Aerosoft DR-400 Robin released!

Not sure if I prefer Lionheart's one or not... I think I do actually. It looks a lot nicer... but systems in this... hmm, hard choice.
 
And I have now both, and my old PC like both, no differences in the FPS. (on my old PC)

Both have their merits I suppose - but a pity neither commercial developer has modeled a modern Robin with the increased glass area . I still like the old freeware fs2004 model by Yannick Lavigne, Fred Banting, Rob Young and Eric Dantes . I have Bills model and probably will get this when I have more free cash - a sucker for DR400's - if I win the lottery it would be the 2nd plane I'd buy after a Sequioa Falco. Would need something to tow the glider/sailplanes fleet with!
 
frames is fantastic. It sure is NO frame hog (well at least not that I notice on my machine). On par with latest other offerings

One thing that I still need to get working everytime is the starter. I seem to struggle get her started all the times. but maybe it is just me.
 
I'd be very interested to hear a subjective opinion of the vc. Is it in the A2A/Realair/Carenado league? It's difficult to tell from screenshots. I'm hoping that,considering the time it took to develop, it would be up there with the best.
Thanks
Dave
 
A2A/Realair - U have to be pretty hot to be named in same crowd. I dont think they measure up to these (for me at least)

as to the rest - this plane can pretty much stand up to all other big name GA developers

Someone did post about some prop animation video. Maybe if you take a look you can sort of get better picture about cockpit.

I think the plane is very well made..!

Very nice looking model. I like the panel shading.

"respect"..!

In this day and age where people only interest in "their" products, it is nice to see one developer can still appreciate anothers work. but then thats what we used to from Bill
