'Aeroplane Heaven' closing, but freeware stays available for now

Don't know if this has been posted before

Announcement here ------> http://www.aeroplaneheaven.com/

From what I read in other forums, Bazzar is staying as a payware developer tho, working for one of the publishing houses.

I noticed this a while back, when I went to re-download the Irish Spit 9-T. It'd been almost a month or so since then.

I hate to hear this. Aeroplane Heaven has a long history with SOH. Their Spitfire XIX is still my favorite Spitfire.

I wish Baz and the guys at AH the best!
 
I think that my first payware aeroplane (for CFS 2) was from Aeroplane Heaven. Their FS 9 P-38 is probably one of my all time favorite sim aircraft.

Baz and his crew have always been great supporters of the Out-House and the flightsim community.

I wish them the best.
 
Nice shots, Willy. I have that Griffon Spit Pack of their's too, but I'm partial to the "Whale Tail" variants. The last Spit was the F.24... pretty much a "Spitful" by that time. I have the demo of the AH P-38 only, but I'm flying all of those late model F4U Corsair "Hogs" with a big smile on me face! :mixedsmi:

I searched the AH freeware site and could not find a Mk.I Spit.

Am I correct in assuming it was a PAYWARE offering which is no longer available?

I think it was part of their payware Spitfire packs. I've got them somewheres on a cd. The only one that I've kept installed was the Mk XIX.
 
The mkI that is released for CFS2 is an old model, pre the Spitfire pack. I believe it dates from the old CFS2 and FS2002 BoB pack, which was released as freeware at one point...
 
Everything you need is in Morton's download, except a sound folder. Model, panel, gauges, and airfile, along with common textures are in the 'Common AC files' folder.
 
WOW, PF!!!! Thank you for that tidbit. :salute::salute::icon29::guinness::medals:

Excellent timing! :icon_lol:

Not having the Mk.I, I was just getting ready to delete the skin pack.

I'm a bit concerned with this as the AH Spitfire packs are still available as payware from Just Flight.

Yes, but the old CFS2 Battle of Britain Pack isn't. The original AH Hurricane and BF-109E packs are excerpts from that pack. The Spitfire Mk.I that Morton is redistributing is of that vintage and is a much more simple model than the one in the Just Flight Spitfire packs.

Having seen the quality of these textures, I admit to having had my concerns too!
This is obviously the freeware CFS2 Spitfire! :)
I have splashed out on the WOP and Real Air Spits, but admittedly this beets them all!
Though not a big fan of 'photoreal' paint jobs, these are just fantastic!
I want to fly them all at once :)

Thanks Morton for this fabulous addition...:jump:

Very nice set-up Stuart, mate!

Would this be the same Spit that Justflight were giving away with some of their payware models?

If so, I'm proudly sitting out there on the tarmac buddy, honoured to fly as your wingman.:jump:

Hey! Good to see you back Nigel!

This has been released as freeware by AH, I don't know about the JF publications.
Saying that, JF did give away an additional AH 'Mossie' with the old Lancaster package!
Whatever it might be, it's great! The new 2D cockpit compensates for the less than perfect 3D view. Nice to see a widescreen configuration, and not having 'egg shaped' gauges.
I'm only using a simple sound file, as it sounds like the most genuine and doesn't need any .air or .cfg alterations. (Copied from A.F.Scrub's Spit 7).

I would love to go on a sortie with you, patrolling Beachy Head - and dropping in to the 'Tiger' for a pint! :icon29:

Good to see you too buddy!

Lanc, Mossie...???...rotten sods didn't give me one...:icon_eek:

Beachy Head it is then!

Race yer to Rye, pick up a year's supply of the world's best brownies from an old cake shop there, then the pint's on me!:icon29::guinness:

...and a bottle of tizer for Matt when he turns up.:icon_lol:
