Plane... well that would be
 
Two great choices Paul!

I don't nearly have as many Alphasim aircraft in FsX as I do in Fs9, but here are some favourites:

I only have the Hunter and Tornado and both are planes I would recommend.

I may have to try the Grippen though, that's a cool aircraft and the He111 and Do217 are tempting as well.

Wish they'd release their Jaguar soon, that would be perfect for zooming around PNW at low level.
 
Apart from the B-24, I liked everything I bought from Alphasim. I downloaded the FSX port-overs too, including the B-47, B-36, XB-70, Blinder, B-58, Halifax/Halton, Victor and Hampden. Just done another fresh install of FSX, so its time to revisit them.

I'm tempted by the Do-217 as well, but it would be a port-over for FsX and I don't know how it works?

The B-36, Victor, Blinder and Valkyrie had native FsX versions, maybe the B-47 as well. The B-58, Halifax and Hampden are Fs9 port-overs.

Hope to see the B-36 and Victor become avilable again someday, free- or payware!

Ah, thanks for that. They are sitting on a CD and I'd pretty much forgotten the relevant details. Certainly the Hampden had the usual prop texture issues and a non-clickable VC, but is still worth having as its probably the only Hampden we'll ever see in FSX.

Hi Paul

This was always Alphasim's strength - they often made aircraft that no-one else has done or probably will do.

Granted the VCs in particular do not warrant any comparison with the best available now, but if you really want a certain aircraft, then they have perhaps filled an important gap.

Also, all credit to them for the older aircraft that they have made available as freeware.

Cheers

Paul
 
I've got loads of them although I haven't bought one for ages. I always liked the easy to use paint kits so you could paint what ever you liked.
 
A few more Alphasim aircraft in my FsX:

The Grumman Albatros:

The freeware native FsX Bell Cobra:

One of my very favorites; the Osprey:

The Harvard, with photoreal repaint and updated VC textures:

I´m very interested in the updated VC textures of the Harvard.
Would you please be so kind and send them to me?The paint too,please.
Thank you
Michael
 
Mike, look for 'spat6.zip' at Flightsim.com by Pablo Diaz; it includes both the Spanish AF paint and the VC textures.
 
This might be a good place to ask again, has anyone besides me had trouble with the S-55 VC? The textures are not being applied to my panel. At first I thought it was an issue with SP2/Accel but everyone else still seems to be using it fine. I asked a few weeks ago in another thread but it was flooded off the first page and interest lost before I got it resolved :(

My readme says it is v2.2 for FSX and I seem to have all the files, I can even see the dash textures in the folders. Just not in game..
