I've started a new project recently that I think will be a great addition to any pilot's hangar.

It's the Bugatti P-110 fighter.  For more information, click here.



It's about 90% complete for the exterior, and I still have to create the VC.  But I think it will be ready to start airfile testing around the middle of next month.  I could use some help with the flight dynamics, so if anyone is interested, email or PM me.

If you would like to see more shots, let me know!

I'd like to make it compatible with both (a version for each) but I don't have the SDK for FSX, nor the knowledge to make it work right.  I can do the FS9 version, but if there is someone out there that would like to compile it for FSX, get in touch with me and I'll send it over whenever it's ready to convert.

Awsome Locke!

I see bolts  nicccce. What are the 2 cannisters forward of the gear box? Wonder what it would sound like in the cockpit of this aircraft if you were to actualy fly it. With the propeller shaft right under you the gear box out in front and engine behind. Hhhmmm.... Interesting.

Damn that looks cool.  Hope there's gonna be a VC, it'll be worth getting.

Yeah.  That's where I first found out about the P-110.  It's a very interesting design: inovative and different.    But I've always held that FS should be a freeware-based addon program.  I've seen (and used) payware that I thought was below average (no names ) and flown freeware that blew most payware addons out of the water.  Milton Shupe's aircraft, for instance, are a remarkable example of just such a concept.  Each one is painstakingly created to be as accurate to the actual aircraft as possible.  Even William Ortis's stuff is very well-made, and a fair amount of it is freeware.

On the other hand, if you're willing to shell out $10, his stuff is going to give you a much more detailed and expanded version.  The Bugatti Racer package he's set up contains 9 aircraft, 2 cars, a racing course/airfield and the Bugatti estate, along with numerous other addon parts that really create a great atmosphere.

I'm building the P-110 more to test my skills and have one of my own that I created than to go into some competition with his.

The first step in getting it (somewhat) FSX ready is to leave no part untextured. In FS9, the default no texture colour was grey. Now, in FSX, its black.
