FSX Auster Autocat uploaded

I just have to say it again. I'm really glad:applause: that this thread got started:running: again. I am really enjoying flying this airplane. Thank you Dave.:guinness:

Wow what a fantastic plane, many thanks. I have one issue caused by old age, looking out through the VC, the FSX world is very dark. Searching for ideas to circumvent that. I'll also take this opportunity to say thank you for the great skins, painters.

As a repaint of WZ662 has been recently issued, here are a few photos of the real thing. First flown in March 1954, it was the prototype Auster AOP9 and after trials at Boscombe Down saw service overseas before being struck off charge in 1969. Now restored and flying from Eggesford, Devon UK.

As you can see it looks nothing like a stock Auster as none of its parts can be used in any other design from the same company. The mainwheels are DC-3 tailwheel tyres!

Best wishes,

Martin

Does it really matter Martin. The repaint is excellent and surely the greater part of flight sim is "willing suspension of disbelief".

I just had to google that term ala wikipedia (not a term I am familiar with):

Suspension of disbelief or willing suspension of disbelief is a term coined in 1817 by the poet and aesthetic philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who suggested that if a writer could infuse a "human interest and a semblance of truth" into a fantastic tale, the reader would suspend judgment concerning the implausibility of the narrative. Suspension of disbelief often applies to fictional works of the action, comedy, fantasy, and horror genres, as well as in professional wrestling. Cognitive estrangement in fiction involves using a person's ignorance or lack of knowledge to promote suspension of disbelief.
The phrase "suspension of disbelief" came to be used more loosely in the later 20th century, often used to imply that the burden was on the reader, rather than the writer, to achieve it. This might be used to refer to the willingness of the audience to overlook the limitations of a medium, so that these do not interfere with the acceptance of those premises. These fictional premises may also lend to the engagement of the mind and perhaps proposition of thoughts, ideas, art and theories.[SUP][1][/SUP]
Suspension of disbelief is often an essential element for a magic act or a circus sideshow act. For example, an audience is not expected to actually believe that a woman is cut in half or transforms into a gorilla[SUP][2][/SUP] in order to enjoy the performance.

Wow, one of my favourite aircraft by my favourite designer now enhanced by one of the best repainters in the hobby.

Thank you very much Dave and Zsolt!
