Too true - from memory they were using the 1200cc VW engine. When I first started to learn to fly there was one at Inverell in NSW, homebuilt of course - a rarity just because it was homebuilt then!...

Craig Richardson's delightful little Corby Starlet. Australian designed lighty (really an ultralight by todays standards) if you wanted one you had to build it yourself. The used to have VW 4 cyl...
Update for those interested. The VC is grafted in from a freeware KC-135. It has a number of limitations but it is not too bad really. I have nearly finished the main panels and there is a lot of...
Work slowly progressing to make this a not unreasonable flying experience in P3D. The VC is a challenge but coming along. Starting to get that 707 look and feel. Flight performance is excellent.

Expat I had the FSX Native version of this one for some time it worked perfectly out of the box in P3DV5.3 for me. I think if I remember rightly Falcon409 did the Ike Textures to go with his Ike Farm...

A group of dedicated folk have redone the old Posky 747SP - yes the SP - with PBR for V4 and V5. It is on AVSIM. Usual caveats, it is a Posky so it is very fine model but is a Posky so like all...
Ah the Queen Air - yes the only one around is a conversion/update of Mike Stones Queen Air (which I think dates back to Ms2002 or even FS98) but its horrible really, undercarriage legs are too short...
From HJG via MCX the RR Conway powered variant of the B707. Now at least a couple of respectable 707s in P3DV5. Capt Sim are never going to come good alas. I did try the CS VC got it all to show up...
It is from the KC135 Stratotanker package from Rickoo. (https://www.rikoooo.com/downloads/viewdownload/55/919).
It is P3D compatible and with a bit of fiddling here and there with textures the...
Another HJG Conversion to P3DV5 thanks to expat and others for some advice on this. Found a quite useable 707 VC (via a K135) not exactly kosher but working on it at the moment. Flies nicely. At...
Great - I have always wanted the Twin Bonanza in the sim now I know this works ok will have a go at it. First ride in a GA twin was a night in one of these way back in dare I say it 1971. A Rock...
Re the Hawker Sea Fury
Sorry guys only caught up with this one now! I let the installer place it into what it thought was P3DV4 (I have an addon folder in my documents folder that was actually...
Another British Oddity available ex Flying Stations from the link given in the SwordFish thread above is the Hawker Sea Fury. This one actually is set up to go as an addon in P3DV4 so with a few...
thunder100 if you have any issues happy to help out. Gavinc was very helpful with the MCX Model Conversion business. I still cannot get the clear cockpit glass to show for the CV990 for some reason....
thunder100 - not to jump in but I would hazard a guess that it is from the other DC-8 (not the JF one) Thats the one I used for the Convair. Apart from the eyebrow windows (Convair never had them)...
Another British Oddity the Westland Wyvern - single seat counter rotating props from turbines ala the Gannett. Another ex Flying Stations product, fully functional in P3DV5. (The exterior lights need...
Another Flying Stations work the Percival Mew Gull. Again fully functional VC very nice textures and beautifully modelled and no issues in P3DV5.

Another curiosity from the past the Fairey Swordfish. No great affection for the aeroplane but the exploits of the pilots who were forced to fly this front line bomber off carriers in WW2 are off...
Having given up on the JF BAC 1-11 (Flight Pitch Stability/performance/lighting bugs) and obviously no fixes or updates to again be provided. I had given up on the Dave Maltby's original BAC 1-11...
Expat - getting the hang of it. HJG did good stuff. Their attention to detail was pretty impressive - like the 707 they were the only ones who got the 707-138 (Qantas's first 707) right. It is their...
Gavin - thanks and thanks to the FS Developer folk now on the way not perfect yet. Still not for public use alas as this is a HJG aeroplane and I have borrowed some other stuff from some other folk...
Well cant say one does not try. The old HJG Convair worked fine in FSX for me but only with a 2D panel. Thought I would have another go at trying to get this old bird into P3D and with a VC. So using...
This might be my last post here on the compatability thread - I have done all I could with a lot of stuff. Time to sit back and enjoy what is really now an amazing collection of sim models. Anyhow...
A few thoughts and findings on the Metroliner and P3DV5. First there were numerous threads about a number of issues the plagued the Metro in FSX. Bjoern did a number of mods and his package is still...
