[YoYo]

Nice! Haven't bought a Lionheart aircraft for years but are tempted by that

[Bomber_12th]

I'm going to have to be all over this - one of my favorites, and of course done by Bill, its got to be good!

[Sundog]

Nice, I was just looking at pics of those, yesterday. Hopefully he'll model the radial engine version as well. I won't complain if he doesn't, though. It looks amazing. Thanks for the heads up.

Great subject and a save day one purchase for me.

Great subject and a save day one purchase for me.

The same, just pitty that not classic pilot here (like in your's incoming model) but interior has moder avionic too so it could be .

[Mathias]

Okay, wouldn't be me if I hadn't something to nitpic.
I know the Anglos have difficulties with the German special characters but it would be great to get the spelling right.
It would be a Bücker Bü xxx. If the use of the German special character is not possible the spelling would be "Buecker".

[jankees]

I'd love to try this Bücker..

[Priller]

Same here (to fly, not paint) But I would have loved a Jungmeister!!

Ok but sounds from Cessna?


Bucker Release has begun!It is time for another one of my kiddos to go out into the world. The famous German/Swiss Classic Bü-131 Jungmann takes to the skies in the amazing MSFS flight simulator.

First release point is the built in MS Store inside the simulator. When safeties are set for it, I can release to the other stores as well.

The Bücker comes with 15 different paint schemes with variations of trainers, vintage and factory paint schemes to modern, new paint schemes. These were basic aircraft. This is what planes were about back in the 1930's. She does have a radio and transponder, and I did cheat and put in a hidden Autopilot in the panel. Mouse over the circuit breaker buttons to see what they do. Those are for the Autopilot.

Some details that are covered in the manual;
* The doors (small shoulder panels) do not open.
* The secondary pilot does not always show up. The pilots are too close together and cause the front pilot to often hide. Nothing worked to get them to both show up at the same time. I am sorry.
* The soundpack is for the Cessna 172. I and others still do not know how to make soundpacks for MSFS planes. I think the soundpack is very nice as it has cool little soundeffects and groans and clicks. It indeed does not sound like a Hirth, but perhaps in the near future, one might be found.

You cannot know how important it is to read through that manual, even if only to glance through it quickly before a flight. It will have very good and needed information on this plane. Speeds and handling are in there. For one, she bounces. The real Buckers bounce down the runways, so be prepared. However, if you have the ability to learn 3 point touch downs, or even tail first touch downs, you will not bounce. Aside from that, she is a gentle plane that can also do a quick barrel roll. She is fun to land on beaches and smooth grass fields. She will nose over forwards on landings if you have your trim still set for nose-down (from fast flight mode). So be careful. This mainly will try to happen on grass landings with the tail up. Keep her tail down and easy on the breaks and you'll be fine.

Another thing about this plane is that they have no flaps. A steep approach can bring up your speed and then you'll need more runway distance. So you are warned. She also flies excellent at slow speeds.

For those of you who only know Knots and Feet, you are about to go into a vintage European training course. You will need to get acclamated with Kilometers per hour (KPH) and altitude is read in Kilometers/Meters. For those of you like me, try turning on your 'basic HUD' in the sim and it will have small digital windows showing your speed and altitude in standard Feet and Knots. It works in the cockpit also.

The first Cabin camera view has your head hanging out the left side of the cabin to see around the nose. This is my 'landing view and taxi view'. It will come in handy as your panel view is a little hampered by that cool long nosed cowling.

Please glance through the manual.

For those that buy through the various stores, please hang tight as I wait for a way to safely sell through other sites.

Happy flights!

Watched an AA review & couldn't hear the engine. [Laptop sound 100% but I wonder if her sound recording level was set low?]
I've purchased quite a few Lionheart FSX/P3D aircraft over the years and like his work.
I am hoping someone will put a sound mod on .to, or wherever, that can capture the farting clackety clack idling mix of the real aircraft.

Out of curiosity I dug around in the back of the hangar & found a Lionheart Pasped Skylark.
Gratifyingly, it flies in P3D v5.3 HF1, & very nicely too.
The idling sound was similar to what I heard in a couple of YouTube videos of the real BU-131B, but the Pasped radial sounded more like a Corsair when it was lit up.
I think the MSFS BU-131B is an inline, not a radial?

If you look at the engine cowl, yes it is inline.

The Jungmeister was a radial.

Love flying this thing but I hope something can be done about the sounds.

[Tom Clayton]

I need to see if I can talk Bill into coming back here...

[LouP]

Anyone know how to alias sounds to another aircraft (should I start a separate thread)?

[Tom Clayton]

If you got this one from the Marketplace, you won't be able to do it. The files that need to be edited are likely encrypted. But I'm pretty sure that the official forum will get you a good answer to that question for other planes.

[aeronca1]

But I would have loved a Jungmeister!!

Priller

Me as well!

[TiAr]

It is a wonderful rendition. Took the pencil for HB-UUV because stock HB-UVC sadly crashed last year with fatalities in Switzerland.

Have fun

[jankees]

still not available outside the marketplace, is it?

[TeiscoDelRay]

That is a beauty
RC model I used to fly so might have to get out the brushes for this one.

[modelr]

Definitely going to have to get this. Will wait until Bill can get it on other sites. Wondering why he is not selling it through his own site like he usually did.

My Carl Goldberg R/C model I built.

Definitely going to have to get this. Will wait until Bill can get it on other sites. Wondering why he is not selling it through his own site like he usually did.

As far as I understand, piracy. I asked him why it wasn't on Simmarket and that was the issue.
