VIRTAVIA R3Y Tradewind WIP

Wow, I would have never guessed this would have been next. A follow up to Paul's. I have to say, they're the only ones I can recall who ever made military flying boats other than the Catalina. A nice follow up to the B-45.
 
I don't want to highjack this thread, but, now that you mention it I do have another "BigUn" in the wings. Can you guess? There were only two built.
The Vitavia R3Y looks great!

Best, Paul

Yep, it has contra-rotating propellers too......we need more of these in FSX......:cool:

One of the best contra-rotating propeller aircraft I have come across for FSX is the freeware Avro Shackelton MR3, available at www.britsim.com just in case anyone is interested. It has an awesome third party sound set that you can add to the aircraft too!

What a refreshing change to see Developers stepping out of the mainstream of 'Done to Death' subjects.
Bravo!
:applause::applause::applause:
 
Not one for me but ill agree with its nice to see them going back to the ones not done! Hope they might do a Jaguar again...
 
Paul Clawson did a nice job on the R3Y but I'm glad Virtavia has decided to do one too. Little by little we're getting a pretty good selection of FSX-native (or at least dual FS9/FSX friendly) Cold War aircraft.
 
Wow...this is certainly an offering out of left-field! I can't say it's my cup of tea, but Virtavia is to be commended for modeling such unusual craft for FS. :applause:
 
Hey Paul, any plans to finish up the Shetland? I enjoyed reading about it in Aeroplane Magazine.

OK, to get back on topic, I would love to some of these Tradewinds painted up in some of the high viz gray and white paint schemes that were seen on Marlins. Maybe even in a JASDF orange and white texture as well.
