How is Simon these days? Send him my compliments on the Bristol Freighter
As an aside about the real aircraft. Only British engineers could come up with something that looks like that

Awesome Xmas present thanks François & Simon.
I've been putting together a photographic record of:
All RNZAF B170 Bristol Freighters...

Thanks Francois, hope all is well and say hello to Nina.

Thanks Gary, great collection !!!
Can i get some advice on the autopilot?
There’s pressure in the system, but the master AP switch and the big white lever are both not working.
I’m following the advice on the cockpit placards since the manual doesn’t really mention it at all.
is there likely to be a paint kit?
Replied in email.
Great addition to the hangar Happy to report the A/P's working fine on my install but was wondering if there was a recommended power settings sheet available ? I may have overlooked it but haven't noticed one to date...
TIA
I’ll take that bet, as the Bristol looks perfectly normal compared the C-82, and they were both developed around the same time.

I can’t wait to fly the Bristol when I return from vacation.
With great memories of smoky Aer Turas Bristol Freighters chugging their way around the Dublin ramp and lumbering off the runway in flat shallow climbs, I just had to buy this one on the day of release as a Christmas gift to myself! It's a very welcome addition to my FSX fleet being very well modelled both inside and out with great detail and nice textures. I always feel that good sounds contribute a lot to the sense of immersion of an aircraft and the sound package that comes with this aircraft is very accurate particularly, as I recall, the external sounds (I have never been in the cockpit of a 170 with engines running so I can't really comment on the internal sounds although they certainly also seem very realistic). Having now completed a few hours flying in this, the flight dynamics and handling qualities seem to be as one would expect and I think I have got the hang of the basic Sperry autopilot, although initially I struggled a little to find the correct pitch reference for level flight.
Many thanks to Francois and the team for producing this great aircraft.

Hi Francois, Is your Super Cub P3D v4 compatible?
LouP
Many thanks everybody for your kind and welcome comments, AND for buying our new baby. (Simon's actually working on another aircraft as we speak, so this might just NOT be our last yet).
The paintkit will have to wait a little, but I have asked Simon to provide the files as soon as he can.
Lou, I don't know about the Piper.... it 'should' just work, but Simon only now has found a place where he can test P3D (he doesn't has a copy himself). We'll be working on getting some of the older models adapted IF we can.....
My AP problem was user error. The Master Avionics switch was in “execute standby” mode. I’ve downloaded the pilots manual from avialog. I’ll see if I can find the settings chart.
Settings from the Mk 31 Pilots notes.
nice plane Francois but I have a question about another FSAddon Plane the fieseler storch is it combatible with fsx steam?
