• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

FSX Native Curtiss Robin

Spad54

SOH-CM-2025
While we're waiting for our scenery designer to complete the accompanying airfield for the Pitcairn project we've been fooling around with the FS9 Robin done by Jim converting it to FSX P3D native. Stil a WIP but taking shape. It will be a freebie when completed.

 
Great news, Spad. :applause:
This is a nice little plane and works fairly well in FSX as is - my only issue is the tinted/smoked glass makes it hard to see things in less than optimal weather conditions. Hope you can make the glass a little clearer in this version.

Anybody here heard of the Key Brothers? No fair using Google to answer.

I know they flew at least one very long duration flight in a Robin. If I remember correctly one of my aviation books has a pic of their Robin. I think they even modified it to where they could service the aircraft in flight.

You are correct Sir! 27 days non-stop. Air to Air refueling as well as resupply. There was a little catwalk built around the engine housing so they could service the engine. Daring men indeed and intrepid kites.

Fantastic! I almost forgot about the Robin for FS9....let alone this upcoming creation. Many thanks for offering this as a freeware, too!
