There's a couple out at AVSIM, but not as many in total as one would think....:kilroy:

There are some repaints at WWW.ClassicBritishfiles.com (http://www.ClassicBritishfiles.com) . With a little tweaking and some homegrown paint, it's become one of my favorite planes. Here's a shot over Glacier Bay.

The Auster isn't bad at all. I learned of the L-19 while browsing here today. Very maneuverable, fun to fly plane.:ernae:

S2004/2002 Cessna L-19E (O-1E) "Bird Dog"

The archive contain two different texture sets, one for an RoKAF L-19E, the other for a Canadian Armed Forces L-19E.

The model has many moving parts: flaps, ailerons, rudder, elevator, steerable tail wheel linked to the rudder, rotating wheels with suspensions, and opening side windows and door.

It has also detailed interior with pilot, and an operating virtual cockpit.

2D panel modified by the original from Brahim Rhoul , is also contained.

Thanks Barry, that's where I found the model, somehow I missed the repaints. Off to get 'em now.

Classic British also has suitable Rearsby scenery for the Auster.

In the USA in the late 1930s, the Taylorcraft company enjoyed considerable success with its Models B, C and D light planes, which were built for private use. They were so successful that the designs were licensed for construction in England by the British Taylorcraft Company. When WWII broke out, the RAF put at least 100 of these aircraft into service as liaison and observation aircraft, under the designation Auster I, powered by a Blackburn Cirrus Minor I engine. The postwar Auster AOP (Air Observation Post) series was derived from the early British Taylorcraft models. The Mk 9, with a 160-hp Blackburn Cirrus Bombardier engine and a bigger wing, appeared in 1955 and remained in service into the late 1960s. Many ex-military Austers are now privately-owned around the world, and are highly prized for their ruggedness and short-field performance. Four kinds of paint examples (white, orage and two of camouflage) are included. By Kazunori Ito.

I've had this one for a couple of years now, and I agree it's superb! There are a good few repaints available for Björn Büchner's version on Flightsim.com.

Just thought I might direct your attention to Classic British Flight Sim's Devlopers forum
There is an Auster Autocrat presently in Beta Test - with the Autocar, etc etc set to appear
behind it - As Dave said - Rearsby scenery was built because Dave Molyneaux was in the
middle of developing the Autocrat so we had somewhere to beta test it - Bjorn Buchners
Mk5 has found something of a Reniassance over at www.classicbritishfiles.com (http://www.classicbritishfiles.com) and The Autocrat
is a happy mix of Dave Molyneaux's GMAX work, Brian Horseys wizardy in Flight data and Don Putnams
excellent CIRRUS sound files (You'll get to use his Gypsy sound file later when the Alpine, Autocar,AOP6,
Antartica,Terrier etc etc are released. For those who prefer flat engines rather than inline the Agricola,
Lycoming powered Terrier will also be released.


Peter Watkins has 114 repaints for the Autocrat lined up -- But here is a hint of whats to come
The Auster Autocrat in beta -1 mode.

Fantastic news! I ran across the Auster series when I happened across a pic of the Antartica at Airliners.net. That's when I started a search to see if any model Auster had been made for FS. I'll be looking forward to your release.

[dhasdell]

Ah - the Antarctica. That Airfix kit must have been among the first with optional parts included. Wasn't the real thing a bit of a one-off, though?

Here's one of the Auster repaints available at Classic British Files (http://www.classicbritishfiles.com/).

[RyDraiggoch]

Sorry to bump this thread up again

But for those of you desiring a correctly engined Auster, David Molyneaux
has just released his Auster Autocrat for fs9 only - over at www.classicbritishfiles.com (http://www.classicbritishfiles.com)

Oh yes and Pete Watkins has already posted a six pack of paints for it
including a nice Australian Blue.

Expect more of the family to appear over there in due time

Sadly, no VC?

[RyDraiggoch]

quote Dandog -- Sadly, no VC?

Umm not sure what you did wrong -- but David's Autocrat has one of the nicest Light aircraft VC's I have flown in a while. I beta'd it -- Oh and before ANYONE asks -- No, the compass on the dash is NOT stuck at 140 - that is a
working True to life fuel gauge -- the compass face is seen on the mirror in top dead center just as it is in the prototype. And for those who havnt tried it yet - we have had three real world Auster pilots who say it is the
cloest thing to real that they have flown in MSFS. Brian Horsey has waved his magic wand over it and got it right.

I couldn't have said it better myself :)

A very realistic aeroplane indeed and yep that is the fuel gauge.

Best wishes to all,

I missed this somehow, off to sort that out right now!!

Many thanks guys!!

Sorry these are in FsX but it's a beaut and with a new prop and some darkened alphas...

Which Prop texture is that?

[Roger]

Which Prop texture is that?

It's a mix'n'match that works well in FsX. If you want it pm me with an e.mail addy and I'll send it.

[T Square]

Hey JD

If you go over to FlightSim and do a search, there are three repaints and a "Repainters Kit" as well.

[RyDraiggoch]

Roger

That looks great, but.....Dave Garwood will be releasing a pure FSX Autocrat in a few weeks - He left some screenies
of G-AGTO at Classic british Flight sim - Like Dave Molyneaux's FS9 version it uses the same incredible Brian Horsey
FDE however both models were built for one version of MSFS.

T-Square
Do you mean there is a paintkit and paints at Flightsim for the Autocrat? I doubt it as to the best of my knowledge only ONE person person has the paint textures to it, besides Dave Molyneaux.

That is great news!

Ry - the paintkit is for the Auster V.

Today I installed the Auster J-1 Autocrat by Dave Molyneaux. :jump:

This is a brilliant model both inside and out.

It's brought back some pleasant memories from way back when I logged time in the real deal.

It flies like I remember and it's going to get heaps of virtual work.

You won't be sorry, it's a fantastic model. www.classicbritishfiles.com (http://www.classicbritishfiles.com/) has a bunch of repaints for it and an alternate air file available.
