Auster AOP5

[DispatchDragon]

Dave Molyneaux and the "Auster boys" Brian and Martin (and now Gary who has tweaked the sound to perfection) have just put the Final Beta Auster Mk5 out for FS9 -- based on (as usual) a currently flying aircraft G-AINE, The owner has provided a wealth of detail to make this the best so far....



The panel has a toggle to switch between the original 1940s panel and as it is today, likewise toggling I will add the optional belly tank.





It is a delight to fly.






Finals at Rearsby... it even makes my approaches look good!!!


It will available at http://www.classicbritishfiles.com very soon -- thank you gentlemen all , for those of you who like low and slow it
is the goods.

You can NEVER get enough Austers!!!


and before anyone asks -- No, there is nothing wrong with the tach, it really looks like that in the prototype.

Is there something wrong with the tach? I kid, I kid...

Many thanks for Dave & team for another fine addition to the Auster hangar!

Over 50 Auster types Garry Although some types were just models with different engines and I haven't included those that didn't get off the drawing board.
You sometimes have to wonder if they'd have been a little more succesful in just sticking to a few models only.
Martin gave me a booklet 'The History of the Auster Aeroplane' by A.V.Hitchman, a director of the company in which he states that the production & spares of the AOP types subsidised the civilian aircraft production and that no models other than the Autocrat, Aiglet and Autocar series even reached the break-even point .

Ah ! the tacho - had to look twice at that on the real cockpit photos - makes sense when you realise that it's orientated so that the cruise r.p.m. is at the top.

And the next object is ... an Auster onwards,ever onwards.

My Kaspersky Labs AV is saying that there is a virus and access is being denied! I hope that we haven't had another hack attack!

Its a pop up that appears to have something to do with advertising that was bought to keep the Pond funded -- I am waiting for Rob to surface but everything I can see backstage says its NOT the site....ALL of the library is safe -- if you wish to download the mk5 or anything else your safe -- just DONT click on that installer pop up

The only request is that when the Pond returns would you be so kind as to leave a message on the general forum there saying you have a copy ....Dave likes to know how many copies of his toys are floating about
