Erican,

Is this the "high poly in FS9" experiment by William "Lionheart" Ortis?

When it is, I never realised it was released.

Cheers,
Huub
 
Hi Huub, it was an experiment by Douglas Kallen of Touch the sky simulations to push the limits of FS9. It's been around since 2011.
The detail is stunning even the rigging wires vibrate.

Yes the models were done by Stuart Green and he used his own face for the pilot. In the distant past I had some contact with him and Stuart was a very pleasant character with a good sense of humor.
When he stopped making models he left his site online for a very long period. But a few years ago the site disappeared.

Especially his WWII models were absolutely top notch when he released them around 2005. And 15 years later they are still among the best WWII models ever released for the Microsoft flight simulators.

Cheers,
Huub

Douglas Kallen and Robert Sanderson have worked together. The last Hurricanes by Robert Sanderson (which he still called Betas) are very detailed as well, and have the odd animations which we hardly see anywhere else. The antenna cables from these models are moving in the wind and the chin strap from the pilot's helmet does as well.
The very nicely detailed pilot scans the sky in a very natural way. And breaking propeller blades when you crash land.

Cheers,
Huub

Indeed, yet another great iconic developer that has 'left the room' and whose legacy is still with us.

I do have all, or most of his aircraft in my Golden Wings, and he did have a sense of humor.. Did he not do a flying pig and other cartoon planes?

These types of addons are missed! We need more fun!!
 
Thanks for the reminder to re-install that P-3 again :encouragement:

But in the meanwhile we go back in history...............

All beautiful models Pete, but one demoiselle doesn't really look like the other............

(Graig Richardson's version of the Santos-Dumont Demoiselle Replica (Dragonfly)).

Your version is most likely the original one by France-VFR, like the incredible Nieuport. Graig's Löhners are really causing wet feet.... (glitch in the model)

Cheers,
Huub
 
 last time I looked Huub, there were 3 different versions of the Santos Dumont Demoiselle available for fs9..

But you are correct, the one from Frenchvfr is based on the Santos Dumont #19; whereas Craig's replica is based on the later Santos Dumont #21....and if you hop over to Simviation, there's the later #22 ,done by Marcel di Foggi
