Alphasim A-3 Skywarrior?

Good question. Can't find it anywhere.

Maybe it'll pop up at the store on Flightsim.com at one point. They have been adding ex-Alphasim payware for a while now.
 
Yeah, I'm not really sure what they updated for the FSX version. I owned the FS9 release, and excitedly bought the FSX version when it came out. After all, they'd done nice native FSX upgrades of the B-36, F7U, F11F, etc, so I expected this'd be the same style upgrade.

Nope, FS8 SDK, incompatible with DX10. :( Installed it, uninstalled it, and the Zip has sat forlornly on my hard drive since.

I'd sell it to you super-cheap if there was a legal way to do that, but I don't think there really is...
 
Remeber, DX9-only on this one, folks. :( Loved it in FS9, but it was my most disappointing FSX purchase since I run in DX10.

(Prior to its release, AlphaSim had ported many FS9 planes, like the B-36 and F11F, to the FSX SDK, so I made the mistake of assuming they'd done that here.)
 
Well, this one IRL was reputed to be Ed Heinemann's favorite and in FS one I fly and admire a lot. I also bought the FSX "compatible" one -even though I got the FS9 one to port to FSX OK - as I liked the added detail, new models (tanker; electric) and they look great with some of Pierre's dirty paints.
