Bruno Duffort's aircraft

[Finn]

Anybody who knows where to find Bruno Duffort's AVG Pack p-40's? Simviation have just one, no 47 but there should be 7 of them. I know that mr. Duffort sadly chose to close down his exelent site in protest of the Iraq war, but has he ever put back those excellent planes on the net again?

I have his Br2-P51, BSK Maryland, BSK MosquitoNFII_V4, BSK Mossie, and BSK_Spits. I might have others on my external HD.

Devildog73,

BSK is "our" Bruno (Escarvage?) here at SOH.

Bruno Duffort had a major blowup with the flightsim community and yanked his stuff off the net a long time ago. I don't think he would approve uploads at all, and I doubt he's even reachable anymore. It was before my time.

I would wait and ask for someone with longer standing than I. Bearcat, Talon, or Jagdflieger might know.

Man, the good ole days of cfs2 and Netwings (aka CFS2online). I remember when this all went down, alot of dirty laundry was put out to wash that day. I know i have most of his planes on cd somewhere (including all the p-40's) but i have know idea where those cd's are now:isadizzy: I'll need to do a little recon mission this weekend to see if i can find them.

I have, and still fly his Yak-9s, P-38s, Sally, and P-40C. He has/had a very good collection of aircraft. As far as the huge blowup. All I know is that it revolved around the events of 9/11 and the general feeling of the world at the time.


Hope all is well for him.

I have some hope that after my conversation today with Bruno that he will release more (maybe all) of his works soon. I will be posting some hopefully sooner than later. Logistics aside, I am just not sure what he is going to release to me.

Ya'll have a Great Day, Holiday and New Year If I can't make it back here for a day or two.

Superdad helped me with 3 more of Bruno's p-40's, but it certainly would be nice and to the benefit of all simmers if Bruno Duffort gives permission to upload his planes to SOH - even better if he does so himself, best of all if he returns to us. Real geniusses are rare indeed, though we do have a fair share here at SOH (Rami, Talon, Capt. Kurt to name a few)
May I take the opportunity to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Yeah, that's when I originally came to the outhouse ... A difficult time.

Luckily Bruno gave permission to upload his wonderful CFS-2 planes at http://www.thefreeflightsite.com/ where almost all of them can be found - not to mention lots of other goodies. Nice that we now have yet a page to keep this old sim flying. Please support it as well as this.

I remember that time very well. I had more attacks on my system in 2002 than in the rest of my computing life all put together, and I've been using computers since 1981. There were sites I'd see referenced early in the morning on C-SPAN I'd try to visit later in the day and my system would come under immediate attack. I eventually had to have my hard drive professionally formatted. I e-mailed Mr. Duffort two (?) years ago in my passable French, because I wanted to download his CFS2 P-51D, but I never got an answer. Who knows what went on in his electronic world... I do agree it would be great if he resurfaced.

Have you tried CFS2 France?

[Rami]

Devildog,

I hate to tell you this, but CFS France went the way of the telegram.

[Devildog73]

Devildog,

I hate to tell you this, but CFS France went the way of the telegram.

Wowsers! Are we and simviation the only ones left????????

[Rami]

Devildog,

Yeah...SimV, us, Avsim, SimNetwork, and FlightSim.

The attached is a portion of an email I just received from Bruno, The rest was more personal so it's edited.Other portions of this will appear in the Aircraft section of The Free Flight Site. Most People do not realize that Brunos Grandfather was a US Indian Code Talker during WWII, the Axis didn't stand a chance of figuring that one out.
I think we would all like to see him return to the FS world but it seems not. I will ask on his behalve that you do not email his business email, his private email is outthere if you look for it.

I wish all of you along with Bruno; a very Safe , Happy and Productive New Year

I remember when Bruno had all of the P-40 skins posted. I got one for each of the AVG squadrons, but it was back in the day of dial up internet and I didn't have the time to get more than those three (Boyington, Haywood and Older).

Unfortunately, Bruno always had a very strict policy regarding modifications to his planes and did not allow much or any modifications or uploads.

Hey Finn,

I know that mr. Duffort sadly chose to close down his exelent site in protest of the Iraq war, but has he ever put back those excellent planes on the net again?

I don't believe they were ever put back up.

At one time I had 4 or 5 of the AVG P-40s in different paints. I used 'em as AI in FS9. I'll dig around and see what I've got.
