Hi Dave,
Thanks for the link & I think that a lot of us, as time goes by, forget about the classics, and it takes something like this to rekindle the hobby.
It happened to me, I got bored of the usual point to point flying over the years, the I found Garry Smith's site, chatted & become a beta tester for him, until he passed on, & I've now ended up with 8 FS2004 installs, themed from Vintage to Space installs.
We gotta keep the legacy alive!!
You dont want to do an Airdale for us?? We need a tripod to complete the series!

There is an Airdale available by Marty Strong on most of the major sites - pretty sure in works in FS9 as well as FSX.Originally Posted by zswobbie1
I did see that, thanks, but as this is a DaveM collection...

Ah, the Airdale. I recall considering that when I was building the Auster series. I dismissed it as being too far removed
from the Auster concept and also being a resounding failure. So, sorry, no, not by me.
Cheers

Description: Following similar conversions of Taylorcraft TG-6 aircraft in America, the British Taylorcraft Aeroplanes company converted an Auster lll into the model 'H' glider. Sources
differ here - it seems that a Taylorcraft model D fuselage was converted - maybe then fitted with Mk III wings c/w flaps ?.
This was intended for instructional duties at Army gliding schools as a primary trainer.
Whereas previous British training gliders had been specifically designed and built for the job, the model 'H' was an example of a converted powered light aircraft.
This was achieved by replacing the engine and cowl with a lengthened front containing a seat and controls etc. for a pupil pilot.
A slightly larger fin was fitted and the undercarriage shortened.
The prototype was first flown in July 1943 . Although it was painted in trainer glider colours and with a 'P' on the fuselage, no other marking were evident.
There are no reliable records of any production quantities being built.

Description: As the end of the Second World War approached the designers at Taylorcraft decided to develop a tourer version of the robust and reliable Taylorcraft Auster Model J AOP.V observation aircraft series. An Auster 5, registered G-AGOH, was modified to take a 100 hp (75 kW) Blackburn Cirrus II engine for trials. At the same time a prototype aircraft was built designated the Taylorcraft Auster V Series J/1 Autocrat. The long name was not used as the company changed name to Auster Aircraft Limited and the aircraft became known as the Auster J/1 Autocrat.
The designation J/1 derived from the progenitor Model J, which was the Auster AOP.V

Have a zip for the J5B Autocar and also one for the J5B Autocar Gypsy. Cannot see any difference. There is also a J5B Autocar Lycoming, so presume the 'Gypsy' was added to differentiate? Will upload the 'gypsy' and the 'lycoming' and if anyone knows if the other is actually different will upload later.

Okay, 3 evenings of work, 25 files, 2 duplicates, 1 erroneous texture file, 22 Austers uploaded. Job done.
Now, Mr. Molyneaux, if you would like the rest of your files preserved her, I'd be more than glad too, just give me a few days to recover, lol.
Thanks Jamie, great job, I noticed you have been on night shift as well, so now you better take a weekend of.
Cheers,
Huub
Thanks Jamie, sorry about the dups. 'Shrug'
Now that the Austers are done.... great pictures of the planes, the originals did not have them. You have become quite the historian..
And, talking about historic things...
I sent you a PM..

Great job.
One of my original files was corrupted, but that is now replaced (Terrier 2)
I also have most of my NZ reg paint jobs intact as well......
Amazing how popular the Austers are, between 50-60 downloads for each of the 22!
Not bad for a sim that is said to be dead!

Even better when you consider that most of us who are interested in this sort of airplane already had them before they were posted here.
Ive been enjoying the WW2 variant's, i'd forgotten they existed, so a big thanks to Dave and to you for uploading here
