Is there a good freeware Avro Lancaster?

I thought Classic British Flight Sim had one, but I cannot find it.

Failing that, which is the best payware version, the Just Flight or Plane Design version?

Is there a good freeware B17 as well?

Thanks
 
Aerolane Heaven aka Just Flight for the Lanc (buy from AH, it costs less!) and
treat yourself to the SOH 'Donationware' B17, only $15.00 and proceeds go to keeping the site running.
As good or better than A2A aka Shockwave BTW.
:jump:
The A2A Lanc is not as detailed as the AH version but is less FPS hungry.

Dave Garwood did a nice freeware Lancaster, doesn't seem to be up at CBFS, but should be available at Avsim/Flightsim etc.

It might need a bit of tweaking dynamics wise, although I remember it as being pretty reasonable.
 
Oh ya, it's a great little gem. I've done a couple of repaints for it HERE and a soundpack for it called lancsnds.zip at Flightsim.com which uses actual sounds that Des Braban and I recorded from the only two airworthy Lancs in the world. It's a model for Fs2002 but it has an update which makes it functional in FS2004.
 
Thanks for this post, i am flying this plane over in CFS2

but also fly in FS9 and i have a buddy in the UK whose dad was a tailgunner on an Lanc and i fly in honour of him. I found a quad working turret that i hope to figure out how to mount also...

FlightSim Refuses to give that link for that pack no matter what i type in, i am now going thru the 300 plus 2004 sound files one by one....

here is what is I DID find...

bomber1.zip by Mike Hambly, Lanc on a bombing run...requires this file as well: 4MERLINS.ZIP which is FS98 Sounds for a Lanc also by Mike
also found lncsnd1.zip... FS2004 Lanc sound package by Des Braban

FINALLY found it,

Sorry you're having trouble. it's there. Go to Flightsim.com

log in - search file library - " lancaster sound" The page is displayed with my/Des' file right at the top. lancsnds.zip :wave:
 
Dave Garwoods Lancs are great, had them in CFS2 for years, still there infact. For more repaints, check under Sopwith Chameleon here at the OH. There's a few pages there, worth a search through to spot some other real gems. Although for CFS2, the will work fine in FS9.

I also did a couple of Lancs myself, not up to Sopwiths standards tho, click my sig below if interested. Pics below. EMH is Sopwiths handy work, only screenie I could find.

Hi Fnerg yep i found it finally it just did not show up in the search ... :)thanks a lot, got my Lanc installed and look forward to giving her a test flight and thanks for those skins JTD! Yep the B 17 in Donation ware is great, she is on my budget for aquistions too. :)

UPDATE:

ok got it in the air and it flies great. But, and i am a noob so plead that as my case... the bomb bay doors are open and i cant find the hot key to close em. any tips on that? i dont want to cause a panic in UK. :)
