Thanks.

Wow looks great especially for freeware , I saw the real thing once at Ardmore, Auckland (at the Mosquito debut show)...wish I caught more of it before it headed overseas

I was there on the day, and pointed my 720p Handicam at it.
Hard to believe that was 13 YEARS ago

Finally got a chance to take her up during my lunch today! Beautiful job!

Many thanks to anyone involved in this great model.

I only realised after downloading and installing this really excellent bit of work, that VX-B was included!
This in itself is another one of those Kiwi undertakings that make you wonder...

The model does lack some external noise, wondering if there is a suitable soundset one could swap in?

An excellent job all around. Many thanks and kudos for this wonderful bit of history. Enjoying a trip back in time. Thank you to all who made this happen.

Hope we can see the full range from the original Anson package. I had it and flew the Canadian versions a lot. I do like the Mk 1 however, as I own an instrument panel from an original WW2 example! Got to sit in one at a Canadian museum too. One of my favorites. Nice to see this!!

I see I'm not the only one with the see-through port wheel hub. I thought it might just be a graphics glitch in MSFS2024. Odd how it only affects one wheel, and not the other.

When I set the mixture lever to take-off the engines stop (out of fuel). Probably the take-off setting and cut-off setting are reversed.

I felt it was a bit too shiny, so I toned it down a bit, what do you think?

I've just finished making a model of the Annie, yet to try it in the flight sim though.

 

[jankees]

Does anyone still have old FSAddon paintkit for the Anson? I can't find it anymore, and I would love to make a few more paints for it

 

[vipgroup]

There are very few Anson Mk.1's left intact in Canada. R9735 is therefore a rarity. Located about three hours drive from me, it resides at the Western Development Museum, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. I took these pictures on two visits in 2010 and 2014. Time to go for another visit I think.

Jankees, if no one here has that paint kit, the guys at DSD are in contact with the FSAddon guys & are trying to get the paintkit file/s. I tried to find it but all links are dead which is probably where you're at too...
