Rest of the Grumman 7?

Postby wifesaysno » Sun Mar 18, 2012 4:28 pm

For those of you that have tried the current 4 members of the 'Grumman 7 series' you might be asking the same question I have: What are the other 3?
Anyone know?

Thanks for your interest.

The E-1B, C-1A, S2F, S2A, and a second variant of the S2A with differnt nacelle tails have been released.

The C-1A has also been released as a civilian cargo version.

There are two remaining: the S2Turbo Military variant and the S2T civilian variant with tanks in the CDF fire fighting livery.

That makes a total of 8 aircraft models, all quite different, and each with its own flight model for FS9 and FSX (16 FM's).

As I said in the release information, these will be released as a series.  We are awaiting the turbo prop panel and gauges and textures to be completed.  This will likely require another 8 weeks.

Hope this helps.

Milton,

I did not know you frequented this forum, but since you do I have to tell you kudos.  Everything you release is an absolute gift to the flight sim community.  I know when a model says by Milton Schupe it will be excellent.  If you released a flying box I would download it.  Thanks for all you do.

Milton,

You and your team do amazing work! Your Twin Beech has long been a favorite of mine for just boring holes in the digital sky, and your AeroCommander series has given me hours and hours of pleasure as well. Your work on the Stoof is outstanding. Reeealy looking forward to the CDF turbo-tanker. Can't praise your work enough. Thank you!

Gentlemen, thank you fo rthe kind words and kudos.  We just do what we love to do. :-)

For those unfamiliar, you can check out my website for a collection of our efforts: http://www.flightsimonline.com/

You can download from there as well.

I should mention that today we will be releasing the first phase of the Avia 56.  Another taildragger, and more.  There are actually eight models (wheeled, floats, amphibs, and skis), and 13 textures.  So, you have taildraggers and you have the amphib with front wheel steering, or just the floats with water rudders.

This is a beautiful aircraft to hand fly, to go fishing in, or hunting, or to haul cargo with.  It's all there.  Look for it next weekend at Simviation.

You can get a sneek peek here: http://www.flightsimonline.com/Avia56/

Whatever else you do, have fun :-)

Hi Milton... :)

You and the team do wonderful work...well done and much appreciated... ;)

Just a question:

Any thought of doing a single radial engine (P&W R1340) DeHavilland of Canada "Otter" in all configurations for Microsoft FSX?
ex: Amphibious...Float...Wheels...Wheel/Ski
in some Canadian Livery.

Hello Doug,

Thanks for your kind words.

I develop only for FS9 although I try to make everything "port-over" friendly.  And P3d may soon take the FSX thunder to a new level without all the developer frustrations.

I have the "quad-otter" in final phases of development and hopefully that will be released in 8 weeks.

The Avia 56 has just been released, a very nice single radial tail dragger also with floats, amphibs, and skis.

I am also 8-10 weeks away from releasing another Avia product, a tri-radial, the Av-57.

Lastly, I have the Lockheed Harpoon and Lodestar projects as a WIP and that will command my time until Winter.

Somewhere along the lines, you should also see the XP47J hit the headlines.

And just for fun, if you haven't tried the 427 C.I. Pinto Stock car posted on my website in the WIP section, you are missing out on some super fun in the sun. :-)  Also the radial-powered dragster that does 380MPH in the quarter mile in 4.3 seconds should be available soon. :-)

Sunday, I uploaded the C-1A Cargo version here so she should be showing up today.

You can check out the cargo version and all the Grumman series on my website:

http://www.flightsimonline.com/Grumman/index.htm

There are quite a few repaints available for the cargo version now.
