A few more shots before I release her...

I love that last shot of the bird in the mist.. Maybe its just because i watched "Slipstream" once, but this bird seems to look right at home in these mysterious and almost other worldly environments.. Great Job Craig..

Yep, Looks like it could be a "Lunar Lander", lol

[warchild]

I can see why there were very few made... Forget you've left the engine running, exit left and get sucked into the fan


Dave.

Not sure there was enough force to pull someone into the fan or not.. But the real reasons for so fewmade are even more tragic. First there was the crash of a police model that bankrupted the original Brooklands Aerospace ( builders of the optika ) and Edgley himself. He sold the design to another company and well, that company burned to the ground, Then the FAA stepped in and placed a grounding order on it because of cracks appearing ( though the order is unenforced as there are still two of the aircraft flying ). Then Edgley bought the design back,hoping to start building it again..

Everything looks superb, Craig, and what a cool project! I don't know how rare it really is to see one of these, but I've seen this one several times at local events here in Minnesota (it is based at the Anoka County/Blaine airport, north of Minneapolis): http://www.vaq136.com/blaine/optica.html

very cool plane....but is there anyway to make the glass more shiny or reflective? On my system its almost as if there's no glass showing at all. I love the ambient shading...I wish more dev's would use it.

[RKinkor]

Thank you very much for this. I have been wanting one of these for quite a while!

[kilo delta]

Thanks Craig!

i allready have a paint request,yellow overall,with a block type lettering with a shadow,not sure how to describe it properly..but the "N" id like on it..fake one ocfourse "N430DK"...the main body of the letters/numbers in a blood red/dark red...and black shadowing/highlighting..on the vertical tail surfaces..id like "Dirty Daves air service"

id really apprieate it if someone could do this for me, i cant even figure out how to paint a plane....i did do a paint once on lionhearts kodiac....looked nice..but it had a "chrome" appearance to the paint..like the paint had been put on in a tinted chome plating....and it was purple.....i had tried to make it blue....people told me to use DTX program and use the alpha channel....but i dont understand the alpha channel thing at all....how do you change it ect?...

Brilliant! :salute:

And perfect for people like me who love the view from helicopters but don't "like", cough, flying them.

[ryanbatc]

Neat plane! Thanks for making it freeware.

I've got a few minor bugs on my end.
1) Using the gear function (I pressed the button by accident on my joystick) I hear a gear sound and if FSX thinks my gear is up (even though this plane is fixed) I will crash on landing. Can gear be disabled?
2) "S" is backwards on the DG
3) There's no little carrot on the attitude indicator that would line up with the degrees of bank near the top

And a question about the throttle and mixture levers... When I idle them they appear only halfway back in the VC.

in the aircraft.cfg the 12th and 13th parameter for the 0,1 and 2 contact indicate the extension and retraction time for the wheels. change them to 0 and the wheels will not retract.

Is:
point.0 = 1, 7.8939, 0, -4.0463, 1181, 0, 0.6, 30, 0.15, 2.5, 0.6, 3.5, 3.5, 0, 165, 165
point.1 = 1, -1.38, 5.7, -3.8, 1575, 2, 0.7, 0, 0.468, 1.932, 0.65, 5.2, 5.2, 3, 165, 165
point.2 = 1, -1.38, -5.7, -3.8, 1575, 1, 0.7, 0, 0.468, 1.932, 0.65, 5.2, 5.2, 2, 165, 165

Should be:
point.0 = 1, 7.8939, 0, -4.0463, 1181, 0, 0.6, 30, 0.15, 2.5, 0.6, 0, 0, 0, 165, 165
point.1 = 1, -1.38, 5.7, -3.8, 1575, 2, 0.7, 0, 0.468, 1.932, 0.65, 0, 0, 3, 165, 165
point.2 = 1, -1.38, -5.7, -3.8, 1575, 1, 0.7, 0, 0.468, 1.932, 0.65, 0, 0, 2, 165, 165

The other two will take a little more work
