The page outage is probably temporary and I believe he's still slowly working on a P3D only version (with the FSX version now being final).

Very good news! I'm very happy. Thank you!!!

The links in this thread are not loading for me either.

I just found what looks like an older version of the Draken, for FS2004, but according to the post it also works in FSX.

A search on Simviation for "Draken" results in quite a few different packages, including some from Thomas Nilsson (Bookmark).

That's best avoided. The FSX-native product is completely different to any previous version.

**menef** · February 3rd, 2016, 02:43

Some news : the version available at Simviation is 4.0 - but the latest is the 4.1.2 - I've managed to dwld it at the Bookmark site, but in a complicated way :

1 - Google search : Draken FSX
2 - Scroll down up to something like " AVSIM FORUMS Saab Draken "
3 - Open and there's a link to the Bookmark download page.
4 - Register (free) - they send you the Pasword.
5 - Log-in and from there you can access the download page !!!!!!!

Just downloaded and I'll try later

**menef** · February 3rd, 2016, 02:54

Meanwhile some pics of the version 4.0 - IMO it's not bad :

Yes it is. It was out of line just when I was looking for this bird ( I didn't know about Bookmark Simumations up till few days ago )

**dhazelgrove** · February 4th, 2016, 06:09

An earlier version of this also came with an Austrian model/panel, with a load of Austrian skins - all now sadly lacking.

I really hope that someone will make an Austrian paint even if the model&panel are not exactly as the actual Austrian Draken

**JensOle** · February 4th, 2016, 12:37

Its a great model of a great aircraft, but we need some new HD textures. I'll see if I can get going into making new master textures.

That'd be great.....the paint kit's not my fave style to work with....I prefer Piglet's ones - hence my doing high-res vers of a few of his kits....

Hello menef,
I've tried what you mentioned above a few days ago and unfortunately I still have no news from bookmark...

**DaveQ** · February 4th, 2016, 22:25

Here's a simple import from version 3.2 for FS9 that contained the Austrian model and paints. All I've done is file-name changes and a new roundel on 'fsx_detail.dds'. But the whole thing needs re-doing to get a good clean exterior. Sadly the Austrian model does not port well and needs to be converted to FSX. Any volunteers???
