Even I missed this release and I do a bit work for the 'shed', this was once going to be payware (unless I am mistaken) a year or two ago, but now it's FREE!:jump::jump::jump:

Get it here....

Here is a screenshot from my FSX 'home' RAF Woodvale which just happens to be home to UAS operating this type! It's a nice little model, but I think there might be a texture missing under the stbd wing! Sorry, I did not beta test this little gem, I am sure if it is missing, Brian will be along soon to fix it.

It's only a 15 meg DL with a .exe installer.

I agree that its a very nice model, have not noticed the texture problem - will take another look, but, I cannot get it to perform to the published figures by RAF or Grob, nor can I get less than 2000 RPM....makes landing difficult! Anyone else have the same problem. I d/led from BritSim.
Keith :(
 
Keith,

I have tuned the performance a bit as it was underpowered and I'll take a look at the wing, can you put up a shot of what your seeing.

Brian
 
Hi Brian, here is the wing. The closer I look, I am now thinking it might just be 'plain' plastic or GRP (or whatever they are made of....no panel lines?), apart from the reg. the other wing looks the same.

Whoops, I have been away and wondered why it was not a sticky. I check back a couple of pages and saw nothing! You really have to 'live' here to keep up to speed.

Actually the area aft of the engine cowling looks more like it isn't textured than the wing.
 
Yes I get the same - an area behind the engine coloured etch prime, so I won't repeat the screenshot. I also assume that there are no markings on the Stbd underside.

I think a bit more than increasing power is needed Brian - it wont rotate until it gets to 80 Kts - surely not quite right, also as said minimum rpm problem also. Maybe not quite as same as a Zlin? Sorry about that as it really is a nice piece of modelling.....
Am using FSX with recent addition of Acceleration expansion pack.

Eee by gum, used to fly the Chipmunks there when I were a lad int Air Cadets !!!
 
Brian, thanks for going to the trouble of producing screenshots of performance. I will try again using SP2 instead of my new addition of acceleration to see if thats the problem & will keep you posted. Might be better if I re d/l from your site to get the latest texture files.
Keith
 
Thanks Brian, I see there have been about 100 extra D/L's since yesterday, so I guess it was worth putting up here, even if it was a re-post!:icon_lol: No need for any more work on this, I'd hate for you to not have enough time for the next 'big one'!:salute:
 
Brian, Have re-d/l ed from your site & reloaded still using Acceleration I now agree that rotate & landing easier at similar speeds to your shots. I have taken screenshots at Flat out & 75% throttle on the dial also underside exterior - it now has 4 black circles & a 'mucky' panel behind the engine. Note that Flat out it will give 3000 RPM, but speeds are nowhere near yours for some reason, also if tickover on ground goes below 500 RPM the engine quits.
Regards
Keith
 
Great new addition! Only thing I've noticed externally is that the last 2 of the serial on the tail is different to the main on! Hope they'll be a repaint for the display a/c soon?
