Alabeo Waco YMF-5 & Pawnee Brave!

I've been hoping that a payware outfit would really go whole hog on the YMF-5. This one's going to be a definite buy.

And that AgTruck looks pretty awesome too!

Just about to finish the FDE for the Waco. It's looking very nice but definitely not my cup of tea. Must be horrible IRL when flying VFR because the view from the cockpit so extremely limited.
It's also nice that Waco claims that the YMF is fully aerobatic, but you realize very soon when performing loops, aileron rolls, hammerheads etc. that this not the way she's meant to be flown.
The L/D ratio of 4:1 doesn't make things easier ;)

Looks fantastic appart from the prop which looks like its broken - simular to the damage you see in Rise of Flight when it gets shot off!

well - I love Rise of Flight and I know what you are referring to but - this is a screen capture of a spinning prop so we dont really know from this what the spin animation looks like...
and if I have to go based on what Alabeo has modeled in the past - I would say NOT to worry that the spinning prop animation will be anything less than fine

Heywood is right. Go look at the shots here, the prop looks very good. http://www.alabeo.com/index.php

Oops, that link takes you to front page. Then go to "incomings", then Waco YMF FSX (click on "More Info") that will get you to the screenshots. Click on each one to enlarge.
