Give Thomas a chance to reply before asking basically the same question twice in a row.

Work on Soloys is going on - release of Mark I package for FSX and P3D is sheduled end of July. Before release I will give you a special overview of project here.

Thomas. Thank you for the update. You've done an outstanding job on the Cessna U206G. Looking forward to the release.

Orbx released a freeware airport perfect for the float version

CAC8

http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/top...ware-released/

and to download:

End of July to have this beautiful U206 is great news!

Thanks for the Heads-Up re CAC8, b747.

Good news for all us PNW, Misty Moorings floatplane flyers - and something to be checking out (and getting the best berth ready) for Thomas' much anticipated Soloy Cessna. As you say, a perfect combination!

Just one picture of finished Custom Soloy of my P3D 3.2...

Airfiles are finished! There we had a lot of trouble in past, but finally we made them. I am quite sure you will like it. But they are not for beginners. Very bad sighting forward and a very slow tunable engine...

Always three greens

Very, very nice Thomas. If you don't mind, I shared your pictures on my facebook page as well. After all, you did help me in my early days of development with my Bell 210

Spectacular work! Glad you got past your PC troubles.

Cheers,

Any estimated date of release?

CRG! I glad to see GNT 750 too in VC as option.

Well done mate, i'm impressed. Just one question is it only for P3D?

**davido53** · July 13th, 2016, 15:59

amazing work

No, they are real FSX XtoMdl compiled models. All animations, materials and special used textures or systems (xml programming) are working without any problems in P3DV3+ or earlier versions. The frames in P3D are a tick better than FSX without wondering. (But the frames in FSX are really great - you don´t need to have an eye on it.) The only limitation in P3D3.2 I mentioned is the slower running propeller animations, but not to care to much about it. I used the FSXA SDK for compiling.

It looks almost real

can't wait

**TiAr** · July 17th, 2016, 14:44

There are some more of the final models.

Skydiver version with special animated curtain instead of cargo doors with 3-blade propeller. GPU is selected. You can switch between 3-blade and 5-blade propellers in all situations.

Same version with bigger wheels like real and GPU off.

VC shows selected GTN frames and payware is not installed. If you have only GTN750 active, than GTN650 shows INOP sticker.

All I can say is Ooh Laa Laa!!!

There are the last two pictures of WIP Soloy Mark 1...

Skydive Bigwheel D-ENJB, which shows possible repaints...

And last but not least Tundra-Version with the biggest wheels, which are certified by FAA for Soloy Mark 1. Really nice for Bush-flying.

Now I will collect all models and variations, than write the Doku. Than threre will be a internal last Gold-Test around with the Team. If there is a release date available, you will be informed there.

My plan is to release the Soloys as freeware on www.flightport.de and here on SOH.

Thank you all for your patience...

Always three greens

Thomas
