Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer (released, Black Box Simulation)

Oooh, love this era. But I’m still coming to grips with the F7U Cutlass and the fun lil Emerald Scenery Design 1500R.

Still, I have all of BBS’s other planes and they’re really good, so I’m sure I’ll grab it soon. Available now from the BBS website, though you’ll have to wait for Marketplace to fly it in career mode.

I must be way out of the loop with Black Box - I had no idea a Twin Pin was in the works! A 100% definite purchase for me.

. . . and it's available outside the marketplace, which means I can adjust the cockpit textures (Black Box struggles a bit there, IMO) and customize the paintjobs! I'm in.

I think some of the texturing could be a little better and there are a few bugs, but I think it's well worth the money. Flies well, very close to the numbers, great performance, superb choice of liveries and I'm really happy that a developer has put the time and effort into developing it, it's hardly a mainstream choice. Spent many hours in Rob Richardson's Twin Pin back in FSX, so I'm glad they've filled a hole in the sky with this!

Give me radials, a really good flight model, and a collection of period steam gauges and I can't really resist. Wrap it all in a pretty oddball UK plane and I apparently have to buy it the moment I get off work.

If I were to buy this, the B-25 would be instantly availalbe for purchase. ;-) So me goonna waits.

Already version 1.1 released which fixes a lot of the issues.

It seems there is still one TwinPin airworthy, here is my first attempt at painting this weird and wonderful aircraft:

JanKees - anything you can do to improve the textures on this otherwise wonderful aircraft will be hugely appreciated.

 

[Killbilly]

Well, I'm definitely not regretting the purchase. It just needs a little texture love (especially inside), but the model looks great and it flies amazingly well.

I've customized the outside a little (1st draft) -- the interior is gonna take some work.

 

[jankees]

Looking good!

I'm enjoying it as well, this thing climbs like a helicopter...well, almost.
