More Alphasim re-releases

Just spotted this: http://www.glowingheat.co.uk/

Anyone else know about this? What is the story here? I thought Virtavia was the old Alphasim reborn.

That's correct AlphaSim became Virtavia, however, glowingheat.co.uk has nothing to do with either.

I am the modeller behind the B-58 Hustler for FS9 and the FS9 and native FSX SR-71 Blackbird. I'm going it alone so to speak for a variety of reasons, none of which are suitable for public airing. I started with AlphaSim back in 2003 and have been around a lot over the years, but I have only released a small number of aircraft.

There may possibly be a new B-58 Hustler for FSX at some point in the future now that it looks like FSX has extra life left in it.

Regards,

David.

This is great news David! My father was stationed at Grissom AFB (Bunkerhill AFB) when the B-58 was deployed there. He use to take me to the shop and see all the encapsulated ejections seats.

Made this FSX video sometime ago to honor my father.

After making this video, several comments requested this model.

Don't know what to tell you. I just watched it embedded for a second time.

Since you can still buy new copies of FS9, I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that a person will be able to buy new copies of FSX for years to come. Years.

So, keep those models coming.

A possible B-58 for FSX? Make my year.

Will do my best Sundog. It's such a gorgeous looking plane!

Thats a great video, good tribute. There's something very intriguing in having four pylon mounted engines slung beneath a delta. Not a common configuration.

David.

Thanks for this update on the Hustler David. At the risk of highjacking the thread, I did a series of new detailed 2048 x 2048 textures for this some time back in anticipation of a new FSX version, but assumed the project had been shelved. Would be great to see it back on.

Best regards

Thanks for the compliment! When Bunkerhill AFB had a open house, they would fly two B-58's and a KC-135. Loudest aircraft I have ever heard. Plus, seeing those four afterburners lighting up was just awesome!!!
