You never know............ When Tufun started a thread about upgrading the Grumman F3F-2, suddenly AH came up with a brand new version.

Hopefully my upgrade of the AH Bristol Bulldog will do the same :biggrin-new:. So far I've been working on the textures only. Some of the original gauges don't work in FSX and most of the look very old.

Enjoy the pictures!

The original:



With upgraded textures

 
Ha ha Daan, it doesn't necessarily have to be AH re-doing this model. Perhaps its more something for Golden Age Simulations (to be their first European fighter!) or somebody like Craig Richardson..... Or even perhaps a Tacpac able version by Vertigo ;-))

Cheers,
Huub
 
Ohhh yes please! Mind, the original still doesn't look bad.

Dave the Bulldog in your screenshot is the Alphasim version. The version I'm currently working on is the Aeroplane Heaven one.

The model file is dated 2003. I guess it was of the first payware packages I bought. (The AH Battle of Britain package for CFS2 was the first one.)
 
Great news Huub. I still have my AH Bulldog and look forward to a texture and gauge restoration:ernaehrung004:
 
And for those at the other side of the pond......

In 1929 the US Navy purchased a Bristol Bulldog for evaluation. On October 25, 1929, the Bulldog II (c/n 7358, s/n A-8485) was tested by the US Navy at Anacostia, but during a dive-bombing run, an aileron failed causing the plane to crash and killing the pilot Lt. Cuddihy. After static tests at Filton, a modification was made to the wing and a replacement Bulldog (c/n 7398, s/n A-8607) was sent to the US Navy on February 24, 1930.

This is the Bulldog which crashed.

In Jeffery Quill's book "Spitfire, A Test Pilot's Story", he writes about his experience flying Bulldogs. Apparently it was quite "a hand full" to fly and land well. Very interesting stuff.
