Epic Victory Jet screenshots

Hey all,

For those that might be interested in progress on the Victory jet, I thought I would show a couple of screenshots.

The model is being fitted with FSX textures or 'materials' (which is a sophisticated process, dialing them all in). There are 3 materials for the plexi alone, as the rear cabin windows are tinted, and the interior is seperate and differently tuned as well.

Fun little jet. I can only imagine what it must be like to own one. Through an ex-employee at the factory, I am in contact with an owner who has a reddish burgundy Victory. Beautiful little plane.

Note; To date, this will now only be available for FSX. My apologies to the FS9 people. (I am one as well.. arrgh).

Sweet...now I will have something to show dem Pop-farts what real flying is all about...lol...Mike
 
This will complement the flying dolphin already in my hangar.

One question though, not about FSX but about buying such PLJs (personal light jets) in real life. If one can afford only one aircraft, what is the value proposition of a PLJ compared a turboprop single that can fly further, most probably faster and better field performance (length, altitude, type)?

They really have those dished access panels, like a Piper Cub??

A very good question Wombat. The market is really fluxuating lately. I watch the planes in Ebay and Turboprops are doing good, where vintage private Lears are selling low, but they are aged planes. This is totally new technology with a super lite airframe, which is a diff twist on the new planes, fuel burn, performance, climbout, etc.


Cool, will it sport the G1000 suite for avionics?

Yes. A slightly modified version of the Epic LT G1000 system. This will have a 3 page MVP-50 screen system for turbine monitoring and basic fluids watch, center mounted. Same Autopilot as the Epic LT with voice system.

I am ready for this...It looks amazing Bill...

Can't wait for her to be released .....:applause:
 
I'm so happy to have a job again. :icon_lol:
I'll have to get this one. Beautiful. :jump:
Yes, any shots of the 'office' yet, Bill?
 
I don't think I can remember a single FS addon aircraft I have ever been so dissappointed about; I have been looking forward to this one for soooooo long...and not only do we not get the Epic VLJ, but FSD has abandoned us as well with the Cirrus Vision jet. Oh well. And to think that while most people are moving to fsx, I just uninstalled fsx from my system to go ALL fs9....:pop4::pop4::pop4:
