Cr1-Freeware-Fs9

***Tom@Cr1-Software*** · November 19th, 2011, 11:11

Hello.

There are many releases coming up from Cr1-Software soon. I took over SimtechFlight Design A few years ago and with it came all the older SimTech planes I was involved with back in the Simtech days. At that time I said I would re-release the old projects in much higher-better running editions. By the end of this year with fingers crossed they will all be re-issued to the community as freeware. You will only be able to get them from the Cr1-Software Web site and I will do the same level of customer service on them as I do with my payware.

Last week I released back to the community the Rata I-16 and the Dornier Do 335Edition 1.

This week I am attempting to released back to the community the revamped Fokker Dr1 in 23 liveries. Then the Handly Page Hp 400 ww1 bomber in one livery.
Then I will release to the community the Beech 17 Edition 1 and the La7 Edition 1. The P39 Air cobra is the only model I never worked on originally and the one in the most need of a up grade. If I can't up grade it to the standards I have set for Cr1 then I will build you a brand new one for fs9 and release it to the community as freeware.
As for the Do 335 Cfs 2 Edition I can make a few adjustments to get it into Cfs2 if you think it would be worthwhile. The Fsx Do 335 is still under development and will be of extreme detail and quality and will not be freeware.

I hope this answers some of your questions.

Thank you for the privilege to post.

Tom,

Thanks for your updates to the old Simtech birds. I just got the little Polikarpov installed for some touring about Russia.

I'm sure that the CFS 2 Faithful would definately like to have the updated Do 335 for the Senior Sim. I still use the old one in my ETO installation from time to time, but I would enjoy a new one. As you remember, the CFS 2 planes benefit greatly from a multi-res model.

Thanks for the input. I still have the original cfs2 files so I can re-edit them to make a far better edition of the Do335 for Cfs2. Bear with me please as this one will have to wait till the end of the fs9 revamp schedule. As I'm just a one man operation here with the occasional visitor..so it takes me a bit to get the work load done. Any liveries you think would be needed just let me know, I will do my best to do them as accurately as possible for you.

Thanks for your support!

Thank you very much for your generosity. I look forward to trying out these classics. I downloaded the Rata I-16 and liked it. I thought the video was pretty good also.

Wholeheartedly I say a major thank you to you Tom for your generosity. CFS2 lives on...and on and on...

Thanks Tom. You've always made great stuff for FS. Still have the P-39 installed in FS9 and fly it from time to time. And your new stuff for FSX is just as I expected - great!

***Matt Wynn*** · November 19th, 2011, 16:13

yay! Dreidecker improvements... just to agree and echo the others, many many thanks!

Thanks for the info, Tom. Certainly a lot to look forward to. Especially, in my case at least, the re-release of the Beech Staggerwing. Absolutely one of my all time favorites.

Hi Tom,

I very much like the Do335 by Simtech and still fly it in CFS2. When you have time in your schedule for a Do335 update, I surely am interested. Thank you for the consideration, and for all your sim work and contributions.

Best Regards,
O

+1 on the staggerwing.
Just installed the original v1 last night after many months of trying to find enough free drive space, and love it.
...That is when the tailgear doesn't collapse on engine start.

MANY thanks for the awesome Simtech products over the years.

I would be all for a new CFS2 version!

Finally had time yesterday to try out the Do-335 and like it a lot.
One small correction required, in the interest of being correct in every sense would be to the warning decal for the ejection seat.

The word for explosive charge in German is Sprengladung ... Just a minor typo to be sure. Just thought I'd let you know for your continued work on a FSX model or possible FS9 update.

Cheers
Stefan
