Aero L-39 Albatros

This thing is absolutely amazing. One of the best addons for FSX I ever bought imo. It has instantly become my favorite plane in my Hangar.

Notice the FPS and the Locked FPS, also the Night lighting which usually hits FPS. I have GEX, UTX, REX, and FSgenesis terrain mesh all running and I am still getting excellent frames.
 
If you guys don't buy this, you're $#&*$@# insane. I don't know any other way to put it.

Sell lemonade for a week, sell your wife, sell your dog, maybe even don't eat. Just buy it.

You will be speechless before you even start taxiing. (there is no emoticon here that describes this thing)
 
There really is no words to describe this thing. "Fantastic", "Fabulous", "Amazing" are the closest I can get. Kiwikat is right, Do whatever you have to to get this thing... you won't regret it. I spent about ten minutes just sitting on the ground looking at it. Once I took off, it was even better. Framerates are equal to or better than default planes so it shouldn't be a problem on anyone's system. I wish Lotus luck with this product but I doubt he will need luck... he has so much natural talent. :jump:
 
Thank you all. I am honestly quite humbled, and a bit speechless... seriously. Thank you. I'm overjoyed that you like it.

-Mike
 
Ok I have to seriously consider this...maybe I'll sell the dog rofl

But these landing lights are incredible! Does it really look like this on an average joe's PC?

Yes it does and that is the amazing thing. He made all custom lights for this thing that are hard coded into the model. This thing is absolutely epic.
 
The landing lights are incredible. They actually give the illusion of filling the lenses with light, something no other addon has done, not even the A2A/shockwave 3D lights. :monkies:
 
Well I took the plunge and am suitably impressed! Not even had chance to try things like the landing lights out yet, but I can already see that it looks and flies right. Superb bit of craftsmanship. :applause:
 
Up in the clouds where she belongs... :ernae: (3 different crops of essentially the same pic...)

Ugh between resizing and the conversion to JPEG, it loses a lot of its initial impact... lol

That is spectacular work. Congrats and JWD.

Same here Spotlope!! After reading all the features though, I'm suddenly afraid to fly it !! I have a copy of the real L-39 manual and it sounds like everything that can bite you in real life is there in the sim as well ! :applause::applause::applause: Like I've said before, I think this one is going to raise the bar yet again!

If Mike got some his info from one of the ones I think he did, it's from one of the best in my book. Joe would tell him like it is with the L-39, and pull no punches about what it can and can't do.
 
Before I get this and fly it on the computer, I've got to go up in the real "Pipsqueak" first. Then I can really compare the two... almost. ;) What I do know about the real one is Top Secret. So don't ask.... cause if I told ya, I'd have to shoot ya. Or I'd be shot. And that's no joke.
 
I can,t wait to get home and buy it. Kiwikat sharpen that talanted brush of yours and cheer us up again with at least a second upload. Put your enthusiasm into action cause i,m looking for that bunch of repaints you where talking about.I have doubts I can control myself on not painting one.Let the party begin.:icon29:

I've not even unrarred the paint kit yet. I've hardly even got a flight in. I have work tonight and tomorrow night. Then I'll look into painting... :ernae:
 
Just pulled myself away from it, convincing myself that I probably should go to bed. Not only is it superb in every aspect of modelling, systems and revolutionary features, but it's just simply fun to fly! Spent the last couple of hours just zipping around doing aerobatics whilst admiring the model. Pretty much got the tailslide down to a tee. :jump:
 
Well, I had a good play with it and all I can say is that you have come out of nowhere and created an instant classic mate, it is absolutely fabulous, is all I can say
