Well, I have two more weeks with the company so it has to be done by then.

Guestimate? End of the week (Friday) all going well. Other factors demand it be out for that time really.

YES!!! C-17 in less than two weeks as well? You did say before that you'd see that one through as well!! God, the only thing I hope for at this point is that the C-17 taxis right.

:woot:

:bananapowerslide:

I didn't read Dan's comments in this way. Hu-16 in two weeks yes, but not the C-17. I hope I'm wrong, but I'd be very surprised if we see the Islander, HU-16 and C-17 all within two weeks.

oh btw best of luck Dan with whatever your next venture is. AS are losing a valuable asset imho.

Please tell me where he said that?
 
he said that he would be leaving in 2 weeks and that he was seeing the C-17 project through to the end so he just assumed it meant that it would be done and released before dano left.

Or ........... he is leaving in two weeks but will be seeing the C-17 through to the end .............. by working on it for an hour or so every week if he can spare the time over the next year or two depending on other commitments and family obligations etc etc.
But through to the end definately:173go1:
 
Give the guy a break! I'm certain the C-17 will get released, but only when it's finished and as bug free as humanly possible!

You wouldn't want it any other way now would you?!!!!! :ernae:

:friday:
 
6297 is correct- though I'm leaving in two weeks I will be doing whatever work I can on the C17 after that time to see it to release.

I've got a large part in the already previewed releases and whilst it's all fine and dandy for me to leave- I have no interest in pulling the rug from under my comrades feet.

A few more HU16 schemes will be previewed today.

Freeware- sorry you feel that way Henk. Take it up with AlphaSim, not me, nor the HU16.
Variants- only the B for now, sorry.
 
I said it in the FS9 forum and i'll say it again here ! :

Hot Dang Dan !! That looks Absolutely Fabulous !! Drop Dead Gorgeous !! :faint:

Nice surprise ! :ernae:

I guess no ETA yet, huh...

Edit: never mind, i just read the news at AS. YYIIIHAAAA!! :kiss: :friday: :applause::applause::applause:

cheers,
Jan

While I was hoping for an HU-16B ASW...

...this thing is still such a MUST BUY, that I'm gonna have it as soon as I can!

GREAT WORK!

Thank you. That's exactly the assumption I made based on what he said. I said it as more of a question, anyway.

And both the ones above served with the RNoAF before going to Greece and our museum now works on the complex task of getting one back to Sola :wiggle:

That is very good to know. I wish we could do the same here. We already have a very rare Spit Mk9 and a T-6 under restoration in the museum at Tatoi, where I do my RL flying from. Several other nice warbirds too but few means to work on them.
 
Appetite soaking wet here ! :friday:

Tantalizing vid, Brian, thanks ! :woot: I shall probabely never see a RW Albatross, not the metal iteration nore the real bird ( i've heard that they can soar 100 miles without a flap of their wings )

Seems she had picked up a lot of water during taxi/take-off run... ( landinggear bays ?... )

Ahhhh!! The sound !! Let's hope AS does as good a job on that as the're doing on the external/internal models !

cheers,
Jan
 
I can say I've seen one in the flesh. Came to work one day two summers ago and this was parked on the FBO Ramp...

Here's one at EAA Airventure last year. It is a really neat plane up close.
