Newest Fave Biplane

[aeromed202]

Came across this little gem while browsing. The file is stampe04.zip at Flightsim, by Eric Dantès, (I think. The notes are in French). Comes with nice cockpits too, 2D and VC. There are also some fanciful textures out there to lighten things up. I fell in love with those swept wings.
If anyone wants I can post my cfg edits that make her more spritely in the air.

I agree very nice freeware ...heres some of my pics with its contemporary aircaft from Europe ..the Jungmann (Fischer freeware), Tiger Moth (JustFlight) and the Stampe

Ahhh yes.. I prefer the Bucker personally, but I have the Stampe and it is a true GEM!

I'd like those config tweaks aeromed. I love a spritely bi-plane.

My favorite bi-plane is the Tigermoth....Have three or four versions installed in my Golden Wings GA install (Wozza, Bill Lyons, somebody else) and there all nice...but I like the old Alpha Sim freeware one for CFS2/FS2002. Too bad it won't work in FS2004. Maybe once I get some fresh paint onto the Bill Lyon's TM, it will be more to my liking.

FS seems particularly good for bi-planes. Love the Bucker (though I did have to avert my politically correct eyes away from the Hakenkreuz).......... I jest

Were'nt two Stampes used for the movie "High Road to China" with Tom Selleck ?...

Just love this movie. Great biplan scenes from start to finish...

Cheers

Yes, the Jungman is my absolute favorite biplane in FSX. It has one of the best virtual cockpits I've seen, and the external model is simply fantastic.

This Stampe is indeed a very nice aircraft. Somewhere there must be a version with a brushed alluminium panel.

Cheers,

[Daveroo]

is the engine sound on this stampe correct? sounds like a default cessna to me....

 

[gribouil]

Hi Huub,
do a search at flightsim.com for the "stampe11.zip" file, might be what you are looking for...

 

[magoo]

Sounds: The Stampe would sound very similar to a Tiger Moth or a Bucker Jungmann. Air cooled inverted inline four. Go to the Classic British flightsim site and try out Don Putnam's Cirrus Minor or Gypsy Major sound packs.

Thanks Gribouil, I think it is.

Sure thing Obio. I'll give them one more look then slide'em over.

If you like the Stampe you might like this page;- http://www.virtua-aerodesign.net/Civils/civils.html

Although the Stampe was never really known for 'sprightly' aerobatics, more an aircraft which required a pilot with a little finese to get the most out of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yykm0QjDrgo, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzXRPut9kaQ&feature=related -check out the sound.

Hi,

I taked it out of the hangar and whiped the dust
Allways still a nice plane to fly

 

[aeromed202]

These are the relevant changes I made to the original. I assumed this aircraft had no steerable tail wheel so it is now rudder steered on the ground too. Just copy/paste them over their counterparts and have fun.
