• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hmm very nice, something I'll without a doubt download, looks a lot like what we South African's call a "Turbo Dak" which also was invented here in South Africa from surplice SAAF DC3's ... how long do you recon before completion?

Looks like a good download...

Thanks!
The "Turbo Dak" is different, it's using other engines.
We're still working on the exterior, it will take some time. Kenn Borek Air e-mailed me, the Basler don't got a ski at the back, we have to fix that. The release is planned for september.
In about 1 month we're going to have our right flightdynamics. Then the work on the VC starts.

Hey Cheese Strike - There's one version of the BT-67 that you've forgotten or not known about... Spectrum Air's BT-67 with pointed nose... see ZS-ASN a South African Basler with interesting features..

Nope :D I did not forget her, but we won't be able to built her up, so there is no need for the textures at the moment. Especially the spec versions of the AWI Basler. We don't got enough info on those special versions, the less good pictures on google won't help Manfred in 3d modelling. Maybe someone could get some information on the Spectrum version (maybe some blueprints or a lot of good pictures; exterior, cockpit, size of the pointed nose, special systems, ...). We have the same problem with the AWI special versions. That's the reason why Manfred started working on the VC, he did not get enough info for the exterior.

P.S. there are a lot of different versions of the BT-67

I thought this could be of any interest
Basler BT-67 - N845S - Stevens Express Leasing Inc (Empresa Fachada de la CIA)


During the conversion to turbine, Basler had also installed ferry tanks in the aircraft and its first deployment in 1993 saw it flying to Luqa, Malta although precisely where it went to next or what it did over the years that followed and when it returned to the United States also remain something of a mystery. The aircraft was re-registered N811RB to Stevens Express Leasing Inc in June 1998 and re-registered again to the same company as N845S in May 2000 and this remains its current registration today. The FAA file discloses that by October 2006 its total airframe flying hours had risen to 19,524. Given that when it left AUTEC service in 1976 with just over 7,000 hours, over the intervening 30 years it had an average utilisation of 420 hours per year.

Whilst the writer has no personal knowledge of the accuracy or otherwise of what follows, the many newspaper reports and websites which interest themselves in such matters identify Stevens Express Leasing Inc, the registered owners of this C-47, as a CIA front company, and they may well be right. It is claimed that the CIA uses Stevens Express Leasing and several other companies to appear as the owners of aircraft, which are then used for covert activities. The address of the company is in Cordova, Tennessee which is a suburb of Memphis. Here is to be found a lawyer’s office, the address of which is that of Stevens Express Leasing. The company however has no employees, no business premises and no website. Instead, as one report describes it “the company has a CIA-contracted lawyer who provides a mail drop, registers the company with the state and the aircraft with the FAA and interfaces in other necessary ways with government agencies and the public
