Adam Banks Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 It always amazes me how much talent there is out there - and how generously given. Here are some freeware "oldies" from various eras: Fairey Barracuda - almost as beautiful [!] as the Fairey Battle: Team KBT have updated their P-3 Orion - seen here over Whenuapai (NZWP): Robert Richardson's Hunting-Percival Pembroke: Robert Richardson's superb Supermarine Scimitar: Another one from Robert Richardson- the De Havilland Sea Venom: The JBK Viscount over NZSI: All these aircraft look great - and have good/working virtual cockpits/gauges etc. Adam.

VH-KDK Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Magical series of aircraft, all super old planes.. Do these have the V4 installers or have you done it with your editing trick I do have the Orion, NOAA version, with a v4 installer working but those others look beautiful in V4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the aircraft that come with their own installers (Rikoooo, KBT etc.) I point the installer at a temporary folder then copy the files over manually. I find this a lot safer than letting scripts from relatively unknown developers stomp all over my sim. I must say, that Orion is a fine piece of work. Mind you - those RR ones put some payware to shame as well! I live a stone's throw from NZWP, so those Orions are a frequent (and welcome) sight - as are the C-130s (can't wait for a P3Dv4 version!).

paulb Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Excellent Adam! Great to see those old aircraft flying in P3D. I like the Pembroke. Haven't seen one of those for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Very cool planes Adam, I especially like that Sea Venom with its ability to eject underwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy1252 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Thanks for posting these, Adam.

I find this a lot safer than letting scripts from relatively unknown developers stomp all over my sim. My sentiments, exactly. I remember 10 yrs ago having to re-install FSX after one add-on auto-installer made a mess of things. Which has me wondering, can I install FSUIPC in the same way you mentioned, by pointing the installer to a temp folder ? I don't know where all the FSUIPC contents will end up if I use the auto-installer, and always wonder what will happen if I ever want to uninstall it, as it has no uninstaller. I fully trust this product, but keep thinking .... 'what if' ? The reason I want FSUIPC is my latest freeware AC ( FSDeveloper's MV-22B Osprey) will not do vertical take-off - always rolls horizontally, - even with nacelles at 90 degrees (VTO mode). Developer says FSUIPC needed for 'proper function' in FSX SP2 in the manual. (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great list. Loolks like it's primarily for commercial add-ons (that have 100% compatible installers), but it wouldn't do any harm for me to post the info there, thanks. 3 hours ago, MZee1960 said: Which has me wondering, can I install FSUIPC in the same way you mentioned, by pointing the installer to a temp folder ?

I think the capability for P3D to process locations outside the root folder may be restricted to just aircraft and scenery (not sure). You could ask Pete Dowson in the FSUIPC forum - but I'd just put FSUIPC in its traditional place, to be honest. There's hardly a simmer that doesn't run FSUIPC and Pete's a clever guy: it'd be highly unlikly for FSUIPC to mess with core P3D functions. Looks like you're talking about FSX though <?> - which doesn't allow all this trickery anyway. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noone at Avsim has concerns re FSUIPC installer, and everyone seems to ask - why would I want to uninstall FSUIPC anyway ? BTW, the MV-22 Osprey has a V4 update - which I missed - and this one functions without the need for FSUIPC, .... VTOL and all. I think I will add FSUIPC regardless, in the near future.
