Aero L-39 Albatros

Uh oh... I've been discovered. (Scuttles project quietly...). hehe. :)

Thanks for the kind words Nick. It's coming very soon. Just sorting out the final distribution details and building the website and promo vid. It has a few surprises in store, so I've kept it pretty low key throughout its development.

Cheers,

-Mike
 
Absolutely outstanding! Freeware? I like the idea of a high performance AI model being included...something I've wished had been included with many other packages.
 
Thanks Bone. No, sorry, it has taken me 15 months to develop, full time (at 12-16 hours per day average), so it has to be payware.

Just been looking through the photo album Mike and the only thing better than those lovely models and skins, is the commentary that accompanies the images. :d
 
Thanks very much guys. I really appreciate your enthusiasm, especially in this 11th hour when I'm *totally* out of energy. Must soldier on though. :)

Here are a couple more pics that aren't on my blog.

Oh yeah, sign me up for one of those! I remember spending hours in my Captain Sim L-39 back in FS2000 (or was it 2002?) -- one of my favorite jets ever. This version looks outstanding. :medals::medals:

It was FS2000. I loved the CaptSim's L-39. The other day, I was digging through my old back-up CD's and found my copy CaptSim's L-39. I came this close to reinstalling FS2000.

I will be looking forward to this release.
 
I really can't wait for this, I wanted an l39 for years and i only just found out about this one ...can't wait for it now and great work!!:ernae:
The more Russian jets we have the better I say, I love them all!
 
Haha, indeed it is not a Russian jet, nor should it be called a Czech airplane, Slovaks get very upset about this I discovered early on. It's a Czechoslovakian creation through and through. :) However, considering that about 2200 of the 4100 L-39's produced went straight to the Russian air force, I guess you could say it's theirs as well.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. I agree, it's been too long since there was a new L-39 for FS, hence my start on this mad journey over a year ago.

This L-39 is a bit of a different beast. I've built it specifically for Shared Cockpit training and multiplayer formation flight from the start, with an obsession for high framerate, all at the expense of my sanity.

If you like abusing your friends in Shared mode with system and instrument failures and all that, you'll probably get a kick out of this thing. ;) It's good fun in singleplayer, but to really experience all it has to offer you'll be wanting to fly online with your victims... er.. I mean friends.

All things going according to plan (like that ever happens) she'll be out in a couple weeks. :)

Cheers guys,

-Mike
