    Gloster Gladiator

    A small reminder if I may - my latest aircraft build is now available from Flightsim.com.
    It's the prewar British biplane fighter: the Gloster Gladiator.There's both the MK1 & MK2 vestions in the package. Although built for FS9, it will work in FSX (but not P3Dv4)


    Cheers

    @David, thank you very much for your wonderful Gladiator! I love those British bi-planes and your model brings the Gladiator back to live for flight simming!

    One which I like better is to change the sound of the Vega with the one of your Airspeed Consul.

    Best regards!

    @Dave,
    Thanks a lot for this great plane.
    Is there any chance of an FSX native version?
    I would like to use this gem in P3D.
    If not, i could convert the Gloster Gladiator to
    FSX native format via MCX, if i may.
    Luckily, you have made all gauges in XML, so it should work
    in all versions of P3D.

    Best regards
    Ulrich

    That conversion is already in progress Ulrich, although I cannot give a time-scale.
    Cheers

    Thanks a lot, Dave

    Interesting coincidence - Peter's first three repaints are of the same squadrons as the three plastic Gladiators on a shelf in my model room. Cool!

    @Peter: Thank you for your great repaints! I'd like to ask you, if there's a paintkit or some blank textures for painting purposes?

    There are the Norwegian and Swedish liveries which I've discovered at warbirdprofiles.com/ (alx previously posted the link). But it's hard to draw all structure lines and shades, so if there are some blank textures or somekind of paintkit, maybe with the mesh to orient to would be wonderful.

    Best regards,
    Elmar

    There is a small error in the entries for the first 3 textures issued by Peter in the readme file instead of the sentence "sim=gladiator18" the sentence "sim=gladiator01" is provided, due the which the model will not appear. The the second batch released by Peter, the line is correct.

    So done panic when the model doesn't appear in preview, as its easy to correct. Just change the sentence .

    Cheers,
    Huub

    Awesome looking Gladiator, Dave - I'm sure she'll be a welcome addition to many hangars! :-)

    Keep 'em coming.
