I took a few shots of this aeroplane as I was testing it in today's real weather at McLeland Field:-





The other shots can be seen here:-

Thanks for looking

Peter, is that the Tracker by Milton Shupe & Co ? If so, do you know what the status of an FSX version is ? I've done several searches, but can't find a definite answer.

Yes Paul, it is by Milton Shupe and team and they has released two of the Grumman series...The E1B and the S2F-3. I have them both and they definitely say they are not to be used in FSX. I think there are about five more in the pipeline but I don't have a clue what they are doing about FSX.

There will be native FSX versions eventually but the guy who offered to do the FS9 to FSX conversion is currently busy on another project so it may be a little while before he can work on the Grummans. As to whether the FS9 ones will work in FSX I would suspect so (most of Milton's planes do) but they may have the usual prop/glass/gauge issues encountered with port-overs.

I think Milton made the 'Not for FSX' statement as he is very busy trying to get the rest finished for FS9 and couldn't really spare the time to answer questions from people trying to port them over. However, at least one SOH member has posted that he has them in FSX and is enjoying them immensely. I think that post was made in the SOH FSX forum rather than the FS9 forum which carries all the other related threads.

Here are three shots of the Grumman E1B starting engines:-







The S2F-3 uses the same startup effects...Very spectacular!
