rolls Royce Merlins to produce the Manchester mk3 or Lancaster. Avro Manchesters were allocated to squadrons, which they served well until the advent of the Lancaster when they continued in service in the bomber squadrons in the training role being an ideal conversion aircraft for the Avro Lancaster. They were finally used in OTU squadrons until struck of charge during 1943, there are no survivors.
The Fairey IIIF was first flown in March 1926 and was soon to become the most numerous aircraft in british military service, the Hawker Hart, Demon, Audax, Hardy, Osprey and Hind were all different aircraft so don't count. Powered by a Napier Lion, the flying of the IIIF was referred to as a gentleman's pursuit as it was so well behaved.
The Curtiss P-40C Hawk 81 served as a front line fighter for the US Army at the beginning of WW II. It was one of the more maneuverable fighters flown by the United States and was quite effective at low altitudes.
This aircraft carries the markings for the 1st Pursuit Squadron (Adam & Eves) of the American Volunteer Group. It is nearly identical in content to the US Army marked version.
The Grumman Hellcat was the most successful Naval Fighter in history. This aircraft represents a mid production F6F-3. It has Water Injection for WEP which was not installed in early -3 Hellcats. Roll rate is somewhat slow in the -3 Hellcats especially at high speed. This Aircraft was known for very docile handling and stall characteristics and for large trim changes with changing airspeed. The Tail Hook has been disabled in this version but is easily restored. Let me know if you find issues.

CFS1 Hispano Ha1119M
The Hispano Ha1119M, nicknamed 'Buchon' because of the pigeon breast effect of the fitting of a Rolls Royce Merlin, is best known as the Messerschmitt from the film 'Battle of Britain' made in 1969. They were up until then serving with the Spanish Air Force. Built by Hispano they were, ironicaly, fitted with Rolls Royce Merlins.
The aircraft has been developed from the Bf109 by Richard Osbourne but the fitting of a rolls Royce merlin and several other modifacation is all my own work. The panel and the sound files are a result of others hard work and frankly can't be beaten as such their original restrictions apply. As for my files you may not upload to any payware site or make any money from the files. The Buchon flies fines on my PC but if you think the files may have harmed your PC in any way then tough!

The Westland Wapiti - CFS1
The Westland Wapiti was a two-seat general-purpose biplane and as requested by the Air Ministry, incorporated in its design, several de Havilland D.H.9A component parts. The prototype Wapiti first flew in March 1927 and was awarded an initial order of 25 production Mk I included one that specially modified with a more luxurious rear cockpit for the Prince of Wales to fly in.
Mk I was powered by a 425hp Bristol Jupiter VI engine, but subsequent Mk II and Mk IIA had 450hp Jupiter VI and 475hp Jupiter VIIIF or similar engines. There were a small number of lengthened Wapiti Mk V and some unarmed Mk VI trainers which brought the total produced for the Royal Air Force to 501. The Westland Wapiti also served the Air Forces of Australia, South Africa (where Wapitis were built under licence), Canada, India and China.

CFS1 Shorts 184
The Shorts 184 was first flown in 1915 complete with a 14" torpedo weighing some 900lbs. The aircraft was powered by a 225hp Sunbeam Mohawk engine although when it went into production there were various other engine used as well. These were apart from the Sunbeam Mohawk, were Sunbeam Maori mks I, II and III up to 260hp, Sunbeam Gurkha of 240hp and a Renault of 240hp (this engine was a copy of a captured Mercedes and was often referred to as the Renault-Mercedes). The last engine was well liked by the 184 pilots as it was slow revving and above all more reliable than the Sunbeams. Some aircraft were built with one engine and fitted with another later on in life so standardisation was something not bothered with.
Even though the 184 was designed to be a torpedo bomber it rarely carried torpedoes, mainly because if you carried a torpedo you didn't carry a gunner. There were examples of successful torpedo attacks but the usual offensive load was 4 X 65lb bombs or 4 X 100lb bombs. The 184 was used as a patrol and an anti-submarine attack aircraft and possibly did sink a U-boat, it definitely damaged many. The main problem being the speed of the 184, the pilot was very lucky if he could get 70mph out of his aircraft, this gave the U-boat Captain ample time to submerge and elude his stalker. The reliability of the engines also played a part in the non-successes as there were several pilots and gunners captured by the U-boat crews when the aircraft engine failed at a most important time.
The aircraft flies well on my PC, even though it is very sluggish.

Evidently there were two aircraft that flew in Air A Cutie livery:
P-39D-1-BE 41-28267, 8 F.G. 36 F.S. Port Moresby, Sept 1943. This is the famous "Air A Cutie" aircraft.
The paint scheme is Olive Drab on top and Neutral Gray on the underside with a white nose cone and tail and wing leading edges. The artwork is some of the best seen on any fighter due to the quality and the huge size of the artwork that is on both sides of the fuselage. There is different artwork on both sides of the fuselage of what appears to be the same naked lady laying down with a big smile on her face. There is yellow text on both side of the fuselage by the artwork that reads "Air A Cutie".
The second aircraft; P-39N-5-BE 42-18802, 35 F.G. 41 F.S. Nadzab, New Guinea, October 1943. This is the famous "Air A Cutie" aircraft. The paint scheme is Olive Drab on top and Neutral Gray on the underside with a yellow nose cone and white tail (with a yellow tip) and white wing leading edges. The artwork on the pilot's door is a sexy naked lady lying on her side in a curled up pose with the name "Julie" above her. There is also a big white "51" on the side of the fuselage in front of the cockpit.

Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer
CFS1 - Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer
The Twin Pioneer first flew on the 25th June 1955 and went on to serve will several small airlines. The largest customer was the Royal Air Force who put 39 examples into service as a light to medium Transport and Liason aircraft. the Twin Pioneer could carry 16 passeners in airline service or 13 troops or 11 Paratroops or an equivalent load of cargo in military service.
The aircraft is all my own work and the restriction on my files are that you may not upload to any payware site or make any money from the files. The Twin Pioneer flies fine on my PC but the air file could do with some improvemnts. If you think the files may have harmed your PC in any way then tough!

CFS1 Miles M20
The Miles M20 was originally designed as an emergency fighter for production during the Battle of Britain. The idea being to use non essential tradesmen from the furniture and cabinet making trade. This wouldn't make any demands on the overstretched aircraft industry.
The prototype flew within 65 days of the first drawing being started on the 15th September 1940. The M20 was armed with eight 0.303 browning machine guns although it was possible to fit twelve. The feared shortage of fighters for the RAF never materialised so the M20 never went into production.
Please enjoy a most unusual aircraft.
