Classic, British and free!

[Ferry_vO]

Plenty of British aircraft have been released as freeware for FsX, and most are real gems!

Dave Garwood's Hunters:

And his Dragon Rapide:

Dave did a great Bristol Beaufighter and an Auster too but I don't have those installed at the moment as the result of a major computer crash.

Fairey Swordfish with HMS Victorious from http://www.flyingstations.com/

Westland Wyvern from the same site:

Ant's DH.82 Tiger Moth:

Vampire, Sea Venom and Gannet from Rob Richardson (http://classicbritishfiles.com/)

Looking at the various sites there's plenty more to come in the future!

Great shots, love the Stringbag and the Wyvern though.

And Dave Garwood's Mosquito is coming along nicely too;

[Dexdoggy]

Yep 3 Cheers for all of DG's stuff, especially the Auster and Hunter; Ant's Tiger Moth is awesome as well!

 

[bkeske]

Thanks for the Heads Up on that Fairey Swordfish....just what I need, another biplane; I think I'm addicted to the old birds right now. Wonder how MAAM is coming with their....

 

[heywooood]

Sea Venom looks some kinda nice

I have all of Dave's other FSX offers. Lovely aircraft to fly, especially the Rapide and Beaufighter ( with which I spend a lot of time racing around the Fjords).

But I'm really REALLY looking forward to the Mosquito!!.

 

[kilo delta]

Hear hear.....

An honourable mention too to Rick Piper for his Bristol Sycamore, forthcoming HP Jetstream and FS9 ports...the A22 Foxbat (not a British design...but yet a very nice microlite) and DH.Chipmunk. :salute::ernae:

 

[dswo]

Thanks for putting those together.

 

[huub vink]

Just to complete Dave Garwood's list.

One of the Beaufighters

and his Auster

And although I am definitely looking forward to his Mosquito, I still hope that he will find some time one day to redo his Anson in a native FSX version as well.... (wishful thinking )

Cheers,
Huub

Mossie? someone mentioned a mossie? *falls flat* am i dead? DG doing a mossie? *trying to catch breath* ok now that i can't wait for!

 

[raptor19]

Guaranteed to be something special if Dave Garwood is doing it. F.B.VI is my favourite (now who would guess!) but any Mossie will be most welcome.:salute::salute:

I thought for sure this was going to be a thread for the release of the Sea Hornet. All good though.

Got 'em all...LOVE 'EM ALL! Great pics!

Uh . . . you're saying that Dave has made a Beaufighter that's FSX-oriented!?!?! Well flimflam my flapdoodle, I must quickly go and hunt that rascal down!

Thanks for pointing this out, Pips!!

LOL...where have you been! I guess news travels slow in NS!

I see 'Ferry' has already provided a link for you and will only add that if you get her just watch your approach speed. She's a peach on approach until you hit about 90 (can't remember if that's MPH or KTS) but you will know if you drop below it as she will drop like a stone with a nasty yaw to boot! Not what you want when 100 ft from the perimeter fence at 200 ft altitude! I bent her a few times when she first came out before I got the hang of the approaches.

 

[huub vink]

A very nice think form Dave Garwood's FSX Rapide is the fact the FS9 textures fit without any problems.

Although this is most probably common knowledge, I thought I should mention it for the one or to who didn't know.....

Cheers,
Huub

 

[Matt Wynn]

always have had a soft spot for the Drag Rap... i'm off to get her to add to all the other DeHavillands in my sim

 

[TeaSea]

Well flimflam my flapdoodle ...

Flimflam your flapdoodle????

This is a "G" rated forum sir....we do not "Flimflam our Flapdoodles" here.

We do just about everything else, but there are limits.


:mixedsmi:

P.S. The Beaufighter is excellent. It will flimflam your flapdoodle.
