Douglas A-26 Invader

The Sim-Outhouse (SOH) is proud to announce the release of an historic model – a freeware model produced by a community of avid flight-simmers at www.sim-outhouse.com. Responding to a challenge to produce a highly-realistic model of the Douglas A-26 Invader, SOH members volunteered and took on assignments to produce gauges, textures, sounds, 3D components, flight model, etc. Other SOH members scoured their resources to provide photos, information, and even video recordings to help make the model the best they could. When the time came to test the model SOH members eagerly signed up to beta test and help work out the bugs. In total, nearly 100 people have contributed to this model in some way or another.
