Anthony Releases Freeware Tiger Moth!!

Just a funny side note, my photobucked account warned me today that I've already used 89 procent of this months bandwidth (10GB). That's because all the screenies of my paints have had such a huge amount of viewers here and at aussiex.org. This is the first time it happened and I've used photobucket for four years:icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:.

So one could easily think this plane is a huge hit

Sweet, uhmm.. jetstream can I ask you if you can also upload it to the OZx library please? Or if you do not want to register give me permission to do it for you please?
 
Last April, I went for a flight in G-AHOO in formation with eight other moths - I guess it has been an inspiration to make the moth my favourite aircraft, being the first aeroplane I ever flew.
I would really love to see some of the Tiggies I flew with take shape in FSX. Bushpilot has already kindly done G-AHOO for me. If anyone has enough time, or enthusiasm for Ant's wonderful moth - I'd love to see any one of these beautiful machines to be repainted:

It's a lot to ask, and call me lazy - but I am 15 and just don't have the time with school and exams etc... I would if I could, but my repainting skills are primitive and I get about as far as repainting the RealAir Spitfire and I'm out of my depth.
It would mean a lot to me to relive my flights in G-AHOO - and I would gladly pay money to see all of these aeroplanes take to the skies in FSX.
 
I hope someone does those repaints for you, now get back to school! :salute:
(And yes I'm jealous of you flying one of those, it must have been great!)
Nice pics too!
 
Oh well Peter 'I+d love to see any one of these beautiful aeroplanes appear on the sim. Maybe one day when i've enough time and no bl***y homework I'll settle down and give some of these a crack.
- Yes this was terrfic fun. The owner of G-AHOO leads his plane in fully Tiger-Moth display team "The Tiger Nine" - that perform at airshows across the UK. He was practising at his private airstrip in Wiltshire last April and rung up my farther at 8 in the morning and asked if I wanted a flight. My my dad told me - I pretty much exploded with excitement.
Their typical nine-ship display routine is as follows,

All aircraft take-off in 3 groups of three and form up - holding off for eight minutes approx. First run-in at 3 hundred feet in diamond nine shape. Second pass at 200 feet, then line up opposite corwd line. The formation reaches 90 knots, then does a 9-ship bomb-burst, a really impressive spectacle. The individual aircraft then make independant passes at 100 feet along the crowd-line, often with a wing-wobble. Sometimes, once all aircraft but G-AHOO have landed it commences a solo aerobatic routine, of a stall-turn, loop etc..
I'm glad to say I've been in the front seat whilst doing this. The feelings were incredible.
 
Great stuff Rowdy, I had a ride in Tiger Moth when I was about your age and have never forgotten it...unfortunately I can't remember the ZK rego.

Heres a very interesting scheme for one of our local Tiger Moths:

I don't think this one has been done yet... I hope to upload it along with C-GMTH this weekend. There are a few more details to finish and some errors to correct.

Still hoping this repaint will become available - such a classy paint! Mike :applause:
 
Awesome plane and amazing screenshots...


Goodness Pekka, what kind of rig has that kind of resolution???? At least on Rogers, I can detect that its possibly a flight simulator. New Graphics Card?

G-AHAN, as this was requested: http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=1050

VH-BSD, this was in real life one of those canopy Tigers: http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=1051

I'll check if I can do that orange tiger stripe scheme at some point.

Hehe, nothing special, still my oldish rig, but having a 23" widescreen monitor helps a lot ;) And if you want sharp grass like in my shots, try this: http://realenvironmentxtreme.com/forum/index.php?topic=2167.0
 
Anyone fancy doing my favorite ? G-AOGS -- Silver and Post Office red - the last Tiger owned by Luton Flying Club....and the first Tiger I ever flew in -- only problem is - it DID have the Spin Strakes.


Also the three London Gliding Club tugs based at Dunstable in the mid 60s.

G-AKXS,G-ANFC and G-AOEL - all had neat Esso stickers on the tail that read "When Tow Ropes Fail use Tigers Tail" and FC and EL had the little
tiger tail give aways that Esso gave attached to the interplane struts.

Wasn't G-ANFM the Tiger Club's 'The Cardinal' or 'The Bishop'? That would be a nice one to have.

I have a repaint of G-ANFM about 99% completed. I just have to decide where to upload now that SOH is down for a bit. I have a few other T-Moth paints ready as well.
