Help Please - B24 Liberator

[Rocky_53 1,590]

I'm hoping someone out there may be able to help. I'm adding some drone shots to a short video that someone is making about the crash of a US B24 J Liberator, that came down on the Mendips, in Somerset, during WW2. It's only for a historical society's website, but I wanted to offer some help to them. In addition, I thought  it could be fun if I could grab some video footage of the actual flight path in the sim, if I could get a B24 on FlightSim.to, but sadly I can't find anything. Is there anyone who could offer a suggestion? Perhaps someone who has ported over a model from P3d or FSX at some time which isn't available publicly? It's only a thought, but any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Howard, I've seen screenshots of the Flight Replicas B-24 being flown in MSFS, but there are some glitches and bugs with it, apparently. If you go to the following page at Sim Outhouse, you'll see them, and some more in the pages that follow.

I've no doubt you are familiar with the poster - one of the most renowned repainters in the hobby. If you aren't a member at Sim Outhouse, he is on Flightsim.to, so you could drop him a PM there.

I really hope Mike at FR updates the Liberator and Halifax packages for MSFS at some point - I sorely miss them.

Thanks Paul, much appreciated. I'll follow your lead. Cheers.

I had the FR Liberator and Halifax flying in MSFS before Asobo broke imports in VR, but deleted them then.

If you have the originals (FSX is best) the Legacy Importer is easy enough to use.

Hi Keith. I've been unsuccessful over at SimOuthouse, the originator of the B24 is reluctant to let me have the model for good reasons he explained to me. I don't have the FSX version either sadly. It was just an idea I had that would have helped out this history society that is putting together a short web video of a memorial of the crashing of a B24 on the Mendip hills in WW2. I thought it would be cool to reconstruct the flight for them. Thanks  for the suggestion though. Cheers.  EDIT: Just wondering if there is a free version that is reasonable that I could find somewhere and get it ported?
