New Beaufighter?

Looks like it is Tom.

"[SIZE=-1] Model, texture, VC cockpit, panel by F. Giuli. Gauges by other authors." [/SIZE]
 
Being a fan of this aircraft I noted the same and downloaded & installed it in the '40s version of FS9. I'm going to give it a hop, and try to post some screenies for your enjoyment.

EDIT: Here is a screenie of the basic aircraft:

Never did take it up, so can't talk about performance. Visually it's a very straightforward, workmanlike rendition of a Beau but not in the same category as Alphasim's version. I tried to take other photos of landing gear, cockpit, etc but kept getting the black screen of death in my "paint" program I get the screenshots from. I can tell you the panel is even more basic and has gauges in it that appear to be from MSCFS2. As a class, this seems to be another aircraft for which there never has been a really good panel made, there are perhaps 2 aftermarket add-ons that don't have but a couple of functioning switches plus gauges, the rest are dummies; plus the panel in the Alphasim birds (not too detailed), and that's it. I'm aliasing the Alphasim panel to a few other non-Alpha Beaus I have in the hangar, another project there is now time to accomplish in retirement.
