Ant's Airplanes Releases Tecnam Sierra

Hi,

Does anyone get a "failed to open page" when trying to open the link to the demo? I also get this when trying to go on flightsim store??????
 
I know this is a little early, but for me, both ants website and flightsim store are playing up with "failed to open" messages. Is ant going to up load it to another vendor soon?
 
Hi JayKae,

Thanks for the link. Still get huge loading times, and a failed to open. Strange. This only happened after I cleared my browser cache. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. (Not aimed at Ant or any others, just at my net)
 
the price is tempting for this nice italian light plane :)
so I have to decide between sea king, A51 U2S, Tecnam and other aircrafts but I have the feeling that I end up purchasing the Tecnam

Best Regards
Tom
 
Thanks for the comments fellows

I have updated my webpage so you can download the demo now.

http://antsairplanes.com/sierralsa.html

The limitations on the demo are the prop doesn't spin, there is demo written everywhere, the sounds are the default trike sounds and there is only the white paint.

The specs I gave where basically I what I have and it works on my system :). If you want to know how it will run on your system, download the demo. You should get pretty much the same FPS and resource use as the full version.

Sorry your having probs with the link Craig, have you tried the flightsimstore front page? At some time in the future I will look at other vendors but at the moment it is just the flightsimstore.
 
ok, firstly congrats Ant! I've sure it's been a long road. I've been looking forward to this one since your first teaser pics, which seems like yonks ago. My worry was my framerate limited system might struggle, so thanks muchly for the demo. Downloaded it, flew a 25 minute hop to um, not very far away :) ...15-20fps, no worries-and she's sooo purty (the plane, too). Downloading the pay version now. Looks great!

oop! Download's finished. Goin Flyin'

LPXO

Edit...Just did a hop in the payware model - this is just great! So high-fidelity. I really like it. Did notice one tiny thing - the canopy kept snapping shut after shift+e was used to open it. Maybe I pressed a wrong key somewhere?
Edit again - Must have. can't reproduce the problem.
 
Downloaded the demo, played around with it for 30 minutes, had to go buy it:applause:. Not what I would normally fly for low and slow but it's so nicely done I had to make space in the hangar as this plane will get frequent use, especially for those spur of the moment hops.

And also, thank you Anthony for the great freeware that you've put out over the years.

This will happen if you're parked at a fuel box or sometimes if you're parked on an official parking spot where a fuel truck could service you.
 
I just spent three hours doing patterns/circuits in this bird... no problem except, I didn't start FSX until well after midnight and it was 4.00am before I got to bed this morning.

I'm gonna need help at a meeting or something...

"Hi. My names Simon, and I'm an Antoholic..!"

Lawd noze what'll happen when the new Diamond Katana comes out, or Bills Dynamic...

;)
 
It is a great addon - thanks for that Anthony. During my first flights i notice that sometimes, if i fly turns or change the view, some parts of the interior (compass, chokes, panel) are disappear for a few seconds - in the outside-view. Someone else notice this ?

Not happening here on my feeble back up computer (thinks: Must get round to sorting out the hard drive in the other...), what you've got sounds like texture exhaustion.
Probably caused either by a weak graphic card or some tweak or modification to your FSX.cfg.
 
Hi Snave - it is the first time I notice this - all other addons did not have this "fault".

Edit: Just find out that it only happens when i zoom out in the Spotview

Then don't zoom out in spot view! Problem solved! :salute:

Next I shall solve World Hunger - "Oi! You! Fat bloke. Give that burger to the skinny bird next to ya..!" :running:
