And what a view!

Chinook Animated

Image
A Boeing CH-47 Chinook as an animated scenery object. Use WED to place it in your scenery. It flies a left hand circuit over 80 seconds from and to where you place it. By default it flies to the west.   Rotate it in WED to suit. Download here: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/54105-chinook-animated/ Note: The source AC3D 3D-model file is included.  It is GPL licensed freeware so you can modify and redistribute it however you want to. Swap the airframe type, change the livery, modify the flight plan, include it in your own scenery distributions . . . whatever   😎   No need to ask my permission. Liveries + paint kit added as an additional download.   Swap out the " CH47_fuselage.png " graphic file in the H47-animated folder for the one you want to use.

CASA C-101 Aviojet for X-Plane

Image
I first saw the Eagle Patrol C-101s in the Alpujarras a few years back on their way to the Motril Air Show.  My house is about 500 ft above the valley and it looked, from my balcony, like they were on a level with me as they went past. I thought it would be nice to have one to fly around the local area for myself. Way back in time (well, about 5 years ago) there used to be a C-101 for X-Plane.  Only the folder "CASA_C-101_763" seems to be still available.  It was made by " daveddm " (Davide De Marchi) as part of the " TRAINERS_Pack_763 " and last updated in June 2012. By opening this in sucessive Planemaker versions (8, 9, 10 and 11) and simply re-saving it, you can get get it to run on XP11.  Sort of. This version is only licensed for " personal use " and it doesn't look like this is going any further in the near future. So I am looking at making myself a new version. The model in the FlightGear version seems like a good sta...
