This looks like a great addition to Golden Wings.
I wonder is there is a version for FS2004?
 
I'm getting old... How could I have missed Ted Cook's Argosy!....

Many Thanks for reminding me.
Mike, interesting that a 'senior' knew which Argosy I was looking for..

Cheers,

Ted Cook's Armstrong Whitworth AW154 'Argosy'

Not that Argosy! Not for Golden Wings! They didn't have enormous four-engined turboprops in the Golden Age!

Ted Cook modeled the pre-war Argosy and you can find it here:

Sadly, as of February 2020 Ted Cook's web site is no more .... and the Way-Back Machine has not archived this particular model.

Can someone please upload his pre-war (1926) Argosy to sim-outhouse? The original file was argosyV1.zip

I could not find his model anywhere else. His licensing/copyright notices for other models does allow re-distribution, thankfully. I think all his models should be uploaded as an archive of his wonderful work.
 
That's a challenge.. I'll have a look through my library, I'm sure that i have it somewhere, give me a day or 2.. Í we can get a list of all Ted's [lanes, I'll have a look, I'm sure that I have most somewhere.
 
OK, up the pipe it goes.

Should be available on the download page pretty soon.

Hmmmm.. the pipe seems to be clogged somehow. I'll try again in a little while.
 
OK, it's up. It will appear on the download page when Rami gets a chance to do his librarian thing.

Thanks Mick & Robin for your quick response and efforts to track down that model! After making my post I realized I did have that model in my archives - though I did not have the original installer as supplied by Ted Cook. Here is the original screenshot that I downloaded from Ted's site (before it closed down).

List of Ted Cook's aircraft files

By coincidence, I'm currently putting together a detailed list of Ted Cook's aircraft files - using a list I found at https://flightsimulatorjbs.blogspot.com/2015/07/vintage-aircraft-model-by-edward-cook.html
This list from the above site is incomplete - there are many that aren't listed and also many of the links are to older versions of Ted's models. Ted regularly updated his models over the years - most of them he uploaded to FlightSim, but there were some models that he only had available from his own site (http://www.tedcook.me.uk). For example, His Airco DH6 is only available as version 1.0 on various sites, but I have version 2.0 which does not appear to be on any sim site. I'm willing to share this document once I finish it.

That will be great. I'm sure that I have all of Ted's stuff.
However, I need to find them amongst my portable storage drives.
So, once you have a list, lets have a look at what we have & what is missing, so we can complete what Ted did.
If I may be so bold... Calclassic has a new Vintage forum that is becoming very interesting to us 'oldies'! https://calclassic.proboards.com/board/8/vintage-flying

My Edward Cook collection, in my library, is from various sites, including SOH, for Shessi's mods of the Whitley.
I have 87 Ed Cook files, zipped & I'm sure they are all the latest he did.. I'll eventually open then to check the names. But I also only have the Airco DH6 v1

That's a great idea Robin. I do hope that there will be enough people still using FS2004 and Golden Wings, given the hectic rush by many in the flight sim community to focus on M$'s FS2020...
It will take me a few days to complete the list - I'm including all known versions and the links to downloads available on various sim sites. I'll PM you for cross-checking before I post it.
 
Great, I'm looking forward to the list. I have the downloads, but not where they came from, I tried to find the latest, on Flightsim & Simviation, so I'll colate what I have with you.
 
List of aircraft models by Edward (Ted) Cook

I've now collated a list of all aircraft I could find that were made by Edward (Ted) Cook and posted this as a new topic on the FS2004 General Discussion forum.

Please discuss the topic there.

Not bad, 60 hits for the Argosy in 4 days..
That show that FS2004 stlll rocks & is amazingly popular, after 17 years. Also shows how popular the older aircraft are..
