This is another freeware lost classic, with a very nice VC,nice model,and blistering performance.
If you want to blast along at 400+ kts/50,000ft behind 56 cylinders, 8720 Cu", and 16 prop blades,
this is your machine. Ian Lawrence produced the original model, and Craig Richardson at
Classic Wings put the cockpit in it and polished the original textures and FDE. This is my contribution,
4 'what if?'textures for the machine,if it had made it into service,as the R-11A/WR-11A, in the '49-54
period.The 'Square I' marking and black anti-searchlight scheme was carried by RB-45C Tornado's operating
out of Japan during the Korean war. The other 2 schemes, I pulled out of my arse, but comform to markings
and color schemes carried by contemporary USAF aeroplanes. The model was a FS 2002/2004 model, but runs
very nicely in FSX SP1, with excellent frame rates, a perfect cockpit, and minor 'clouds in front' prop issues
in some aspects(no wherenear as bad as some others). The screen shots are in FSX SP1.
Don't turn your nose up because its a port-over, its worth it.

Installation: Run the installer. Unzip the texture Zip.file into the main XF-11 folder. It has
a revised config file with the new textures written in.
Nice job, Gentlemen! She is a sweetheart of an Aeroplane.
