Hi OleBoy

From the top of my head
Nord Noratlas
C-119 of course
C-82
Cessna 337 (push pull)
Armstrong Whitworth AW 650 Argosy (Oooops, disregard, the argosy had 4 engines) :isadizzy:

No idea about links but I am dead sure the Noratlas is freeware and I have no doubt that you know about the 119 and the 82, discussed not so long ago in the forum as fot the Cessna, I think that M. Stone made one and there is another payware.

Saludos

I've got the FSD Cessna 337 and can't say enough good about it. I even flew it in the modern class during the London to Melbourne race. I've got the CD-ROM version so there's no problems with re-installs. I've also got Mike Stone's freeware 337, but it doesn't have a VC. However nice panels for it can be found at the usual places. But while good, Mike's don't hold a candle to the FSD 337.

Another aircraft that fits the description is David Copely's (dcc) P-38s. He is the P-38 master. And they're free!

Yep, the Noratlas is freeware, author was Jean-François Martin; definitely available at Flightsim. Oodles of repaints, also worth looking out for a panel/upgrade from the incomparable Benoit Gaurant.

SkyUnlimited P-38 Payware

NOT SHOWN is the Aeroplane Heaven P-38 payware and Ito's P-61B Black Widow freeware...

..and I got a couple twin boom jets, if you're interested.

CFS2 Focke-Wulf FW 189 Uhu (Updated version). Called the "Flying Eye" of the German army, the Fw 189 succeeded on the Eastern Front beyond the most optimistic predictions. Its superb handling and agility made it a very difficult and elusive target for enemy fighters. Its phenomenal toughness was demonstrated by Fw 189s returning to bases safely with one tail shot or torn off by Soviet ramming attacks.

This topic has really taken off. Looking good so far. I am in hopes these are tried and true test subjects?

Slept on it and came up with these, I have not included the Bf-109Z and all the Luft 46 might have beens and other fantasy aircraft on the simple basis that they didn't really exist

I'm slowly picking them off

I just got done with a few flights in the David C Copley array of P-38's and, WOW, what a difference v2.4 and v4.0 are to the one I had (v2.0) Mr.Copley did a great job all the way around on them. I was surprised to see that he's been interested in the P-38's for quite a long time, and perfecting them more and more as time allows. Man they're sure nice :ernae:

Thank You David for bringing us this great freeware :salute:

Yer hittin it hard norab..thanks!! I trial them out more in the morning. Back to bed for this guy..lol

Hi Sascha,
I just downloaded one from here:
http://www.fs2000.org/index.php/downloads/doc_details/3945--fs2004-lockheed-xp-38n

FS2004 Lockheed XP-38N, v4.0. A fictitious variant of Lockheed's famous P-38 Lightning; the author's vision of what the next Lightning might have been. Major model update -- every aspect of the model has been updated since the previous version. This next-gen Lightning is powered by RR Griffon engines turning high-activity paddle propellers for high speed and high altitude performance. Includes gauges by Mike Wagner, Chuck Dome, and Eugene Heyart. Texture assistance from Dan Swart. Complete package, including custom sounds made from actual recordings of a Griffon-powered Spitfire and a P-38. Recorded and mixed by the author. Two texture sets: black with D-Day stripes plus shark mouths, and bare metal. By David C. Copley. 17 Mb.

Stuart

Not quite on topic but it's a twin-boomer sans the extra engine. Back in the early 1970's Cessna toyed with the idea of a smaller, single pusher-engined version of the Skymaster called the XMC (Experimental Magic Carpet). Cessna says it was basically an engineering and technology demonstrator to test new materials, engines, and wing combinations - as well as a ducted fan version - but it looks pretty clear that they were testing the market waters for a new model light single

Apparently the cabin had higher noise levels than that of a C-150 and offered no real improvement in performance over it, but it looks like it'd be a nifty little runabout IMO!

[normb]

makes me think of two more interesting "boomed" airplanes:

Piglet's great Anderson Greenwood AG-14 (one of which Cessna bought and evaluated before designing the Magic Carpet bird. They also did a small twin pusher like a 337 to compete with the Twin Camanche. No production.).

The Crusader AG-4 powered by two Menasco's. Dennis Siminaitis (sp?) did a nice one in FS98 and 2000, I think. Good web page on that retro looking bird.
