ALABEO Pitts released! (payware)

I was the one who took it off topic lol.

I have just bought it. It is 21.95 US and bought with CC - need to register first. Paints are another download - 3 paints for 11MBs.
 
Oh my, I cant wait for the SU-26 to be ready, that thing in the Honda livery is a thing of beauty! Mind you I work for Honda! haha. Eagerly awaiting this one, and I hope its the same price as the Pitts... very affordable!
 
Yup I'm waiting for the Sukhoi too. This paint is awesome:

Guys,

Just a strange thing...did anybody discovered Carenado's C-172N texture names called? Starts with 'alabeo'... :icon_lol:
 
First off the plane looks great and for me frame rates are good. The price is good. I appreciate having another player in the marketplace.

EDIT - i did more testing and I am certain it does not stall or spin realistically. If putting rudder and stick on full to make it spin it resists and when it does as soon as you release pressure it has recovered.

For a stunt plane I wish the flight model was better - not just numbers - but behaviour.
 
Very happy with this new Pitts!!! As to the flight model...I'm sure we will see someone put out a modeifed one to satisfy the stunt pilots in all of us. For me just having it for the simple flight is awesome! Bring on the Su-26!!

I think 'alabeo' means "roll"...as in to roll an aircraft. Makes me wonder if all Alabeo releases will be aerobatic aircraft.:confused:

Basic aerobatics are good, although I'm having problems with spins and snap rolls. When pulling a snap roll it takes 10G and it's impossible to get it into a spin. Other then that it is superb and well yes she is a looker :)

I hope, the Su-26 will be release soon! And I hope, Alabeo will not mess up the Sukhoi's specific sounds as OctopusG did with his Wilga... :(
These 9-cylinder radial engines without exhaust have a very special and unique sound! And I like it very much! :)
 
Cockpit Controls ?

Anyone know:

what the switch on the upper left of panel is for?

what the knob that pulls out/in at the pilots right knee is for ?

Thanks

Very nice little aircraft. Really surprised at how easily it settled into landing. Other models have not been so easy for me ( a lot of T-38 might be the difference). The sounds on the runaway got my attention and leads me to think the Sukoi may have some authentic sounds. Of course, I wouldn't know the difference anyway, but unexpected life-like sounds of this model may be an indication.

Haven't purchased the Pitts yet, but going from memory, and if the S-2S is anything like the S-2B or S-1S, I think the knob you're referring to will be the Alternate Air control. No idea on the switch on the upper left.

Have to admit it is beautifully modeled and textured and is a great temptation for me to hit the BUY button. I wonder though why they have no video available(or if so I missed it). I know the engine sounds on Carenado products are usually very good but I would still like to hear before I buy. Especially interested in prop sounds as anyone who has witnessed the Pitts in person knows is very loud.

Be warned that the flight model is not realistic however - the bird does not spin. I thought realistic meant it would be like Carenado's Cessna Skymaster. It flies like a default plane not an addon.

I vote for a patch.
