Isn't This Beautiful

I have mentioned before about the beautiful desk calendar I got for Christmas from my daughter. Here is another one and this IS available for FSX and P3D (probably works in P3D V4 too) the de Havilland D.H. 89. According to my calendar it was first flown on April 17, 1934 it was manufactured in many different civilian and military versions. It was a rugged, serviceable and versitle eight-to-ten seat 150 mph transport.

Here is the link I found at Flyaway Simulation. It features fully working VC with smooth gauges. Sixteen paint schemes included. Complete aircraft, no other files needed. Includes custom panel and FX. By Dave Garwood and CBFS design team. I looked in Google for other sources but they only had other repaints for it which are probably part of the 16 repaints here. Be sure to CAREFULLY read the README about the name in the Title in the aircraft.cfg and not complain that it doesn't work. I usually don't read them and just rush right in but there is a caution in this one not to be ignored.

I'm downloading it right now and will give a full report later.

It is in the Library here, along with a few tasty repaints.

I loved Dave's DH.89 in FS2004, but the FSX version takes it to another level. Mr Garwood is a true master of these arts, I would doff my hat to him if I had one. Thanks Dave. :ernaehrung004:
 
Patience

I just finished the download but had to restart it twice. I use the free download area and am not a subscriber. I looked everywhere I could think of beside Flyaway Sim to get a faster download and it is nowhere else I found. From what I hear it's worth the trouble to download it.

I support SOH but am not a paid subscriber anywhere else. I don't think that is a bad thing to do if you can to support them. I had a few websites in the past and I have to pay each month to have my Christian Radio Station on the air so as the admin here know, airtime or bandwidth on websites is expensive. If you can afford it and are led to help out the sites that give us stuff for free with no catches it's good to do. That's my tuppence or two cents.

I think there is still one based at Duxford that you can book a flight on.

There sure is.
I took a flight in it at one of their air shows a few years back. It was a very fun if short flight, just one circuit of the airfield with a full load of passengers.
 
Airports

For a flavor of the time, I was able to find airports in England and France of the 1930's to upload and do some flights to and from.
 
The Rapide by Dave Garwood and CBFS team has always been available at the Classic British Flight Sim site. However the site is not really working anymore, but Dave's model is pretty much available at every large Flightsim site:

In the library here at Sim-Outhouse : http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=34&id=9656

At Flightsim.com : https://www.flightsim.com/files/file/112844-fsx-dehavilland-dh89a-dragon-rapide/

It is amazing how many are still around considering their age and the wartime service they saw. There are over 20 survivors, 9 of them being airworthy (7 in the UK!!) & a couple more under restoration to fly. I've seen them flying many times at Old Warden and at Duxford, never managed a flight sadly.
 
You can book a flight through Virgin experiences. £259 from Duxford, down to London and back and a visit to the museum.

Thank You For The Links

This is great information thank you for sharing it here. I looked but didn't find these. This is great! I was disappointed that the Classic British Flightsim site was down. They still had some scenery in a Google search that I wanted to download though I found Croyden, Brookfield and Herndon at Avsim to install as well as the Channel Islands and Le Bourget in 1930s. I created the Empire Airways for the DC3 from an Hercule Poirot episode and if my old memory serves me I believe that this was in one of the episodes too. i did a library search at every site and none of them showed it up so I must not have been using the right words to search. I would have much preferred to use one of the quicker download sites. What scenery downloads do I need to install to get the full flavor of one of the Classic-Wings Dragon-Rapide Flights. ORBX England? I own that one!
 
Thanks For The Memories

Re. Poirot (and other series) this is an interesting resource.

Not the "Road Movies-Bing and Bob" am I old or what LOL! but the memories of every Poirot which I have enjoyed and not paid close enough attention to the aircraft with the exception of the C47/DC3 which I recognized and have recreated here. I have every one from uTube on DVD to enjoy again and again because youtube deletes frequently and then unless you buy them they are gone forever. I didn't know that the Dragon Rapide was the subject of a thread a couple years ago. Do you think that the Expeditor says Empire Airways too, can't tell only see AIRWAYS. I may dig out that DVD and see if more frames might show the full name and do a repaint for IT and share it.:applause:

Postscript: I just fast-forwarded the full episode of The Adventure Of The Western Star and the Expeditor is stenciled IMPERIAL AIRWAYS which was a real airline however as far as I can tell did NOT use the Expeditor but the Armstrong-Whitworth AW154 Argosy in its service between London/Croydon and the continent. I didn't find any of these in existence any more so perhaps that is why the Expeditor was used instead.
 
Today's Beautiful Bird From The Calendar

The Republic Seabee...I have done much Google searching and there are two available versions of this: KCFS Republic Seabee (payware) at Aerosoft; Simflight and maybe more for about $24.00USD or 20 Euros. There is an update for it at Flightsim and Perfect Flight to correct some things and the freeware from Premier Aircraft Design complete with base model from Flyaway Simulation. It was also at Flightsim.com but not totally complete package. I opted to use Flyaway Simulation again as yesterday. There is also a "Superbee" that is an updated version with 3 bladed Hartzell prop etc. again at Flyaway sim. The KCFS was created back in 2012 as the PAD so I am going to play with the freeware and save my dollars in this case. As of yesterday I look forward to a lot of comments from those who have either or both in the hanger. I just uploaded this to my P3D V4.5 and though it appears, it does not work so there must be some incompatible gauges like from FS2002 since it is so old. KCFS in a post I saw said they had created a separate installer for P33D and I am assuming that is V4 though I don't know about V5. The Dragon Rapide works fine in P3D so must be all XML gauges or at least FSX gauges. I was able to get the Croydon 1930 scenery to work nice in FSX but it does not work in V4.5 as neither did Brookfield or Herndon from a similar download from yesterday. And that's my work for today.

Yesterday and today Sunday

The airplane of the day(s) is the Curtiss P-40. You can get it for free over at A2A in the FSX and P3D V4 Accusim versions. Just go to A2A then store and then proper sim and you will see $0.00 as the price. Put the one(s) you want in the cart and checkout. There are a lot of repaints for them that have been uploaded when it was still payware that work. Everyone is familiar with the Sharkmouth nose but I like different one's like the 80th FG Screamin Banshees http://www.mikesrepaints.com/p40.html

KCFS Repubic SeaBee

I have this and reworked some stuff for P34 - works well.

When I was much younger (teenager), a local grass strip in Maine had one. The Franklin engine was loud as hell and the plane had a cruise speed like a blimp. However, I loved watching it anyway.

A couple years ago I found the 80th FG and created a virtual group when A2A came out with this. I also had freeware P40s for guys who did not want to have to spend for payware. The squadron members of the 3 real 80th FG squadrons had different banshee skulls on their aircraft. There was also 459th Fighter Squadron P-38 Lightning and the Geronimo II repaint by Jan Kees Blom at Avsim for Milviz P-38L. The Burma Banshees website https://www.burmabanshees.com/ has tons of interesting info on this forgotten theatre.
