Some shots of the new de Havilland Dh.89 Dragon Rapide by Dave G! It should be up on most major flightsim sites in the next few days Grin

Really a stunning aircraft!

it is a stunning aircraft

something that i REALLY like is the little windmil airspeed indicator... atleast i think that what it is... its some sort of windpowered pump on the wing... its in one of the screenshots

I am busy flying her down thru Europe and then down the west coast of africa to Cape Town

I don't usually bash freeware, but when a payware company releases freeware, I expect it to be payware quality. the recent release of a DH 89 by a certain payware group was so badly put together, with a poor visual model, poor dynamics, and terrible texturing (including textures in the wrong places Roll Eyes

) that it made me think twice about buying their payware products. this freeware DH just comes to sho how certain freeware releases can just beat payware by a mile.

I just tried it. Excellent. Wink

Pity it wasn't uploaded here - or was it? Seems a shame I had to go elsewhere for it. Roll Eyes
