An introduction to
the Designers who have made the EuroDirect fleet possible... |
|
|
|

The following designers have
very kindly allowed the EuroDirect fleet to become a reality. We would
like to extend our deepest thanks to them for making Flight Simulation
what it is and we are honoured by their presence on our web pages...
Click on the
images to go to the designer's web site.
In no particular order:
Bill Alderson
Bill Alderson is the President
of Cyber Air and the founder of the Free Flight Design Shop.
The FFDS have probably brought many thousands of aircraft
to the internet as designers download, modify, repaint and
upload variations on the FFDS originals. The FFDS site is
a must visit for anyone interested in flight simulator aircraft.
Bill has so far been responsible for the new ATR72 and MD-83
and several of the aircrafts that formed the initial EuroDirect
fleet. More of Bill's aircraft will be flying for EuroDirect
soon. Thank you Bill, where would EuroDirect and the
flight simulator community as a whole, be without you?

Camil Valiquette
Camil Valiquette is one of the
most well known free flight sim aircraft designers of all.
His designs are mainly centered around the big aircrafts from
Airbus and Boeing and it is, of course, the A330 and A340
that we employ in our fleet. Camil's aircraft are always
in a constant evolution as he brings more and more detail
to the aircrafts and releases them to us in an ever increasing
variety of liveries. We are very proud to have Camil's support
in our project. Thank you Camil, for your kind permission
and magnificent 'Big Birds'.

Sami Puro
Sami Puro, the designer
of EuroDirect's new Airbus A320 and A321 has designed a great
many aircrafts of excellent quality. There can also be found
at Flight Simulator Finland more panels, sounds, sceneries
and other free flight sim downloads than I have ever been
able to count or look at, including an excellent utilities
section containing such essentials as Real Weather 5.xx and
GPSW98. Sami's excellent work for the flight sim community
must be congratulated. His aircrafts have always been outstanding
and we are delighted to have his latest A320 and A321 on our
fleet. We are even now waiting in hope that Sami find time
to release an update for a certain aircraft and allow us to
incorporate that also into our fleet... Our thanks for your
permission and great assistance Sami! That delivery from Toulouse
was extremely timely...

Jim Youngken
Jim Youngken's excellent
rework of the Bill Alderson original ATR72 first caught my
attention in the last days of 1999. Jim is actually one of
our 'rivals', being the founder of Rogue Air, a VA based
in the USA. If Jim's work on the ATR72 is anything to
judge by, Rogue Air is surely worth a visit. Hopefully there
will be future projects in which EuroDirect may benefit
from Jim's skills. We will certainly try to return the
favour! Our thanks for all of your help Jim, we look
forward to further business with your airline in
the future!

Helge Bast
Helge Bast is one of the great talents
of the flight simulator community. Helge's art (and it is
art) adorns many of the best aircrafts available, including
several of those on Barry Blaisdell's homepage. I had
just finished working on the new EuroDirect ATR72 and was
fairly pleased with the result. Then disaster struck!. On
Jim Youngken's advice I downloaded Helge's ATR: I was
amazed... Subsequently I decided to delete my own ATR textures
and start again (after I contacting Helge and asking for some
help)! Unfortunately for us mere mortals, there is no Helge
Bast home page. For aircrafts painted by Helge please go to
Flightsim.com and search using "Helge Bast" in
the 'search for text' field.
