Virtavia: More older Alphasim titles to be released as freeware

[KellyB]

Just saw a thread over at CalClassics about the B-36 and how most of the files got trashed in the Avsim hack.
Apparently they don't plan anything for FS9 but are hinting at an FSX revival, which is too bad for us CPU challenged.

So I wondered if anyone has their B-36, and whether Virtavia/Avsim would object to its being made available here?

Everyone should have a B-36, after all.

Yeah Skywarriors been up there for a while now I think same goes for the B-66 destroyer

Knew about the B-66, just never saw the Skywarrior there before. Didn't worry me because I already had it, I used to get most Alphasim releases as soon as they emerged.

I think the MiG-23 includes the original gauges. I'm surprised because they are a nice xml based
set and Phil talked about holding them back. Might be wise to grab them if even vaguely interested.

Also I think the Lynx has been requested for quite some time.

Yes, the Lynx has in deed. The Futrue Lynx should not be alone.

@AndyG43 - Alphasim did an older Skywarrior. That one was up for free. Don't know if the new reference is to the newer one Virtavia was selling or not.

Found the Avro Arrow, MiG-23 and the Lysander, anything else I've missed?

Edit: Fulll ist:

Avro Vulcan (FS9)
CF-105 Arrow (new) (FS9, FSX)
Ju87D Stuka - includes
Ju87 G-1 Tankbuster (FS02, CFS2, FS9)
LUN Ekranoplan (FS9, FSX)
Westland
Lynx AH7 - includes AH9, HAS3 and HMA8, sounds (FS02, FS9)
Westland Lysander
- includes Mk1, Mk3A, TT3, sounds (FS02, FS9)
MiG-23 (FS9)

Oh, good! I've been hoping they'd free up the Lysander; always been fond of that airplane

Thanks Virtavia! As always, your generosity is most appreciated.

I've always had an unwritten agreement with Alphasim/Virtavia. For every three freeware they give up, I always try and pick up a payware from them. After getting the Skyray and the Neptune for Christmas, I'm going to have to look and see what else tickles my fancy.

Michael Pearson did a load of Flogger paints, for this model, Itosan's and the Iris MiG-27; about 8 pages worth at Avsim.

Found a repaint pack for the Arrow over at Avsim by Pierre Lheureux; two real and five fictional RCAF paints, and also two paints for the Ekranoplan.

I know what you mean. I bought the Neptune and Sea Vixen during that sale thay had over Christmas.

Looking forward to grabbing the Vulcan and Lysander.

Still hoping that Virtavia will make their FS9 F-8E Crusader available again. Freeware is nice but payware's OK too, I don't care. I didn't have FS9 when they released it and when I finally got it the 'Sader was off the market.

[johnr]

I think that deserves a massive thanks

Alphasim has always been 'my payware brand' and the Vulcan was the first aircraft that I ever bought, it's almost a shame to see it retired

Thanks again chaps
