My favourite biplane............

Keep them coming guys, they are all beautiful. The FCS Hawker Fury is really stunning, but as it is too complicated for me to repaint it, it is one I most definitely like, but not my favourite. The Gladiator was on my list as well, but somehow it isn't as sturdy as the He51. (BTW I love warbirds)

And I consider myself really lucky that Craig Richardson was willing o do this model.

Cheers,
Huub

That Brisfit is a lovely model. Lack of ground steering means I don't use it much. Must add some:encouragement:

Hi Rog:wavey:

You can get them HERE mate. Gary originally did these for Ted Cook's Demon and Hart and they were uploaded to Britsim. This particular version Gary sent me just after I'd bought the Fury and are bang up-to-date;) Enjoy:encouragement:

Cheers Dave, got them:ernaehrung004:
 
Aahh the Fiat CR.42! But I fly that one mainly on FS2004

This one is quite nice too and Alessandro Biaggi made some nice textures for it..... great sounds!

It was a little too FPS hungry for me but that might have been a couple of PCs ago...
I should try it again
 
A couple more shots of the FCS Hawker Fury...which I am now much more prone to fly, as there is one in England now that is flying (the only original example in the world flying). I'm hoping it is displayed at some UK airshows this summer.



 
That's my favourite paint too John. It'd be nice to have one of the flying example here in the UK but without a paint kit.. it's too much for me! Check out the Kestrel soundset I posted a link to by Gary Jones. It makes that old girl even better:encouragement:

Aircraft Factory Avro 504 and in the background.. the JF Sopwith Pup. It has to be said I don't fly either much but that's a consequence of having a hangar bulging at the seams as much as anything else!

Yep, I love that soundset, and used to use it with the Ted Cook Hawker biplanes in FS2004 as well. I also use his wonderful Rolls Royce Falcon, Bristol Mercury, and Bristol Pegasus engine soundsets for the appropriate types.

Speaking of which, would you, Dave, or anyone else, happen to know where one could still get the "early Merlin soundet" that used to be on Britsim? I forget who did that soundset, but I loved it and used to use with the Hurricane models.

I'll drop Gary an email John.. it may have been one of his. I still have a few soundsets lurking on a (now) external drive so I'll take a look. When Gary read about the FCS Fury.. he had a fiddle with the original sounds he'd done for Ted (he's never happy!!) and sent the ones in the link above. It has to be said, I was more than happy with his v1 set but these are better still IMHO. I know Gary suffered a HD failure and lost much of his source files so when Britsim went down.. this added to his loss. I'll drop him a line anyway;)

John..

I've heard back from Gary.. the early Merlin set was his at Britsim. While he's lost those files.. he still has his original zips but none seem to match 'Early Merlin'. He advised that he'd also uploaded a few files to Avsim and I've looked there but can only see sounds by Des Braban. I've got one more HD I can try but doors are closing I'm afraid.

EDIT: Sri John.. I can't see it on the last HD either:(
