The Last Auster

Robin,
Are you continuing to upload all of your Austers? its just that I have had a request to e-mail mine, & it might be better (because your listing seems to be complete & mine isn't) if my correspondent waited until all of yours were available. BTW my listing of Auster Mk5 snds is only the sound file, so might be a lycoming?
I always thought that the Mk5's were only fitted with Lycomings.
Regards
Keith

Hi Kieth,
I have uploaded them all, individually zipped in a single large zip file, that Jamie is writing the descriptions & adding a picture. So it will take a bit of time for him to do the balance of 20, adding descriptions & pictures. He has to load them into the sim to take a screenshot. Lycoming it is..

We will just have to wait until Jamie has done them all, I'd rather do that, to get 'clicks' on the library downloads, than to send the files out on request. Unless....
 
Sorry for the delay guys, had a pet to dig a hole for in the back garden, 6ft deep and all. Then the football was on. I'll try and get more done but it's getting late here.

Jamie, if you can take out the MK5_SAAF please. It's not one of David's. I had it in the collection as it had SAAF (South African Air Force) textures.

Auster AOP.6

996416027181776803.jpg

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Military - Props

Description: The Auster AOP.6 (Auster Model K) was designed as a successor to the Taylorcraft Auster V, it had a strengthened fuselage, increased all-up weight and a 145 hp (108 kW) de Havilland Gipsy Major 7 engine. It had a different appearance to the wartime Austers due to the lengthened landing gear struts (due to the larger propeller), and external non-retractable aerofoil flaps.

An initial production run of 296 were completed for the Royal Air Force in 1949. A second batch was produced from 1952 with a total delivered of around 400. Some aircraft ordered by the Royal Air Force aircraft were diverted to the Belgian Air Force (22) and the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force (2). New aircraft were delivered to Royal Canadian Air Force, South African Air Force, and the Arab Legion Air Force (Jordan).

A dual-control training version of the AOP.6 was produced, 77 serving as the Auster T.7 (Auster Model Q). These flew alongside the AOP.6 in the AOP squadrons.
In 1955 two T.7 aircraft were modified for use on the 1956 Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition, being designated Auster Antarctic (Auster Model C4). The aircraft had extra radio equipment, larger tail surfaces, the ability to be fitted with floats or skis as required and a bright yellow finish to increase visibility against the snow and ice.
The aircraft was gradually replaced with the Auster AOP.9 from 1955 and surplus aircraft were converted to civilian use, first as the Auster 6A and later as the Beagle A.61 Terrier.

The above model also includes the T.7 as described in the text and the Antarctic variant. Rather nice if I don't say so.

Auster AOP-11

625516027227714760.jpg

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Military - Props

Description: Three-seat AOP machine with a 260 hp Continental IO-470-D 6-cylinder horizontally opposed more powerful engine, that raised the maximum speed to 142 mph (228 km/h) and the empty weight to 1,806 lb (816 kg). Apart from the engine, the AOP.11 was almost identical to its predecessor. Early in its career (photo, right), the undercarriage had spats, though these were later removed.[15] Only one, a converted AOP.9 was produced, making its first flight on 18 August 1961 with serial XP254. A year later it was registered to Beagle aircraft, that had taken over Auster in 1960, as G-ASCC where it was known as the Beagle Mk 11, the E.3 or as the A.115. It was sold into private hands in 1971.

Auster j-2 arrow

734216027258181272.jpg

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Civilian Props

Description: AUSTER J-2 ARROW

The Auster J/2 Arrow is a 1940s British single-engined two-seat high-wing touring monoplane built by Auster Aircraft Limited at Rearsby, Leicestershire, England.

The Arrow was designed as a successor to the pre-war Taylorcraft Plus C monoplane. A development aircraft, a side-by-side two-seater first flew in 1946 powered by Lycoming O-145-B3 flat four air-cooled engined.


Import restrictions on the sale in the United Kingdom (UK) of American-built engines resulted in most of the 44 aircraft completed being exported, mainly to Australia. In later life, examples were re-imported to the UK, where several examples remained active in 2011.

Beagle Husky

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2004 Civilian Props

Description: The Husky was manufactured by Beagle Auster and was the last of the traditional Auster breed. This aircraft is still flying in the U.K.

The Beagle Husky (originally, the Auster D.5 and initially designated the Auster J/1Y) was a three-seat British light aircraft built in the 1960s which originated from a Portuguese Air Force requirement for a liaison/training aircraft, a development of the Auster Alpha. It first flew as an Auster design in January 1960, but that company was taken over by Beagle Aircraft in September that year. It was initially available with a 160 hp Lycoming O-320 engine as the Auster D5/160.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the link & I think that a lot of us, as time goes by, forget about the classics, and it takes something like this to rekindle the hobby.
It happened to me, I got bored of the usual point to point flying over the years, the I found Garry Smith's site, chatted & become a beta tester for him, until he passed on, & I've now ended up with 8 FS2004 installs, themed from Vintage to Space installs.
We gotta keep the legacy alive!!

You dont want to do an Airdale for us?? We need a tripod to complete the series!

There is an Airdale available by Marty Strong on most of the major sites - pretty sure in works in FS9 as well as FSX.
 
Ah, the Airdale. I recall considering that when I was building the Auster series. I dismissed it as being too far removed
from the Auster concept and also being a resounding failure. So, sorry, no, not by me.
Cheers
