ALABEO Pitts released! (payware)

[Barnes]

I have got into spins - not got out of them LOL - have you got full realism in settings?

Yes. Now stall the plane first and try to get it to spin (with full rudder). To get out of them simply just take your hand off the stick and feet off the rudder pedals. The effect is instant.

I proved it by letting go of the controls and eating an ice-cream...yep full recovery instantly.

Again talking spins not inability to recover from dives, lets assume you are at altitude first.

Without feet on the rudder pedals and hands on the stick how many times does the plane spin (not turning in small circles) after you have stalled and are forcing a spin ?

Answer = zero.

Compare to Ant's Tiger Moth or Carenado's Cessna Skymaster.

Another person agrees:

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.

Hey P38man, thanks for the link. If I had wanted to listen to someone scream that would have been very helpful:isadizzy::isadizzy:. I just don't understand how ALABEO thinks that video would help sell this aircraft. Come on, not one sound from the actual product??? Oh wait, I think I heard some kind of buzzing sound at one point . Also, thanks for the info on the flight model, you would think that if you're producing aerobatic aircraft that sort of thing should be a priority. Come on ALABEO, you're gonna have to do more than show a few pretty (well actually stunning) pictures. All that said, I do really wish them success as I love the kind of aircraft they have set their sights set on.

Last thoughts
- for the price point I have nothing to complain about.
- in other respects feels OK to me.
- model looks great
- for me model sounds great with extra sounds eg creaking
- liveries are awesome
- very enjoyable to fly
- for this price point it is a superior plane

Sorry I know, that was a copy and paste I used on another website I put in before editing. I adjusted about 30 seconds after posting though your post was 20 mins later after that!
I also got all the detail (despite ages searching yesterday) for the max RPMs so deleted that whole bit.

I like this plane alot - great fun to fly ! One thing i did not like is that every paint have the same pilot - so i play a little ........ now i have white, blue, silvergrey and red with silver-stipes helmets for the pilot and a bit more of "individuality" .

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!

Quite a sound,alright.
Here's a clip of the one that was based at my local field.

BTW, isn't Sibwings working on a Pitts as well?

True But in our pack will be S1 and S2B, no S2S.

As for subj, I do believe interior and exterior were done by different developers. Exterior is stunning, new world in fsx development, tons of polygons and pixels and no freezes!
But panel were done in hurry for sure - a lot of fake (no circuits breakers working, fake tumbler, are fuelmeters working ? why there is no alt static lever but note about it, why there is not compass table but place for it)
Seems they knew about Sibwings too hahaha )

PS
FDE... I'm not expert, but don't amazed with it. I loved Flight Unlimited (1995) this is my own reference of aerobatic on PC.

Instead of cutting on another developer why not put yours out so it can be tested and fairly judged. Seems you've been dragging your feet...sure hope the wait is worth it seeing as how you find the time to rip into another developer. Just my two cents.

Well, please do not got me wrong, it just my impression. If I wasn't invited for testing, but found name of our company in this topic ) nothing personal to Alabeo or someone else, just impression from model. Sorry if I don't understood your words correct.

 

[skyhawka4m]

I understood exactly what you were saying and frankly as a customer of yours I'm put off by your comments about another developer especially when it seems you are dragging your feet on your pitts. If you asked me its bad business for any develeoper to put down another especially in a thread that announces a new product. I love your Cessna but will now rethink any future purchases.

Common man If I'm developer I could not say a word about another one ? Competition is always good thing, I'm always glad with any constructive critics, and I hope Alabeo guys will got my words right.

Good god Skyhawka4m don't overreact so dramatically. One developer criticizing another might not be prudent. But criticism is the judgement of the merits and faults of the work of another developer. It's the motor of progression and quality improvement.

BTW condering your reaction I might take offence to your sexist avatar...

 

[skyhawka4m]

I still say its in bad taste how he put his words...and he knew exactly what he was saying. Coming form a developer who's been dragging their feet forever on a subject that he says was rushed because they knew SIBWINGS was doing one? Why rush when it seems they will enver get theirs out?

 

[Barnes]

I completely agree with you Skyhawka

 

[imn2sims]

OK, I'm gonna jump right in the middle of this controversy and give my opinion....................skyhawka4m, you MUST keep your avatar .

[Roger]

Andrey was asked about his company's Pitts, but Andrey it was very bad manners to jump in with your criticisms of the ALABEO aircraft. They don't have a representative yet at SOH to refute you comments which makes this even more unfair, so please keep any comments balanced. Failure to do so could result in a ban...which nobody wants!

 

[Anneke]

OK skyhawka4m, you MUST keep your avatar .

Steve

Oh boy...

Opens the door. Looks around and comments.

No need to come back and read any further because the topic is so far out in left field from where it originally began, everyone is better off going to Alabeo just to window shop. (shuts the door)
