Flying Stations Buccaneer S.1 and S.2 - awesome payware models at a great price...

Their ships are freeware, as are some of their aircraft (their Wyvern is to die for). Check out the 1960 refit Victorious - simply outstanding, and there's a mid-60s version coming soon. Their payware Hawker Sea Fury is also top notch.

At one point, ages ago, there was talk of an FGR/J/K Phantom model, taken over from another modeller, for future development. No idea where that's at though.

But their existing stuff is really good.

Thanks. Didnt know about this site. I d/led the Wyvern. Very interesting aircraft! Pilots notes say this thing will do ovre 400 kts, but I have yet to get it much above 300. I also find the reflective cockpit glass is too reflective. I'll have to see if I can monkey around with that. I prefer a clearer glass.

Thanks for this!

Yes, I'd love a cockpit glass fix too - that's the only thing I find a bit annoying about the model. I always wondered if it was "just my PC".

While it's true with any aircraft, most especially so with this aircraft, esp when coming aboard a carrier, the fuel state is super critical. Too heavy, and the sink rate is unmanageable, too light, and the fwd-shifted centre of gravity leaves the elevators with very little authority. Compounded by that super long nose, hands down, at least for me, the hardest plane to land on a boat. Of course, it could very well be poor airmanship on my part ...

. I also do curved & crabbed approaches, to maximize my view of the boat, again, likely a cheater/dummy way to do it, but I need every ounce of help.

Which makes it all the more satisfying when I am able to trap ...

... and since this is a screenshot thread, here's a couple (not mine - Fraser/Sketchy's, hope he doesn't mind ...)

Believe it or not, this model, and the Vertigo Studios Panther, which came out at around the same time, are what pushed me over the edge to migrate from FS9 to FSX, around New Year, 2009 ... my how time flies ...

Some nice De Havilland Tiger Moth shots. This is Ants bird.

Sorry for the size of this image. Just thought it looked better bigger.

Fokker lost in bad weather somewhere over France:

Nice Ferry, where did you download that one

Something different than a green world and blue sky

Beautiful Moth by the way!

Straight out of sim. Bomber12th does amazing texture work on his pilots.

Eric,

I believe she is part of the standard P- 51 Flight Leader purchase.

Fall color flight, enjoying the colors while they still remain (before everything turns white!). Flight was around Lake Minnetonka (west of the Twin Cities).
