L-39 for FSX

[brettt777]

I am hoping for an L-39 for FSX. I work for a company that supports and maintains many of the privately owned L-39s in North America. I have Combat Jet Trainer for CFS2 but that L-39, as great as it is, won't work in FSX.

There is one coming, no release date yet.

Hi Brett. Sorry for the slow reply to your post, just noticed it. I've been working on an L-39C/ZA for FSX for several months now. If you're curious to see its progress please visit http://lotus-films.blogspot.com.

Wow your L-39 looks very cool!! 8-)
I have been very lucky and have been up in a L-39 three times and can't wait to go again
If you would please make your L-39 work in FS9 also,I know lots of pepole who use FS9 that would to have a great L-39 like yours.
Keep up the great work

Hi Greg, thanks very much for the kind words. You are lucky indeed having been up three times in one. I had my first L-39 flight a couple of weeks ago, including about 45 minutes at the controls myself doing aerobatics and some extremely low level flight, and it was a life changing experience. They aren't the fastest birds ever made but they are agile beyond belief, as you well know. I'm definitely glad I had a G-suit on for the trip.

As for doing an FS9 version I don't think that's going to happen, for a number of reasons, but mostly because a lot of the things I'm doing with the VC just won't translate over well. However, having said that, the main feature I'm striving for is performance. The plane currently uses about the same render resources as most of the default aircraft, and I plan to keep it that way if I can. I'm building it for multiplayer FSX fliers first, and performance matters most of all to them. In singleplayer it just screams.

Cheers,
