[lemoncat]

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

[alan_harmi]

What a beaut...smashing shots

[eno]

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.

Nice Pete...very nice

I am sure you were a Test Pilot or an Air Transport Ferry Command Pilot in your other life LOL

You certainly do make this Forum interesting and Great with all your finds...I would love to have your hangar of finds for real!!!!

Thanks for your posts

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

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


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

thanx for the nice replies
try flying before you doctor the air file chomp....lol
iv'e got it flying really good know just by changing the air file to something else similar..
if you can do it properly chomp how about an updated upload.
that would be great

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).

nice shots! great landing too although it isn't a three pointer  ;)

Now that's a dauntless! :-)

I too have the aircraft in my hangar, should have looked before I spoke...don't remember all of them anymore... :-)

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!
