Hey Marty, Can you give us a URL? That looks to be a decent model. Is it FSX?

Secretly I'm quite partial to these (but don't tell anyone.)

I remember seeing these flying over my house when I was younger and always admired the fact it could actually fly!

Cheers
Paul

Paul try this :
www.heavycargova.org

It seems to be a different model to my other one....its fs9 but went into fsx ok.. So idont need someone to build me one now....but if anyone would like to put some decent texture on it

The panel is awful , but Im always outside it anyway.

Thanks for looking.....one of the few truk fans, we have to stick together....they dont like us you know

Nice find Marty. I think these machines and the folks who fly them are awesome (in a crazy, gyrocopter kinda way), can I join the AirTruk fan club too??!?!!
Manouverable little sucker, and nice low stall speed huh. I'm really getting the Ag-bug I think, even before this months screenie comp, and Deane's recent releases.

Jeeze, I had a look over that Austrian Cargo VA website, they're got a pretty mean fleet.

It could be a new cause , ..... why can people go to work and continue to monitor there c/phones , they even play games on em while monitoring machines, s , this means i can take a l/top in , albeit sticks out like dogs balls ..... maybe i could get a few extra hours in and paint a truk .

deeknow and ian....welcome aboard.

I think adam and adrian will be next

.....and then.....maybe, just maybe UNCLE DOUG

All joking aside......these things, weird as they are....are part of Ag history and deserve a spot .........just imagine that little guy painted up like the one in Motat....and one at ferrymead too i think.
I dont understand the painting art, i really dont....but I'll eat two of adams bra's if someone could paint it ....not to worried about the inside....Ive got heaps of reference material....ok, I'll shut up now .

Ian, you just relax...I'll catch up with you soon.

Hey, I see our very own DeaneB actually built an AirTruk for FS5/95/98 back in '98, and looks like this one you found Marty is based on Mike Stone's original.
update - oh I see this has already been covered recently: http://nzff.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=...irtruk&st=0

He did...thats what got me hooked on the damm thing....Ive still got it on a 3.5.....so, this new one is Mr Stones.......i have to learn how to paint and texture these things.
