Red And Blue BD-5

Red-and-blue BD-5 package for FSX pairs a glossy repaint with a clear canopy, cleaner windscreen seam, and a static exterior panel that matches the cockpit view for tighter visual continuity. It includes the complete aircraft and captures the iconic Bede micro-aircraft vibe made famous by the BD-5J’s film-era notoriety.

Red and blue repaint of the BD5 by "Jez G". This file includes the complete aircraft. Repaint includes gloss paint, a clear canopy, and a thinner seam where the canopy meets the windscreen. The static panel (exterior view) now matches the cockpit view. Repaint by Rick Federmann.

The original design for the BD-5 was penned in the late 60's by Jim Bede. This was then made into a home build kit available to anyone for the asking price of around $3000 including a 70hp engine. Later the jet "J" version came along powered by a TRS-18 microturbo jet engine. In 1983 the BD-5J became famous due to its appearance in the James Bond film 'Octopussy' which was flown by 'Corkey'Fornof.

Over 5000 kits were produced and shipped to builders, sadly only around 150 remain flying but in recent years it has been certified as a cruise missile substitute for training and radar testing. The BD5 is not permitted to fly in the United Kingdom though.

    Most FSX add-ons go into one of: SimObjects\Airplanes\, Addon Scenery\, Effects\, or Gauges\.

  3. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.

    I have a FS 95 or 98 model of the BD-10. Is there some way to update it so it will work in FSX Acceleration?

    Fun little plane. I saw this plane at an airshow years ago. It is small. I like the prop version option as well.
