I am aware of this model.

It seems perfect for the era and simulator that is was designed for.

Left well behind by the quality of todays FS aircraft.

A really good reason for some genius to create a fresh up to date one.

Dear santa.. :D

Cheers Nigel -
The VF Forum has been very slow for some things lately, but I was able to view all posts by me, and found my original post about the Basset there:
http://www.visualflight.co.uk/forums/to ... IC_ID=7877

Only one of the pics is currently on the 'net, but I can dig out the others over the weekend if you are still interested after reading the whole saga 8)

Hi Mike, thanks for that link interesting read. :thumbsup:
If you have any more screen shots then that would be great, might spur somebody on in having a go at building one for FS9, unfortunately my artistic skills and patience at trying my hand on a project such as this would be zilch!! 8)

Hi Nigel -
I felt it would be a lot simpler just to go for a brief local jaunt from Exeter.
Posting these as links, because in YAFSS I capture at 1440x900 and reduce to suit the forum.
800 wide loses too much detail. These are resized to 1024 wide, which is too big for this forum.
I notice I am now missing some textures - rear of nacelles, +tailfin & rudder but I know the cause - me :doh:

If anyone wants to try the Beagle, it is still available.

The original site of http://www.flightsimnetwork.com/shigeru/civil.htm doesn't work anymore, but put that URL into the Wayback machine at http://www.archive.org/index.php and some way down is the FS2002 and FS2000 Beagles. Download by clicking on the pictures (it does still work - I've just tried).
