i noticed in another thread someone saying there wasn't a sbd
for fs9.. well there is this one it can be found at flightsim..
you will need to upgrade the air file though for it to work properly..very nice model aswell :) :)

Do you need to update the airfile so you can actually get it in the air without it flipping on its nose?

If I remember rightly I had that but got soooo peed off trying to take off.

An SBD for FS9! I'm going to brave the 2kbps download speed of nonodes and get it right now! The FDs won't be a problem for me, FDs are my specialty 8)


While googling "FS2004 SBD Dauntless" I found that it is available on FS9 Vintage page 15 here on simV ::). I should have looked here before, I can't believe I missed this one ::)

I think I might contact the author and see If I may upload my FDs and no MIP textures as an update. I can send the FDs to you for testing if you'd like lemoncat (so I can get a second opinion on realism).

hi, i have alpha-sims dauntless for fs 2002 which i liked. is there any way to use that texture in fs2004, by manipulating it's files with those of the above?? it is now available as freeware on alpha-sim's site.
cheers, vic.

Great shots.
I have that same Dauntless myself and had to swap the air file too.
I love the paint job they have on it too.

Shame the wings don't fold though.

I was doing some browsing and found it at FSFreeware...

It kept doing propeller strikes though...

Also, I found a Cessna RG that has...night lighting and a VC!
