Rick Piper - there's a blast from the past!  He did some great stuff also.

Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Awesome - thanks for the heads up! I loved flying this back in the day - FS9 I think it was?!

Same for me!

Downloading right now... Even the screenshots look excellent. Maybe the best freeware MSFS aircraft cockpit wise?

Dave Garwood, Rick Piper

Some very esteemed names there. Can David Maltby, Fraser McKay, Saverio Maurri et al be tempted in to the world of MFS too? One can dream!

Seconded - I have fond memories of David Maltby's planes too! I think the VC10, Trident and HS.748 were all by him? Absolute classics.

The H748 was Rick Piper’s if I am not mistaken. But I flew David Maltby BAC 1-11 a lot in the days.

Yes.  All good guys who put lots of hard work and detail into their models. 
Rob Richardson as well. His Seahawk is available over at Sim-outhouse fully converted for MSFS, and Jan has done loads of repaints over at flightsim.to.
Maybe Jan will have a go at a few Hunter's now as well!  :biggrin:

I assume you're right -- I was just mentally putting it in the same category.

Ooooh, how could I forget that one. Another classic.

This thread has given me a serious case of classic British airliner nostalgia. I've held off on getting the BAe 146 so far, but I think I can't resist any more now...

Hello Dominique!  Yes, the HS748 was Rick's.  I remember I downloaded everything him and Dave Maltby ever created - it was all good stuff.

@martinboehme @bobcat999@Dominique_K The HS.748 (and the HS.780) was modelled and master textured by Rick Piper in FSDS2, with Fraser McKay doing the sounds and panel (including all that clever fuel trimmer and water methanol injection stuff). Brian Horsey & Brian Withers did the flight dynamics. Others were involved but that's all I recall.

It was one of my favourite FS9/FSX aircraft, though I used it for a lot of VFR work!

Dave Garwood has already ported across his DH-89a Dragon Rapide to MFS, although oddly it's not available at flightsim.to and you have to get it from SimOuthouse forums.

Thanks @bobcat999 Looking forward to flying the Hunter.

Looks spectacular, and flight model feels highly promising. 

Now all I need is somebody knowledgeable to create one of those handy how-to-fly-your-newly-installed-Hunter videos ... I am truly lost in most British cockpits from the era. 😅

Easy!  Ctrl-E, throttle full forward, stick pulled back into the man-garden area!  :laugh:

😂 Thanks @bobcat999, that part I kinda figured all by my lonesome self. But I do like know where to poke and press and according to what numbers to fly. The Hunter looks like a nice new bird to explore and figure out. 

Took the Hunter for a spin around the Mach Loop yesterday -- very enjoyable!
