Hi Stoney, Froggy did an update (for FSX although it should also be OK in FS2004) of Ted Cook's Vickers Viking (the update is in KNIL colours). The original FS2004 model was in 'factory ' colours if I remember. You should be able to find them both at most of the obvious places (and Froggy's on the Hangar's own download page). The original aeroplane was a bit of a 'killer' (couple of famous pilots bought the farm in it) so I tried to soften the characteristics that Ted had accurately created, for the FSX version, if you download both you can then fly which ever suits you. The paints should be fully interchangeable between the two versions. Leyland

Lee Holmes' Supermarine Sea Eagle was designed for an earlier sim (much earlier). I can't now remember which sim and my link to his web page doesn't work. It was never finished and I don't think he's active any more (sadly). Froggy and I 'looked at it' and devised a better panel and flight characteristics (it's all relative, of course). But I don't remember us having the source files, so I guess it's going nowhere and any interested party would have to start from scratch. The cabin opening animation is interesting, the wings fold and the amphibian undercarriage does work. These pix are from Golden Wings as the model isn't speaking to FSX (or vice versa). The sim world's full of interesting might-have-beens Leyland

Is that Craig's Sopwith? If not where can one find it?

That is a nice airplane. It would be nice to have one for flightsim!
