Paul Beardsley's Wright Gliders

[IanHS]

Have a request to everyone.

Have any of you got (and/or know where it can be downloaded from) Paul Beardsley's (pretty certain he was the author), Wright 1900-02 Glider pack? Remember it being on FlightSim.com, which is currently (permanently?) unavailable.

Anyone help please.

Thank you.

@IanHS several of Paul Beardsley's efforts are available (unfortunately, I do not see the gliders) from the archived freeware planes page of Golden Eagles Squadron - Lynn and Bill Lyons and company https://web.archive.org/web/20050606012123/http://windrfters.com/planespage.htm

and of course also at simviation https://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=Beardsley

cheers

Mick & others...
Thanks for sharing.
We often forget about the 'older' aircraft that were released ages ago..

Thank you!
My 16 year old daughter sends you hugs as she asked me about "the old stuff" after we watched "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" for the 100,000th time yesterday, she's mastered the Wright Flyer on FS2004 and wants to "try" other types!

Take care

Ian, for some unusual aircraft, try this attached.
Also, have a search for 'Vintage' in the library.

I also had a separate Vintage install of FS9, using 'Golden Wings' that regressed the scenery to the 1930's.

An attempt to create a kind of a scene from the said movie "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" The scene should depict the start in Dover.

Several aircraft have to be tweaked on order to use them as AI. In fact it's more an assembly of available early aircraft, than an absolutely faithful reproduction of them shown in the movie.

@IanHS the following educational resources including java based interactive simulations may prove helpful in helping the novice student better understand and appreciate essential aerodynamics - mathematics and physics that lead to the invention of powered flight

https://www1.grc.nasa.gov/beginners-guide-to-aeronautics/re-living-the-wright-way/

https://www.wrightexperience.com/ --> several short relevant background-story readings that proffer an insight, especially into the thought process if not also the details of the trials and tribulations that proved essential to realizing the idea of powered flight to fruition

cheers!
