Lol, I use that for target practice on IL2 Sturmovik 1946! Nice pics!

Up is the way to go.

Hey Jan!
How do you like the Storch? I've been following the FSaddon news for a while, waiting for its release. I was wondering if you could share your opinion on it? Wink

Thanks!

intel i7 950.....asus p6t delux v2....asus gtx 285......raptor 150g...raptor300g (fsx)......liquid cooled cpu cooler.....6gb corsair 1600-777........windows 7......antec 900 case.....

It is perfectly fine, a very nice model, with some fun animations (the flaps are operated by a chain for example) and you can really take off and land anywhere. I like it!
I would not wait for Icarus, the shots on their site look awful I think.

have any cockpit shots?...have a feeling yours may be better than the icarus cockpit but i'll have to wait and see.....i just happened to like the exterior better......when it comes out we can post some comparison shots:)
example i got the gloster gladiator from fsaddon and icarus, and i do enjoy aspects of both, although i'm more attached to the fsaddon one in this case.......

intel i7 950.....asus p6t delux v2....asus gtx 285......raptor 150g...raptor300g (fsx)......liquid cooled cpu cooler.....6gb corsair 1600-777........windows 7......antec 900 case.....

this is the only one I have now:

I like the exterior of this one better, looks more like a real Storch. The Icarus one's legs are far too short, as if he's still on the ground..

That's an interesting plane

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Very interesting indeed, cool though! I really like the WWII era German paint schemes, they're neat looking with that blue.
