They are included in the aircraft folder, or at least they are with my FSXA install.Do You have (or will) in plans to release paint-kit too? I need it for this

Fantastic work, Mike! What a behemoth. I love those "porcupine" exhaust!

Did you notice that they also have a "glow" in the exhaust holes visible in the dark?

Yes, as Warhorse47 says, you'll find them (there are 3: One for the Halifax, one for the cargo versions, and one for the BOAC Halton) in their respective aircraft folders.
If anyone's wondering, it handles beautifully. Nobody here has ever flown a Halifax, but what you get is exactly what you would expect from such an aircraft. One of the best 1940s-vintage aircraft we've ever had in FSX and P3D, and yes I am horribly biased. I've waited a long time for someone to do a new Halifax/Halton package, and was even collecting materials to do one myself. Fortunately for the flight simming world, Mike at Flight Replicas got there first.

'Ops' are on for tonight, so a morning air-test over Yorkshire ( Bomber Command country.)

Cool! Great way to end my week at EAA and really welcome as the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the RAF wasn't as big as the emails were saying it would be. (At least the Meteor flew on Thursday.) Downloading now!

Awesome Halifax!
Great work on the Halifax Mike!
Picked it up today and I’m really enjoying it!
Nice to finally have a proper British heavy to fly in P3Dv4!
2 comments/questions:
Did the real Halifax have a steerable tailwheel? I modified the “aircraft.cfg” to a non steerable tailwheel and use differential braking and throttle to steer on the ground. (Many WW2 heavies worked that way, not sure about the Halifax).
I understand how you used fuel weight (External) to simulate bomb load but noticed on my first flight in the Mk. IX that it was using the “external” fuel instead of the internal fuel.
Thanks and cheers!

The Halifax didn't have a steerable tail wheel. However, in the films I saw, the Halifax appeared quite agile on the ground, more so that the usual differential braking allows in FSX/P3D, and so came up with this compromise for realistic handling.
The external tank that's used to simulate the bomb load contains only 1 gal of useable fuel, so that FSX/P3D won't use it. You shouldn't have any use in the air, unless something else outside of the model if effecting it. The two different Halifax starting methods, by Ctrl-E and by the full start-up method, can make fuel tanks be handled differently depending on the method, but shouldn't have any effect on the External1 used by the bomb load.

It is set with 2500 gals of usable and 2499 unusable
Also, the capacities should be in US gal, so multiply all your capacities by 1.2
309 Imp Gal = 371 US gal
etc..
This will probably require re-calibration of the fuel gauges.
