Interesting Mathias, I have a ship in the yard that she'd fit on perfectly!

It is definitely for FS9 AND FSX, it has a dedicated FSX texture file. I have downloaded it and flown it. It flies very well, slow, steady and stable. Haven't had a chance to check the accuracy of the flight dynamics yet, but it does look god.
Funnily, I was just going to donate the CH Swordfish source file to the community since I lost interest in finishing it.
oooo purdy purdy please

Appears to be FS9 only as I can't find an FSX version.

file nmae=
swfish.zip one download, you just need to move the FSX textures and overwrite the FS9 ones.
You can have it if you like.
It's in max9 or 3ds format, imports easily to Gmax.
Just give me a howl.
EDIT: some shots below. Engine needs work and cockpit needs to be done.
And now...thread hi-jacking mode off. Appologies Gentlemen.
Not really, the mdl is MDL8 format, it's a port.

Great - How is your excellent 110 shaping up?
Quite good, mate.
Interesting note on this new Swordfish release, they are using the textures of our old Groundcrew CFS2 Stringback.

FSX Acceleration!
yeah it looks like poor texture quality like!
Hmm interesting... British or German? IE as in her home carrier or her most famous target?

HMS Victorious although it'd work for any of the first three Illustrious class. I used to have a model of the Cavour floating around that someone lent me as well. What does Taranto harbour look like in FSX?
If you need some new skins for Swordfish, check the thread:

(you will also find them at bottom link)
Not certain however how these CFS2 textures work in FSX. Never tried before..

My grandfather was on one of the carriers (I'm not sure which - my Dad could tell me) in the Med Theatre that was sunk. Although his job was a gunlayer, as is usual in the Navy, tasks are doubled up and another one of his jobs was to pull the chocks out from Swordfish at full power and lie very flat while the torpedo went overhead and the tailwheel hopefully missed his head (it always did, thankfully!)
One of our favourite tales, when I was young, was about a raid that the Stringbags went on where they counted them all back in except one, which no-one had seen since the attack itself . Assuming it was lost, they started clearing the deck of all the debris dropped by the others has they hand landed with battle damage. Suddenly there was a cry of "LOOK OUT!" from the rear of the boat and the missing Swordfish climbed over the rear of the carrier with black smoke pouring from the engine and strips of fabric flapping all over the place. People went everywhere. My grandfather went over the side as he literally had nowhere else to go. Fortunately his long, about to become very wet, drop was interrupted by the tarpaulin covering a lifeboat which unceremoniously caught and held on to him.
Less than two weeks later, the news was reported that the carrier had been sunk. The day after that, my grandmother received a letter that he had been transferred to a destroyer as a gunlayer on that. Shortly afterwards, the destroyer was sunk escorting a convoy with massive loss of life, because the convoy couldn't stop. No letter followed.
He turned up on the doorstep instead, on a very short shoreleave before joining a North Cape convoy to Russia on a different destroyer.
I'd love a native FSX Stringbag. I'll take a look at both this one and the Alphasim I already have, but ported prop aircraft don't tend to last long.
