Hi Eric,
The only versions of these I know of are for FS2002 mate. Can't remember who did the Piston Provost but the Hastings was done by D-GHHH Simulationware and had a number of paints done for it. Both are available at Flightsim.com.. search HP Hastings for the Hastings and Provost for the Provost

Hastings
Although the model is good, I think the sounds are wrong and are more akin to Rick's Varsity\ Valetta\ Viking with the donks from the beaufighter.
I was lucky enough to fly in a Hastings from RAF Lindholme as a cadet, what a machine!

I thought that too Andy but they didn't show (or I missed them with a HP Hastings search) :shock: Tried again with just Hastings this time and they're there!! Don't ya just love search enginesThe Hastings (and Hermes) also had FS9 update FDE's applied.

Don't forget the early tailwheel Hermes looking like long pax Hastings and the Thesus turbo-prop Hermes 5 unless these have been done and I missed them..I only have the Hermes 4AndyG wrote:The only version of the Hermes still missing is the one without wings for display at Duxford!

Ted Cooke produced a Piston Provost which I think was for FS2002. I use it as AI.
It would be nice to see another one built as out of all the aeroplanes that I've flown in, must be the nicest to have poled around the skies. There was me thinking the Harvard was nice (well I would wouldn't I!), but the Provost was a gem. The closest I'm ever going to get to my second favourite type.....the Balliol.
Best wishes,
Martin

I am intrigued to know what sound set you are using - Rick's models appear to be aliased to the FS9 default DC-3 and Cessna 182 sound sets, which surely can't be anything like the real thing. Have I missed somehing here?
A long while ago I did a stereo upgrade to and old set of sounds for the Bristol Hercules engine, theoretically right for the Hermes, Hastings and Viking at least, but I have never had the pleasure of hearing such an engine running so I don't know how accurate the original sounds were. If it is rubbish, I'm not afraid of being told so and I would quite like to know of any sets that are better.
I also did the FS9 FDE upgrade for the Hermes, but to be honest I don't remember using the magic formula for the Hastings.
