Steve - I don't know about the MS toy program*, but I seem to recall 

that a builder in USA was threatening to develop a Europa model for 

the cross-platform X-Plane simulator:



http://www.X-Plane.com



I looked at the possibility myself briefly but have never yet had the 

time to do anything serious with it - sorry!



* Although called "Flight Simulator", the MS program does not 

actually model the physics/aerodynamics, unlike X-Plane or any other 

simulator worthy of the name. Instead, it's based on a sort of 

lookup-table of situations versus control inputs. Thus its behaviour 

is only reasonably realistic in the parts of the envelope where the 

programmers have noted that for the particular airframe in question 

the aircraft behaves in a certain way for a given starting 

configuration and pilot input. It's a great arcade game, and possibly 

a reasonable (IFR) procedural practice tool, but it's not built on 

the most appropriate underpinnings for a serious simulator.



regards



Rowland

Graham Clarke of Gemin fame, an ex member, did develop a model for his 

own flight sim software. He once showed me taxiing up to the hangar at 

Wombleton on his laptop.I don't have an email address for him. He sold 

his Europa years ago, G-EMIN

There is indeed a Europa model for the X-Plane simulator.

One may download it from www.x-plane.org. It is in the

version 8/homebuilts directory.



You probably need to sign up for a free membership to have download

privs.

Steve,



sorry it's taken a while to reply, I took this message on another computer 

and then forgot about it.



You can get a Europa XS flight simulator (a Tri-gear version) for the 

Microsoft Flight Sim at the following site.
