Aeroplane Heaven / Just Flight Lancaster released

Wombat666 hits the nail on the head with pricing. Also those complaining about pricing are forgetting one word ….. QUALITY. From the early FS aircraft the quality has improved immensely. As computers have improved over the years and can handle the latest flight sims so the quality of aircraft have improved. Aircraft like the Lancaster have become more complex. But the Just Flight pricing has remained the same for several years now.


 
My only hesitation would be the possibility of this item going on sale in a month after I paid full price. Looks dam "buster" nice however. Let's see, a half bag of groceries at Whole Foods, or a Lanc? What will he do

I have to agree. Quality and accuracy are the words! I started with FS9 and now run FSX with all the available bells and whistles, and I've been amazed at the advances in the above. JF, A.H, Carenado, A2A, Flight Replicas, Milviz, etc. All produce items that at least visually, are as close as possible to the real thing. We are also extremely lucky to have people like Manfred Jahn, Milton Shupe, and their respective teams, in the same league. I don't mind paying for my hobby, if that is the case. I am on a part-pension, so have to watch the pennies, but if I have to live on bread and water, and limit consumption of the "Turps" for a few days, so be it. Wifey Dear, will just have to restrict the outfit buying also, ("but it is reduced from $125 to $45, and I just had to have it. I have just downloaded the Lancaster, and am having problems with jerkiness, which I believe could be frame rates, and I know sweet Fannie Adams, about computers, but I'll sort it out eventually.
 
Most addons these days are getting more complex. It is a case of reading the manual before you even think of your first flight. And for some aircraft you really need to be an airline pilot to even get through the start up.

Pity the poor beta testers who only have about a 1 page instruction sheet for the first few betas then a manual appears.

But the Lancaster is one of the best so far.
 
The quality goes in and the price goes up, way up. I don’t need a study sim, I just want to fly with nice visuals and don’t need to go through a long checklist just to get in the sky.
I Can’t afford payware anymore. I just wait for the sales and even then not much. Gone are the days of $39.95 being expensive.

BTW, where is the manual? I've looked in all folders. Search did not turn up anything. -d

Wow, now THAT's an amazing picture.

Nice find dvj.

These pictures, real and from the sim, are making it harder and harder to wait with my purchase.

Stop with the teasers........... Nah, keep them coming.

Well it is pretty nice, but I can't figure out those skinny tires. Must be for mud and snow. ;-)

@ any repainters: is it considered nagging and/or whining to ask for a prestine BOB Memorial Flight texture set ?..... ( if affirm i'd still like to go ahead and whine about it... :teapot: )
 
dvj said:
the early development shots for the tyres looked good....

Agreed also!

It maybe because of the textures on the released model or my imagination, but the shape of the cowlings, especially the radiator intakes, looked more accurate in the early preview renders too.

Anyway, another aircraft to add to the "I must by that" list!

Cheers
