    You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
    For MFS paints go to flightsim.to

    Another plane I must have. Crap, the race starts like in FSX/P3D, again I start to have planes that I bought and are waiting for another time because something new and interesting has just come out. Grrrr! Others I didn't get bored of yet and here's another one.

    Agreed Yo Yo !! I had this same affliction when I was making kits as a kid (well teenager really) ... always a sucker for a Hasegawa box-art...

    When I reflected on what I spent on add-ons for FSX/P3D over the years I was determined to be more disciplined with the new sim.

    Lasted about a week then I bought the WACO and away we went again !!

    At least with Utube / FB etc we now have resources available to do decent due-diligence on new products. However the flow of high quality new aircraft and scenery is now relentless and is overwhelming my capacity to carry out the appropriate due diligence.....

    Haha, I know what you mean!
    Luckily, I'm on holiday, so I can wait to see what you guys think of it

    Picked it up, took it for a few laps around the Ketchikan area in all versions. Flies nice and feels like the heavy single-engine plane it is, sounds the business per usual, interior has a great beat-up look with some fun touches (the hidden GPS and vintage-esque tablet substitute are neat). Shape looks good compared to the one being restored here at CYZR.

    it has a few launch glitches:

    • interior not visible in default chase plane view distance -- LOD model just doesn't seem to be there, in that the interior is just transparent. Zoom in and it shows up.
    • flickering dock light on floats, whether battery is on or not
    • spin prop animation weird -- cycles fast and slow on a 1/3 slow, 2/3 fast cycle
    • Water physics are kinda terrible, but I've noticed that with all waterborne planes since SU12. Lotsa bouncing.


    Is it worth it? I think so, but then I am a radial and bush plane fanatic. YMMV.

    If you can, pls write to support too.

    Ad1 - the same it was in DC-3, now its fixed, different LOD of external and interior, very very annoying
    Ad3 - this is what I dont like it too, it brake immerion, its possible to do it better, in many models prop works very ok, so Im sure they can improve it.

    Thanks! I will take the model for 100%, but I would be quite stupid to write to him if I don't have it yet however Im sure its possible to solve it soon. This LOD issue I know, it drived me crazy, because I only fly in VR and there the initial zoom is even further, it looked gross in the external view as there is no cockpit.

    I am interested in this bird and I intend to purchase the model. What bothers me at the moment is the very dark panel, which I can only judge from the screenshots, of course.
    How about that?

    I think the funnest systems bug I've found thus far is the oil temp absolutely skyrocketing on the ground during warmup. Opening the shutters makes it worse!

    I'm in the same boat. The panel is a bit of a bummer, and I'm not saying it's unrealistic. I'm just saying it's boring and hard to see. I may way for some alternate panel options.

    I don't want to badmouth the model that I don't own yet. However, it seems very strange that a lot of deficiencies are already being reported by users shortly after publication. Surely that shouldn't be the case! That's a downer right at the beginning.
    The aircraft was announced with big, promising words. Many of us were really looking forward to having a Norseman in the simulator hangar - and now some serious problems are already reported right from the start.

    What did the beta testers do?
    Will customers be used as second tier beta testers again?

    This is common pratice. Developers don't have the resources to beta test everything, so you the paying customer get to be their tester. - Release product with good intentions- Customers fly and complain- Developer releases updateRinse, Spin, Repeat
    Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.

    I bought it because it’s a BR production so I trust it’ll be upgraded.
    I can’t fly it though because I’ve got the boys here today - I’m on Poppop duty
    looking forward to this evening.
    reading the comments so far it seems a typical initial release - this is the normal deal
    and has been for a long time. Hang in there people

    a bit too shiny I think?

    Big Radials are working on an update, hopefully including non-mirrored wing textures, so I am waiting with uploading until the update arrives. Once the wings are unmirrored, I'll see about doing a few more Norsemans, both civilian and military. I had been eyeing the Buffalo one, but also several Australians and Scandinavian aircraft.

    No, I am waiting for an uodate from Big Radials so that I don't have to do things twice...

    You'll flag to us when your excellent creations have been tweaked after the BR update, & released?
    Thanks

    don't worry, I will. They talk of next week, possibly this weekend.
    Meanwhile I found out what the logo on the nose of the RCAF Norseman was, a badge of the 413 Survey Squadron:

    and I could not resist another Canadian, nice and simple, often the prettiest I think.
