Alabeo aircraft? Thoughts from owners?

[Txmmy83]

I am owner of both Su26 & Pitts

I am wondering that there are no 3rd party repaints out?!

because I only bought the waco?
oh no, I have the agtruck too, and love both!
But apparently no painter bought either aircraft.

I agree - I dont do any dusting either...just flying the C188 is great fun - the dusting effect it has is unique and makes for good screenshots - but straight flying this plane is cool
I usually just fly it from one industrial ag field to the other...CEN4 from ORBX is a terrific base for the C188 but there are many other suitable fields to hangar it

I'd recommend C188 and also doing the dusting. It's really fun and aerobatic plane to fly, so dusting fields, dodging powerlines, jumping treelines and doing hammerheads is a blast. There's also fun mission for everyone owning NZ North Island and Alabeo C188:

Well I purchased the Extra 300 and the AGtruck. I will be installing and flying them sometime today or tomorrow and will post my own (personal) opinion of each. Hopefully there will be more Alabeo purchases to come! I love the Waco, and it was the reason I started this little journey lol

 

[Felixthreeone]

WOw. SO, after purchasing the Waco...and then the Extra 300 and AGTruck...and now the Sukhoi and Pitts...

...I have become a monster!! Haha this aerobatic stuff is too much fun!! Well, in so much as the dynamics of the Sukhoi and EXtra almost make me puke when combined with my trusty 'ol Track IR and EZ Dok....they are 'lively'...to say the least. The Sukhoi seems to want to stall (a lot) and the Extra just seems to fight me on the centerline (on the ground as well as airborne). The Agtruck...well, it flies like a squashed buttock. ANd the Pitts....not sure who said it can't do aero/acro, but mine sure does. Maybe my controls are a bit more fussed-over, since I am a RWP. Who knows. I am having a blast with these planes and I can't wait to get my hands on some more FUN stuff for FSX!! Who knew this flight-sim thing was for FUN??? Not me!!! This is great!!! I think I will toss the real-world flying in the bin...and just rip around in the Extra for a few months 'til I can actually fly it in some way that looks like 'controlled' flight hahaaa

Hey guys,
I too purchased the Agtruck, love the detail, i have one problem i have no sound whilst inside the cockpit?
Get out and look around the aircraft and you get realistic engine sound, but nothing inside.
Any ideas would be greatly accepted.

Geoff

 

[jetstreamsky]

Do you hear anything inside the cockpit if you turn your head to one side?

if you do it's likely your speaker setup using a centre channel which presumably you don't have.

...Geoff, I have no idea why that would be the case; I actually had to turn down my speakers with the AGtruck because the noise inside as well as outside is louder than a number of my other addon aircraft...

I said it can't.... I'd love to know what you're doing. I wasn't able to do hammerheads, spins, heck I couldn't even forward slip the thing.

I said it can't.... I'd love to know what you're doing. I wasn't able to do hammerheads, spins, heck I couldn't even forward slip the thing.

Same for me, i'd love to be able to do acro with it. I can't either do sideslips, stallturns, tailslides, spins, snaprolls or a lot of other acrofigures.

I bought the Alabeo Extra today, . It's a beast! I've been trying to learn fsx areobatics in the realair decathlon for some time now. That one is stable and friendly and great to learn in but the extra is something else...I'm having a blast with it!

 

[Felixthreeone]

...Maybe it is my rudder pedals? I don't know... I haven't been able to spin it, but knife edge, side-slips, a (messy) snap roll (that almost always gets away from me) and the hammerhead turns I have had SOME degree of success with. I just put my sensitivities all the way up and man-handle the thing. Oh...and a bit of R/W aerobatic training certainly helps a smidge...


...And yes...the Extra is a BEAST!!! I have been flying the living heck out of it just trying to tame it a little....but it is FUN FUN FUN!!!!

Which plane? Extra ? Pitts ? Sukhoi ? Realism sliders fully right ? Autorudder disabled ?

If you can perform a snap roll (and a snap roll is nothing more than a spin in the horizontal plane) you should be able to spin the Extra, but like with the real one, a clean spin entry is a difficult to achieve and needs practise.

 

[Felixthreeone]

Well Bernt..

Autorudder disabled, realism and all other sensitivities to the right; My snap roll (as I alluded to earlier) was a bit...'disorganized'...

...And I have tried all of them. None seem to want to spin. Lomcevak-style snappies seem to be the norm for the 300, and the sukhoi..well, lets just say I am glad it stays airborne. It is a lot of fun just seeing what I can do with them..And I absolutely recommend anyone who likes having 'FUN' flightsimming give them a go

 

[bstolle]

Both the Pitts and the Sukhoi have a really bad FDE out of the box. I made a new FDE for the Sukhoi which should be available from Alabeo since quite some time.
(Couldn't find it in the update section so I guess you can only see it when logged into your account)
Timing is crucial e.g. for a nice snap and spin entry.

 

[Felixthreeone]

Off to find it now....the Sukhoi is kickin my butt...

..Just went over and logged in; No updated FDE for the Sukhoi, just an update for the Pitts and Aggie

 

[gtirob01]

bstolle, I purchased the Sukhoi through fspilotshop, and have yet to see any fde update. Even though Im having fun with the box-stock Sukhoi, I'd love to see what the re-worked fde can do. Anywhere else I can find it?

 

[Felixthreeone]

+1...This plane is great but needs a Bernt Stolle tweak or two...

 

[bstolle]

I'll send Alabeo an e-mail ASAP. The problem is that the FDE needed a mdl update as well due to the opposite rotating prop so it's only Alabeo who can offer this.

...Thank you, Bernt!! Much appreciated! I would like to tame this somewhat troublesome beastie....:mix-smi:
