Bulldog Finnished?

Post by VEGAS »

Hi all,

Just clocked this interesting little aircraft over at FS Nordic, namely the Valmet L-70 Vinka. Its a cracker and works in FS9 & FSX without any fuss. Thanks to the developers. Enjoy! ;-)

DId they pull it offline agian, then re-release??? I know there was an issue went it was first released a couple years ago. But the issue was squared away and re-released then. Now its a "New Release" agian for a 3rd time? I'm confused. :dunno:

It looks like the one I had about 3 years ago at least, still it was a very special little aircraft then.

No I think this is the old second release - I think neither Vegas or I had seen it before , and that was the reason for the original post - The Finnish FS site
is not one I regularly visit - so when Vegas posted it I trotted along downloaded it and found it a very pleasent model to fly and very pleasing to the eye
its a shame there are only two repaints that I could find - I do particularly like the way the dayglo panels are weathered on the FAF model are done...
flying in all meteric takes a little getting used to, but in the words of an unknown Mosquito instructor from WW2 - "Its a little tight to get into, but once you
do, its luverly" ;-) :-#

No problems, It is an awesome model. Thought maybe it was an update. This is a prime example how large the FS add-on market is. Some see something for the first time, and others have know about it forever(or so it seems sometimes) Places like this help shrink that market down a little.

Might only be the two repaints, because if I remember correctly the Finnish Air Force is the only operator of the aircraft, I to would like to see some others, real or fictional. I still take her out for a spin(literally -she can actually spin in FS) now and then.

Thats one of the first things I did - 30 minutes of airwork - then some aero's starting with Spins and ending with an (attempted) inverted spin - whoever did
the FDE needs a medal - it flies like a comemrcial sim - Im impressed - its now living at my little strip at Kaupo ;)

I posted the link to FS Nordic some months ago as its a very good source of models that don't always get uploaded to the 'big two'. Plus its nice that they get recognised for their dedication. :cool:

Indeed. They also host FiSD (Finnish Scenery Designers) Payware quality scenery at its best (It's FREE). I have done quite a bit of flying in Finland thanks to these guys. They cover all aspects of Scenery add-ons for Finland. Mesh, Building(default autogen replacements) Landclass, Trees, Ice, Forestration, Numerous Photoreal city screneries as well. I think somewhere in the neighborhood of 33 airports. WOW all this Finland talk, I think I'll fire up the FS and go for a flight over that way. Beautiful county.
