Here's a sticky for ya...... Storch is RELEASED !

Francois

FS Veteran
Simon Smeiman has done it again. Together with FSAddon Publishing he has managed to again increase the quality of his aircraft building. The result of more than half a year of hard work is his wonderful Fieseler Storch.

FSB-009-e1314026518630.png


This German STOL aircraft of the second World War has been meticulously copied from the real thing - in our case a fully functional model that still flies in the capable hands of Kermit Weeks and his pilots at Fantasy of Flight, the famous aviation museum and theme park in Polk City, Florida. Yours truly made two trips all the way over to the US to get detailed information about the aircraft and shoot hundreds of photos of it.

The FSAddon Publishing Storch for FSX features the exact model as found in Florida (only the original tail painting has been altered to comply with German law and make it available to our German customers as well). But not only that. We have included a wheeled and a ski version and with a total of 10 different liveries there is something for everyone.

We even provide an ambulance version with or without two wounded soldiers on stretchers!

Not only is the aircraft a wonderfully detailed model, both outside and in, with VERY special flying characteristics, just like the real thing, but there is a wealth of animated functions included too. Even the wing folding is fully animated, complete with all the small security pins and handles moving.

We are still working on a set of 'operations', including some scenery, but due to vacations (and some technical problems recently) these will be published later this year. Free of charge for Storch owners, of course.

In spite of the high cost of developing this model, we decided to keep the price as reasonable as we could. After all the aircraft we publish are also OUR pet toys and we want as many people as we can to enjoy them as much as we do!

Check out the photos in the shop, and download the free manual to have a closer look before deciding. We are pretty certain you'll press the 'BUY' button as soon as you have seen and read all the information! Enjoy !

Thanks Francois!
I will get it too, but only 1th september due $$$ limitation. You should not release these beauty in the end of the month! Money gone a week ago!!! :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

And now, i will stay at least 10 days just looking at the pictures ....
 
Deciding WHEN to release is always a problem. Me, since I am usually LATE, I just drop it into the shop when I feel we're ready for it..... quality-wise. To heck with marketing tricks ! :icon_lol:
 
I bought it but won't get a chance to load it until tonight. Quick download.

Hey Francois, is there a paint kit wrapped up in there?
 
Simon sent me a paintkit, but it is only .bmp files. Not sure I am doing anyone a favor with that.
Have asked for more, but my connection to Simon is at a once every 2 weeks frequency, when I'm lucky.
 
This is great! I just managed to get in a short flight before leaving for work. Initial impression is very good. A lot of fun for the low and slow crowd.

mmmm...downloaded twice, but no joy. Both files corrupted.

Francois.....HELPPP. :kilroy:

Hank

Hoi Hank,

well, the files are okay, so it must be the download that fails somehow. Happened before for some 'selected' people ! I know, I know, not funny ! :kilroy:

Two things:

1) if you use a download manager: switch it off.

2) with or without it: keep trying. You have 50 chances. If you run out of them, I'll reset your counter.

If I had my motorbike at home, I'd jump on it and bring you the file, but alas, it is still in France.
Oops, cancel that, it just started raining !! :icon_lol:

Seriously, keep trying and I am here if it doesn't work at all....
 
To everybody else: thank you kindly for your business and Simon and I are thrilled to hear you like our baby ! :salute:

:icon_lol: quoting myself......but I was able to download the full 193Mb and installed the Fi-156 succesfully.....

All previous downloads stopped below 130Mb....maybe a hickup in the internet.

Cheers,
Hank
