Other Aircraft at Ford Tri-Motor Project site

[GarryJSmith]

Hi Simmers,

Not sure if your aware that the Ford Tri-Motor Project contains not only the Ford Tri-Motor aircraft and texture sets but also many other aircraft and texture sets for the same era. A treasure trove of gems for your Flight Sim entertainment and enjoyment.

In the Other Aircraft (http://www.ford-tri-motor.net/other_aircraft.htm) Listings we have the following that have their own page:

(01) deHavilland DH88 - liveries for the Microsoft Default Aircraft

(02) deHavilland DH80a - aircraft and liveries for Milton Shupe's award winning aircraft - floats, wheels and ski models and lots of texture sets

(03) Lockheed Vega5 - over 200 texture sets for the Microsoft Default Aircraft

(04) MAC Flamingo - large range of texture sets available.

And something even more interesting is that we also have a Miscellaneous Aircraft Page - a secret stash of some other outstanding aircraft and texture sets. (http://www.ford-tri-motor.net/Misc-Aircraft.htm)

Contains:

(01) Dragon Rapide deHavilland DH89a - Floats Aircraft with 40 liveries and paint kit

(02) Dragon Rapide deHavilland DH89a - Wheels Aircraft with 43 liveries and paint kit

(03) Vickers Vimy - two liveries for the Microsoft Default aircraft

(04) Junker F13 - Wheels Version with 20 liveries

(05) Boeing Clipper 314 - Floats aircraft and 4 liveries plus a paint kit

(07) Fleet Freighter 50K - Milton Shupe aircraft - 3 models - Floats, Wheels, Skis, new 2D Panel, 12 liveries and a paint kit

(08) Boeing 221A - Aircraft and 5 liveries

(09) Curtiss Jenny - three liveries for the Microsoft Default Aircraft.

(10) DH89a Wheel and Float models with paint kits only - Plus a small batch of independent texture set for the deHavilland 89a models

There is lots of award winning stuff in the "Other Aircraft" and "Miscellaneous Aircraft" pages that I am sure you will get some great fun out of using - all totally free for your flight sim enjoyment.

Wow Garry! This is going to keep us busy for weeks! What can I say, other than THANK YOU!! :redfire:Your vintage world is just absolutely perfect for filling Bill Lyons great Golden Wings Era version. And to think it's all FREE! Thank You. :applause::applause:

Again, Thank You
Don

And don't forget Ed's help in getting this going. :applause:

Thanks for reminding us... I've made good use of your DH.88 paints!

[GarryJSmith]

Thanks Don for your kind words - yep and it is all for free.

Edward is the driving force for the entire project - he sets the path of what we do with the project - he selects the aircraft and directs the liveries required and plans the scenery that we should work on and I just do the hack work of the painting of the aircraft and building scenery models and scenery for the project.
We are into our fourth year of the Project and Edward has the vision and inclination for much more yet to be done:wavey:

Over that time we have created over 1800 download - including a large range of aircraft and countless scenery packs covering a vast amount of locations throughout the world. Submitted 4 Aircraft packages to PCPilot magazine and achieved the Star Download Award for each of them.

Not too bad for a two man team. :adoration:


Regards and glad your enjoying the fruits of the Ford Tri-Motor Project.

Browsing over your site, Garry... it's incredible just how many historically correct as well as unusual and fictional things there are to look at, and download for flight sim. It's amazing how you have weathered the storm over the years to produce such a resource rich and fun website to go to. :applause:

BTW, Wozza's P-51D with the Steve Irwin Tribute holds a special place in my heart. He was a true champion for wildlife as well as a very knowledgeable WWII Australian History buff. He is missed...

Thanks for all you do, mate.

Thanks for your kind words BB686,

Yes have been tinkering now for over 16 years pumping out Flight Sim stuff - slowly getting better with practice:wavey:

Been more than a couple of storms over that time but aircraft repainting and scenery developing is still very much good fun for me so will keep soldiering on. :applause:

The Ford Project is turning out to be an outstanding resource as well, all focused on the low and slow 1930's era - Edward's ambitions to create this environment has been keeping me very busy for almost 4 years pumping out a massive volume of aircraft, scenery, buildings and historical airfields.

Glad you like the Steve Irwin P51 Tribute on my www.gjsmith.net (http://www.gjsmith.net) site - there is also a P51 Tribute for Peter Brock - one of Australia's best motor sports persons.

Regards and happy simming.
