New T-28 freeware released at Virtavia.....

Sorry, not the case...

Once I got home and went to install them I found I already had the FS9 version so I guess this is just a re-post.

Again, Sorry.....
 
No problem! Stay alert and keep on checking.

The Alphasim/Virtavia T-28 and Piglet's T-28 are both great planes for touring around in.
 
More new free downloads at Virtavia...

And this time I KNOW thery are new to freeware (Beaufighter and Hornet) because I bought one of them just a few months ago and the other last year!:icon_lol:

I suspect the F-8 Crusader Is new to freeware.
 
Thanks for the heads up on the Beaufighter, wbuchart! Ive been waiting for this one for a while. Have the Dh-103 Hornet... bought it as payware years ago. It came with a really wicked accurate sound set for those twin Merlin engines.

Sure the Crusader is. I purchased it years ago.
 
Mosquito and Hornet

Thanks for the update on the Hornet and Mosquito and thanks to Virtavia once again for their generosity.
 
Thanks for the news!
BTW, at this very moment, the Beaufighter and Hornet are still offered as Virtavia payware at the FlightSim Store and PC Aviator LOL.

Oops. I'll let Phil know. :mixedsmi: Thanks for spotting that.

Or as Phil says to me all the time, "Bugger, well spotted."

:ernae:
 
Thank you Phil and crew at Virtavia for releasing these planes as freeware - especially the F-8 Crusader package! :salute:
 
Hornet and Mosquito

:jump: Hi guys!

First things first, thanks for virtavia`s guys for the freewares!

Now I have a question for you guys: while flying the Hornet into fsx the props llok very very ugly like a dark disk, is there a fix?

Thanx in advance!
 
Has anybody got Morton's repaints for the Alphasim Beaufighter because i am getting an error mesage when i try to download the repaints.

Regards Paul Day.

The Hornet (and some other Alpha planes, MB5) have a prop disc that is not textured, but instead made up of materials with varying levels of transparency, IIRC. If you zoom in close, you will notice the disc is made up of many shaded triangles, apex at prop centre. Nothing much can be done bar using MDLmat to adjust transparency of each material.Jamie
 
Alpha's Beau looks really nice with Morton's repaints on it. It takes a little bit of work to get them all in place... you'll have to copy the pilot, cockpit and the extra bits over to Mortons repaints from the ones supplied with the model. Also you'll have to create your own configs for each.

Many thanks to Virtavia/Alphasim for these superb little freebies. :salute:

There is also a soundset in the CS2 library by Lawdog, edited to deliver the sound of twin Bristol Hercules 14-cylinder radial engines. Gear touchdown sounds included.
