Hi everyone,I have some good news for fans of oldtimers, "roaring thirties" and air races.Since I'm waiting for certain upcoming flight simulator ;-) and can't build warbirds right now, I've moved to "peace time" production aimed for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.The idea for "Races'n'Records" series was born.As we know, 1920s and 1930s were still pioneering years of aviation - first there was a surplus of airplanes and pilots after Great War, then the developments of technology allowed to fly faster, higher and farther. Many air shows, rallies and races were organized both in USA and Europe. And it wasn't only C.Lindbergh who dared to make a very long and dangerous flight. No wonder that everyday newspapers and radio covered those events, as people were truly interested in those aerial stunts and those magnificent men in their flying machines, who were treated like celebs.I'm a great fan of history of aviation, so I have conceived a series of add-ons focusing on the most memorable of Polish planes from 1930s, which took part in international contests of touring aircraft - Challenges, which featured an air rally around the Europe (few thousand kilometers!), National Air Races in USA and various European air races, aircraft which were exhibited on famous Salon de l'Aviation in Paris and also the airplanes which made long flights, like around the Africa or across the South Atlantic.You can lear more from my article here:http://www.9-1939.pl/index.php?lang=en&men...records&skin=S2I invite you all to www.rr.9-1939.pl website, where you can find more information about this project and people engaged in it, see latest development updates (screenshots!) and ask questions on our forum.Our first aircraft - RWD-9 - is already "in production".http://www.9-1939.pl/images/Projekty/rr/Mi...y/RWD-9S_13.jpgYou can also expect to find other downloads on our website - we plan to add more repaints of existing FS2002/2004 aircraft (Ju 52/3m coming soon), custom made flights (recreating actual ones), scenery objects (I'm making a balloon :D from Gordon Bennett Cup Race), as well as wallpapers etc.Gentlemen, start your engines!

That's great to see. I head up "Roaring Thirties" which contrary to its name covers both the 20's and 30's. We fly the air races you refer to. Our next race is the Powder Puff Derby starting on August 20th which for the benefit of others who won't know was a race from Santa Monica to Cleveland, Ohio in 1929 (National Air Race). Coming up is the Kings Cup of 1937, one of the Mew Gulls flights to South Africa and the list just keeps getting longer - not everthing we do is raceing :-) .I have bookmarked your site (nicely done BTW) and I will post a hello in your forum when I have time (tomorrow I think).I will send you an email asap re some other "stuff". If you to want to know who we are try the website below or the Forum here at AVSIM (Roaring Thirties). We are always looking for suitable aircraft so post a hello if you can?Andrew BrownROARING THIRTIEShttp://www.gordiusfs.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/
