Aussiex.org is still down, so...

Sadly, until Aussiex.org returns (if ever) that is the only source that I know of.
The ORBX home site has no direct connection to Aussiex.org (I checked) so there is no access via their page.

:indecisiveness:
 
Yeah, there is.
I was part of the original team that put the goose together.. I dont think Gizmo nor any of the others will mind after all this time if I share it just this once.. I'm uploading it to my dropbox as I write this, and I'll put up a link here, as soon as its finished..

PS..This may be version 1.20 in which case, I take no responcibility foir the way it flies..

 
Now that I've had time to try it, some are missing in the selection screen, but I'll take a look into the CFG's myself, don't worry about it.

Thanks again.

EDIT: Come think of it I think I remember from the last time I had this, there were some improved water/wave/splash effects, no? No big deal though, and I got the aircraft.cfg right already.
 
Version 1 had them. You can see them in the video above. I'm not sure if this version has them or not..
 
A Big Thanks

Thank you Warchild for the dropbox link. I thought I had this from OzX but couldn't find it so I downloaded it. I looked for some photos of real Grumman Goose and found one that caught my eye because I have the Aerosoft Catalina Island Scenery. Here is the real photo and my repaint of it.

I did a Google search for Catalina Airlines and also came up with one of their old timetables so I am going to have some fun flying around the California coast this week. Originally called Avalon Airways, they had a fleet of 7 Grumman Gooses (geese???) and also had a couple of different schemes over the life of the airline from 1953-1968.

managed to upload two here on the outhouse but then ran into a server error, so now you'll have to wait for avsim I fear, but I included this one as well:

edit: the server error now gives me the same paint four times, maybe the library managers can delete at least three?

What, for the Goose? About 10 I think.
Or in total? Lots and lots, slowly working my way through them...
 
The other repaint

Great job Jan, thank you for the compliment Pam. I would like to be able to get that other Catalina Air Lines repaint.
