    Currently D/Loading the bird. Given its configuration I wonder how similar it was in handling characteristics to the GeeBee racers?

    Is that not the Simtech Rata by Crashwoody from several years ago?

    Yes it is.

    Apparently Tom Wood (Crashwoody) formerly of SimTech fame is now CR1-Software, or at least a part of it.

    His old SimTech Do335 is on the site too.

    The Rata has been available from the Sky unlimited website for free for many moons now. That is if the SU site is still there, haven't seen Cerb round here for donkeys.

    CR-1 re-vamped the Do-335 for FS9 and offered it as a donationware model some time ago. It had some nice improvements over the older SimTech Do-335, but it is the same model. The newer plane has much nicer skins, revised flight dynamics, a new sound file and changes to the panel.

    I am thinking maybe he has done some work on the I-16 Rata now? Out with the old, in with the new....

    The Do 335 has also just been released as freeware.

    AndyG43, is there a good 2d panel for the 335?

  10. #10
    Fairly sure there is an Erwin Welker panel over at Flightsim.

    The Revamped Do-335 is very nice, IMHO. A while back, I gave them a tidy sum of cash for the 335, when it was donationware. Felt the cause was worth the effort. :salute:

    I wonders what happened to their P-39?

    After several hours of attempts, using multiple versions of MkMDL, this plane continually crashes CFS2 when selected in the Aircraft view of Free Flight.

    No big deal, but I just wonder why ?

    from the cr1 website Dornier page: "Set for FS-2004 (FS9) only."

    As for the P-39... it's been discussed, both as a revamp for FS9 and as a possible 'dark side' new build. Then again, peace in the Middle East has been discussed too

    Hi SC,

    there is a CFS2 native version of SIMTECH Dornier 335 that was released as freeware as well, but right now I don't know where to get it (maybe it was in the now gone SIMTECH site).

    Here there are a few pics

    If you can't find it, I could open a thread in the CFS2 section and upload it somewhere for a limited time.

    Thanks for the H/U anyway, PF.

    When I was growing up the Airacobra was my favorite warbird, took a lot of reading to convince me it wasn't as hot as it looked.

    I'd love to see a new P-39, I'd even pay for a new P-39. Sadly, if there ever is one it'll probably be FSX only.

    The SimTech model is pretty nice given its age. Even the vc is fairly well detailed.

    Thanks JL - I actually DO have that one in my archive - you can find it at the following SimTech link as one huge d/l or (4) smaller Zip files:

    http://simviation.com/fs2004vintage47.htm

    I was just hoping to use the great textures of this new plane.... Oh Well.

    Thanks again

    SC


    srgalahad -
    Just because it SAYS 'FS2004 only' doesn't always MEAN it won't convert....~

    SC --

    If you're referencing the revamped Do-335 textures on the original simTECH model, you could always give it a go and see where you get. To the best of my knowledge... they should fit just fine. Reason I say this is because Morton has done some exquisite repaints for the original simTECH Do-335 which fit the CR-1 revamped Arrow perfectly. I am currently running the CR-1 Do-335 with all of Morton's repaints, originally done for the simTECH model, in FS9 no problems.

    Just a thought,

    I did the flight dynamics for the FS9 RATA, and developed most of it in FSX. I don't know if this is the same aircraft or not. Should be a very manuverable but unstable flier. An effective fighter in expert hands.

    Hello all.
    Thanks for downloading the Rata. The Rata is a little different than the one at the other locations you have mentioned. Mostly internally, I went through it with a hex editor and fixed all the redundant problems and cleaned up the model a little bit and added in some small adjustments here and there. I have not reworked the out standing Air model that Tom Falley made.

    I will have much more freeware to give you soon, stay tuned.
