Fieseler Storch

[robert41]

Anyone have Mike Werner's Storch from SimMarket? Thinking about getting this one. How does it fly?

[Willy]

Don't know about that one, but Piglet's Storch flies pretty good.

[Lionheart]

Wow.. This is wierd. I was flying around North Africa in Tims Storch late last night.. Couldnt sleep and had just read a cool story on a German vet celebrating his birthday, pilot in WWII of a Storch. He was telling some cool stories on it. I think its in the new issue of the EAA magazine.

What an awesome plane and incredible airfile.

[robert41]

Yep, got Tim's Storch. Excellent plane, been flying her quite a bit lately. Just wondering about any other versions.

[Roger]

I used the Cfs2 version's mdl file in the Fs9 folder after renaming it to the same as the Fs9 mdl and you have the rear machine gun visible. It's a super mdl but unfortunately won't port to FsX.

[Cazzie]

Piglet's Storch has been on every FS since 2002. It was the first plane I even landed on a carrier! :d

Won't work in FSX, Piglet's going his plane for that now, maybe an FSX version soon.

Sure it does, like all the rest of his planes do:jump:

don't be put off by the Morane-Saulnier tag, as production of the Storch was transferred to the french during WWII by the german high command, so that
Fieseler works could concentrate on building Bf109's and developing the V1

One of my favorites......

I e-mailed him a while back and ask if he was going to update it for FSX; he said he is no longer involved in flightsim modeling.....

Just downloaded the Moran 500 package...and looking forward to adding another round engine flier to my CFS2 collection.

Glad to see modelers like Tim "Piglet" Conrad and few others have done this model already. Watching the real Fieseler Storch is impressive to say the least. Personally I got to see it in flight during the October open house up at the CF's headquarters in Stow. Anyways here's a few pics of the Collings Foundation's own Fieseler Storch from past open house events.

Small plane BIG wings!!!

Daniel

[Lionheart]

Great Photos! I love that thing.

I had the chance to see one in person when I was a kid. What a huge bird. They look small, but are actually quite tall and spread out. The landing gear is very wide, and the canopy greenhouse structure is HUGE. The wings are also pretty sophisticated, with all their various wing foil systems and brackets. The cowling, when you see it in person, is also quite 'different'. It has a wierd sort of 'catfish' mouth opening where you can see the inverted V-engine block in there.

Wild planes....


Note: Stall speed, 25MPH.

Nicely restored Storch! And an intact 88! WOW! (drooling right now!) What two great pieces of history! Thanks for the pics.

Lionheart, could you tell me were you got that cool desert camo for the Storch. Can not find the paint any place.

[Cees Donker]

Lionheart, could you tell me were you got that cool desert camo for the Storch. Can not find the paint any place.

It's in the package itself if I'm not mistaken. BTW: looking at the screenshots by Bill, I reckon this bird could use a bit of fine tuning of the contactpoints! The tailwheel has completely gone underground!

:wavey:

Cees

[Cees Donker]

This should do the trick:

point.0 = 1, -18.928, 0, -1.97, 2574.8, 0, 0.45, 45, 0.25, 2.5, 0.88, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
point.1 = 1, 2.508, -5.437, -7.100, 1574.8, 1, 0.9, 0, 0.294, 2.5, 0.88, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0
point.2 = 1, 2.508, 5.437, -7.100, 1574.8, 2, 0.9, 0, 0.294, 2.5, 0.88, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0

I changed these values in the contactpoints.

Hey RayRey,

It came with the package, featured here at SOH. There are two packages, try both. One should have it. (I think one was for FS2002 and 2004, and one was FS2004 only with updates, I downloaded the updated FS2004 package).


Thanks Cees for the update on the landing gear contact points.



I love how on that footage, the real ones landing gear would fully compress down. HUGE amount of gear travel. Very impressive. Like a bug or a bird coming down from the sky. The first film had me cracking up. The thing in the hands of an expert was like an autogyro! Making it turn and fly at only 25 or 30 MPH is amazing.

Tim's Fs2004 Storch: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.php?lloc=downloads&loc=downloads&page=info&FileID=552

The other pack's the CFS2 version.

Two additional civilian textures: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.php?lloc=downloads&loc=downloads&page=info&FileID=565

I found some more textures for this aircraft at Flightsim.com.

Edit: Gunther Kraemer's Me-108 has some pretty decent sounds and IIRC it uses the same Argus engine type as the Storch.

Thanks for that Ferror, I never gave it a thought.:sleep: I shall make it so.

[Cazzie]

Cees, the North Africa texture was in the default package, three others are listed in the aircraft.cfg, but the textures must be downloaded in a separate package.

Get the 1928 gauge package along with the newer 2-D panel and VC panel. Follow the installation for the new panels to a tee or you'll botch it like me the first time! :banghead:

And by all means, if you have Günter Kraemer's wonderful Me-108B-1, either alias the Storch sound file to it or copy and paste the Me-108 sounds to the Storch's Sound folder. It is much more real for the Argus engine, sounds delightful. Thanks a bunch Ferry! :applause:

Here's one of those USGS (United States Geologic Service) Idaho strips, named Fish Lake.

Does anyone know if Tim released a paint kit for the Storch? I searched hi and lo at FlightSim and found kits for about everything he's done but the Storch!

I have done a repaints for it several years ago, but it was crude. Layered textures make the whole job so much easier.

I want the Stork or Saulnier 505 with TUNDRA TIRES. That would be an awesome Bush Plane.

Cazzie, Looked by the Piglet Storch file didn't see the 1928 gauge or newer panels ...can you point me in the right direction :kilroy::ernae:

Never could get the metric gauge/panels to work completly. But the new cfg file in the vc package seems to fly better. Another sound I use is Bill Lionheart's Buckner sound file.
