Our friend Simon Smeiman from South Africa is working hard on his next old aircraft. This one goes very well with our previous release, the Lysander. Why? Because they are ‘buddies’ still today in the museum at Old Warden. The cockpit pictures were all taken there and the beta model is in the hands of our testers at this time…..

Simon Smeiman, author of our Cubs and Supercubs, has released a little gem in the form of an Ultimate 10-300 Aerobatic Biplane for FSX SP2. Simon writes in the assoicated Readme file"…. This freeware model of the Ultimate is my gift to my fellow Simmers especially those who bought my commercial models marketed by Francois Dumas of www.fsaddon.eu.

The model is also dedicated to Gordon Price, the creator of the real world Ultimate.
Gordon was so kind to let me use the color scheme of his aircraft and to display his name as the pilot on the Ultimate Bluehawk model.

Martin X. Moleski, SJ (Marty) is the owner of the abovementioned web site. He was so kind to bring me in contact with Gordon, He also allowed me to use the info from his web site to create the model for FSX. Thanks Marty!….".

You can download it on our download page, see column on the right!

Simon uploaded a paintkit for the Super Cub X Collection. Included are the bitmaps for the various parts on all sides. He mentioned that the dds files and bump and alpha maps remain to be done by the painters themselves (whatever that may mean… you see I’m a ‘painting amateur’ …. and not even THAT !).

Today we released the new T-50 Bobcat from Simon Smeiman. It is Simon’s second aircraft and he has made big strides in terms of techniques used.

The Bobcat is a dedicated FSX aircraft modeled after the 1939 plane, with a wonderful flight model and great textures.
It comes in wheeled and floats versions for both military and civilian use.

Although a tad more expensive than the Super Cub, the price remains pleasant, at only Euro 13,95 for non-EU customers!

We’ll have a boxed version ready in the next weeks, which will be sold on our own website as usual.

For now, get all the info at simMarket here !

Simon Smeiman has been working hard at designing and then improving his Cessna T-50 Bobcat, an aircraft designed in the late ’30’s! Helped by an extremely active Beta Team Simon has much improved his technique and added a load of new features and details to the initial model.

So now we’ll be able to offer you a civilian and a military version, in various liveries…… AND a float version of both !!!

Here are some screenshots to wet your appetite…… courtesy of Nick Churchill.

Some good news for the Flightsim Fans is that I am now working on three separate FS projects simultaneously…. and MORE than me the main authors of course. We have a gauge designer for the Lizzie !!! That’s the good news I want to share first and foremost! It is Scott Thomas, whom I know from Milton Shupe’s projects. Needless to say we are VERY happy having things move forward again!

We’re still waiting for news from Rob Young who seems to have private problems and has once again disappeared from our view…. more on that later I hope.

The second project is Simon Smeiman’s nice little Cessna Bobcat T-50, a twin-engine aircraft from way back when. We are hearing rumors that we can’t use the word ‘Cessna’ anymore anywhere without getting invoiced or sued…. oh well, decent people seem to be the ‘last of the Mohicans’ these days. It doesn’t make Simon’s plane any less interesting!

And thirdly we have AJ Weber working on his LHA, Landing Ship, Helicopter, Amphibious. A naval ship aka helicopter carrier, used for amphibious landings. I’ll be putting up screenshots of these new projects soon. We’re now starting the Beta Process for them!

Oh,and last but certainly not least, Bill Womack reckons he needs 2 more weeks to get his part of Tongass ready before we can put that in Beta too….. we may need to expand our beta Team soon if things continue like this ! ;-)

Yesssssss !! It’s a SUPER Cub, that means MORE horse power and more agility. Brought to you by Simon Smeiman of South Africa who started it as an experiment. That experiment grew out to be a full-blown, 4-version model of the famous Piper Super Cub, based on the Top Cub blueprints.

This is Simon’s very first aircraft, designed with FSDS. It flies like a Super Cub should fly and you can plunk it down just about anywhere in the bush!
Season doesn’t matter, it comes with working skis! Runway not needed, it comes equipped with floats. Or just use the Tundra wheeled version and bounce it onto any river bank!

Simon was so kind to put an extensive demo package out on the main FS library sites, for FREE! But if you like what you see and want to support him to make MORE of this, then $ 11.11 (or Euro 7.77 on simMarket) is not a lot to ask, is it?

Check it out on the product page here, or go straight to the purchase page.

Flight1 wrapper guarantees a hassle-free purchase and each version has its own installer.

HAVE FUN !!!!
