Alabeo C188B AGTRUCK FSX Released.

I will have to buy it sooner or later...love the weird look of this type of aircraft. Looks great too!
 
Sweet! I've been waiting anxiously for this one. Unfortunately, I've got no time to fly until Monday; but I may have to buy today! Thanks for the heads-up.
 
sure - just throw another one on my wish...pile

Raz Buckeye
Vertigo Stearman
Golden Age STA
Alabeo Su-26
Carenado Skymaster

and on it goes

...these Alabeo models are frikkin' exquisite from the aspect of their smoothness of form and finish, to their low FPS impact -yes?
 
It's nice to have it with and without the spraying equipment.
Definitely a challenge using the spray version, with a full hopper and half a tank of gas on a warm day.
I made the mistake of trying a full hopper and full tanks first flight. :icon_lol:

Gradually got better the more I dusted.
Around 60% in the hopper, didn't feel as much stall buffeting on the turns with the force feedback stick. :icon_lol:
Really nice vortice effects for the spray too.

The version without the spray equipment makes for a good bush plane, and is rather fun to fly 'clean' as well.
It was a fair bargain at $20 to me.
 
The research for the FDE development was a real eye opener as the POH already 'hinted' that this plane is almost unflyable at its restricted take off weight.
Restricted performance is an understatement!
Also rudder authority is noticable reduced at threepoint attitude (and higher) due to the large canopy.
A rather strange plane to look at and to fly....
 
Hello,

I really love this new addon, the 3D model is perfect.
I've have a little question for the users of this addon:
I've find one small bug when I open the popup window Shift+2" and when I click on "Helmet Visor" switch at this moment I loose some parts of my C188B AGTRUCK.
Please can you tell me if you meet this bug ?

Here 2 screenshots of this bug without click on "Helmet Visor" and with click on " Helmet Visor":

A great thank's in advance for all, best regards. Olivier.
 
Hi Skullleader

Yes im loving this too - these aircraft used to facinate me as a child.

Sorry - I dont get that problem - they guys visor just moves up.
 
This is an awesome little aircraft! I have just been whipping around the countryside near Caboolture in it... Wonderful!
Can't work out how to use the spray yet though; I only found limited docs?

Think I'm going to have to look at some Alabeo's other offerings :salute:
 
Took this up and just let her fly whilst I clicked around the vc t o see what's what. Got up to 6000ft when I finished without realizing it .
The mixture is non functioning -just on or off . There is no NAV GPS , You can turn off the battery and alternater and that makes no difference . More importantly, I too can't find out how to get the spray working.

I like sitting in her and flying it but I do need to spray . Looks great and will be a lot of fun
 
Hello,

I need your help to know the fonction of one lever named: "Switch Hooper".
Once in the cockpit, on your left side there's two levers, one for the flaps and one named "Switch Hooper", please anybody can explain to me the fonction of this lever ?

A great thank's in advance for your help, best regards. Olivier.
 
Unfortunately they don't do Paypal so I'll have to wait until it's on other vendors sites.
 
Looks very tempting indeed at that price. Could someone who has purchased please comment on whether or not an internet connection is necessary for activation? I try to avoid the internet on my FSX machine if possible. Thanks.

...I would be very interested to hear what your thoughts are on the flight dynamics and overall feel. I believe that your experience level makes you an invaluable resource as to judging the accuracy of this model, and look forward to any kind of review or comments...
 
I have not had much time to mess with it but today is my first day off in a while. We are in the middle of our spraying season. I will fly it tonight see how it performs.
