sweet been waiting for this! :applause: :applause: :applause:

Ah, a true Put Put for FSX! Love the sound of the Popjoy engine! I have been following this project with some fascination because Paul designed it en total with 3 D Canvas Pro. He even wrote his own export module to get it into FSX. I think he is the only one using this program for FS. (But might not be the last). 3 D Canvas Pro is used extensively by the MS Train Sim designers where Paul is highly respected. Hope this is not his last FS project.

Cheers, Paul

It's always interesting to see developers bringing new tools into the mix. Plus, that's a great looking old birdie. :salute:

Really great choice of aircraft, love those old crates!!!:jump:

The next one is already started.
I'm stuck in the 1914-1935 era so expect more of a similar age.

Monocoque II perhaps? :bump:

[anatolpopov]

This looks cool

[Lateral-G]

I saw the header and I thought it was the deHavilland jet :engel016:

Looks nice though.

Yet another lovely freeware model that captures not only the look of the thing but also the spirit and character of the inter-war years. Bar my schoolboy obsession with all things WWII and big-propped, this is my favourite period in aviation history. The Swallow is just perfect for a sunny summer evening's jaunt around Old Warden, or anywhere else really.

I was amused by the name of the engine - the Pobjoy Cataract - until I remembered that 'Cataract' could also mean a waterfall.

Bring it on! You will note a lot of my projects are from the same time frame.

Go on Paul give them a hint ;)

It will be another corker for F s9 and FSX . And PutPut ---- it will suit you to a tee ;)

Leif

by the way for those who dont get to the FS9 forum much

DaveMoly has just released his Auster Alpine for Fs9 at ww.classicbritishfiles.com

[decapod]

OK, a little hint... Here's the start of the engine model. A US design, licence built in the UK.

If you still have FS9 loaded, I'd recommend downloading all of the Austers at classicbritishfiles.

[PutPut]

That looks suspiciously like the start of an Aeronca E-113 engine which was licensed to JAP in the UK. Are we doing the Aeronca C-3?

Cheers, Paul

[Naki]

A Taylorcraft Plus C??

[decapod]

Some of you may be experiencing problems selecting anything but the first livery.

I think I may have found the culprit...

In aircraft.cfg, use notepad to remove any text following:

atc_id_color=

In the first 5 liveries.

Let me know if it fixes it for you and I'll let other sites know.

Many thanks-found the link to that page before-but did not notice the link to the downloads!

[Mejborn]

I think it would be a good idea to edit the first post and make a link that works to the download of this beautifull bird.
I have tried several links and surfed around for a while now and havent found a swallow.
I will patiently wait.

[Naismith]

It is here

https://decapod99.wordpress.com/2010/01/27/fsx-ba-swallow-has-flown-out-of-the-door/

scroll down to the comments section there is a link to a onedrive file in fact this might work

https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=6B528339820717E%21406

if not that is the line to look for in the comments.


Just tried the above and it works - it takes you to a page of various files. Swallow is there along with an updated cfg file.

[Mejborn]

Thanks :encouragement:
