Rottydaddy posting HERE?!

Postby beaky » Thu Dec 01, 2005 12:05 am

I have lost count of the number of freeware birds I've played around with, but I've been hunting in vain for a proper Cessna 152, like the two I will start renting soon for those flights when I just need to keep my hand in or take one person for a ride... so I finally caved in and paid- yes, paid!! for a model: Flight One's very nice C152. Just the thing for "enhanced chair flying". It handles pretty much like the real thing: won't climb worth a damn with a full load, gets 95 KIAS in cruise if you're lucky, and requires some attentive rudder work to keep the ball centered. I'm very happy with it so far.   ;D

Image






The VC is nice; not a masterpiece, but detailed enough and with very good animated shadows, etc.
Image







For some reason the OBS and DG card can only be adjusted in one direction, but there's almost always some stupid quirk to deal with in a real rented C152, so I don't mind.

Image





The 2D view is very photorealistic... dig the old Collins stack.
This view is good enough that this will make a good platform for IFR flight... and oh, yes, no AP. I want to make more IFR flights in the sim- I think doing so in this basic machine will be beneficial.

Image




An interesting comparison: VC wing view versus 2D. But I prefer the VC "feel", myself, for VFR flying.

Image





A very nice paint...
All I need to do now is figure out how to tweak the too-bright nav lights, then make repaints of this model to match the two new RL C152 "friends" in my life, and I'll be all set to pre-fly my little "missions".


Image
Not spectacular shots and probably not the finest payware C152 out there, but it's a good start and a milestone for this old tightwad!!
;D

Heh? :o :o

Welcome Rotty! ;)
Personally, I prefer Carenado but they dont have a 152 (except the FS2000 one  ;D)

I suppose this is probably the best one around, so congratulations on your purchase! ;)

And By the way, nice shots!  :)

I'm glad you're happy with her, I like her too, she's my second and only other payware plane aside from my TurboPorter... those nav lights are a bit bulbous though...

I'm envious about your flying a real one, enjoy it!!! :)

Very nice shots Sean...especially the cockpit one ;)

Have never bought any payware so have no idea what is out there.  
I wonder if everything is covered in the SimV download section as far as what is available or not?

I am still looking for a DeHavilland DHC-3 radial engine (PW-R-1340) Otter on amphibious floats, wheel/skis and wheels in Royal Canadian Air Force Livery, United States Army or Air Force Livery and Canadian civilian commercial livery.
I would have thought there would be one in Bush Flying Unlimited by now and usable in FS 2004.

It would be nice to have a site with all payware available and compatible with FS 2004.

Again great shots...thanks.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Hi Dave:

Sorry right company...DeHaviland of Canada

But:

Wrong aeroplane :)

That is a DHC-6 Twin Otter and I am looking for the radial engined NOT turbine PT6A engined DHC-3 Otter.

Cheers....Happy Landings....Doug
