Yup, good news! We just received the first Beta of the Fieseler Storch and despite the fact that it still needs work and changes, it already looks awesome...... here are a few very early screenies. Hopefully I'll have time to build a little video of it as well.

I've been patiently waiting for this one François... :jump:

You may put me down for one !

As you say, it looks just awsome.

Cheers,

Fleurdelys
 
Looks amazingly great Francois! Been waiting for a proper Storch.....
I'd seen the wips on your site. :applause:

Groetjes!
 
Looking very, very nice!! From my experiences with the flight dynamics on the FSAddon Gladiator and Lizzie, and being very impressed, I am really looking forward to 'feeling' how this one reacts!

From past Storch-related efforts I have seen, it is quite refreshing to see the landing gear struts done right from the start as well! :d
 
I can not wait for this, one of my favorite plans. One thing I have noticed on others that were made was the under and over tank panel line were always off. this is what they should look like. Thank you for doing this plane!!!

Hopefully we'll 'get it all right', it certainly is Simon's and my aim to build things as real as possible. I did an (rather expensive) trip all the way to mid-Florida and spent a day photographing the real plane. Simon did his magic in building, texturing, FDE'ing and animations, and so far we're REALLY happy with the initial beta !

Simon is working on more liveries now, while the team is taking her through the paces.

Some 'moving' features include the properly moving landing gear (which is like nothing else out there), the moving tail gunner and tail gun (and the man can be taken out and the rear chair put upright), a VERY meticulously detailed wing-folding process (you've not seen this on ANY FS model yet !!), the moving flaps 'chain', full 3D virtual cockpit (no 2D included), and a great flight model already! Oh yes, and you can fly her with the engine cowlings OFF ! ;-)
 
I cant wait to plant it right on the aft elevator of HMS Victorious, just like Eric "Winkle" Brown did, using a captured Fi-156... ;-)

Hi guys, finally a note worthy Fieseler Storch. I've flown the one from Piglet back in them FS2004 days but never seen a good one for FSX.

Francois I hope you'll make a civilian version as well without the vollautomatische Schusswaffe (MG) to cater for the non war plane type of pilot's (I hope it's not cursing in SOH :icon_eek:)

Well, then you gonna love this one :)

Here's how it started.... (minus the two very white, very 'un-Floridian' knees)....

And for a guy with my stiffness... (and weight) ... NOT easy to get in!

But once in, a tall dude like me has an excellent view over the dash...... and yes, we'll need to change the default viewpoint in the FSX model a little....

Hallo Anneke, it will depend on how much time Simon can spare...

The GOOD news is that you can take out the gunner, store (fix) the MG, raise the back of the rear seat and fly it on your own without shooting at things :icon_lol:
