Thanks for the HU....think will wait for it when it is either available at PCAviator (where I buy all my add-ons) or for Pay Day, which ever comes sooner!
Had a flight in G-AHUN at North Weald on a New Year's Day in the early 1990s, nursing a hangover for some unknown reason and really enjoyed the flight. Was so different to fly something on a PFA permit that had retractable gear and well moved along. Remember flying over Eastern Essex at Dusk, turning on all the private strip lights, by tuning the radios to the correct frequency!

Am surprised that there aren't many of them in Europe. A really nice aeroplane to fly.
Somehow remember flying one on an earlier Simulator? FS2002 perhaps?
Cheers,
Martin

That would be Bill Lyons old one for fs2004/2 - great little machine for its day and the price was extremely good
FS2002/FS2004 Classic Globe Swift. The Globe/Temco Swift is a neat little two place, low wing, retractable gear, all metal aircraft that is loved to this day by a large group of devoted owners and fans! It has a reputation of being hard to fly and land but as someone said "You fly a Swift with your finger tips not your hands!" It has been called the "poor man's P-51" and the resemblance can be seen in its classic good looks and polished aluminum finish. This package provides four versions of the same aircraft as it may have appeared in 1946, the 1970s and updated to a 210 hp hot rod buring up the present day skies! Included scenery portrays a fictitious Alaskan business at Swift Creek airport (AK31) called Glacier Expeditions which was started in 1946, declined though the 70s and renovated in the present day. By Custom Classics (Lynn and Bill Lyons).
