Well such that type of AC inhabits the Caribbean its on my hit list.:friday:

 

[deathfromafar]

Yawn...

 

[Nick C]

And there was me thinking Dan had been contracted to make that by another company. Funny old world.

 

[gajit]

Wow - thats great news provided it is to the high standard of the Turbo Mentor :friday:

 

[MudMarine]

Yawn...

Make that a double!

 

[falcon409]

Make that a double!

Yep, there's one I've always wanted. . .NOT, lol. Man, where do they find these airplanes?

"The ubiquitous Islander is the best-selling commercial aircraft produced in Western Europe. Adaptable, versatile and durable, it has an unsurpassed record of solving transportation problems simply and economically in some of the world's harshest environments."

 

[MudMarine]

Make that a triple yawn!

 

[Roger]

Well it's clear which direction they're going:costumes:

 

[VCN-1]

This site is a hoot. Alphasim has not even released the product and it is taking jabs.

AlphaSim is poised to make good sales with this one....

There was a freeware Islander for FS2002 that did quite well....Given it's immense popularity in Europe & in the Islands, AlphaSim stands ready to make a good profit....

Well we're used to Alphasim giving us mainly military aircraft for the past 10 years and suddenly it's going mainstream.

They announced after the EZ's release that they going to build more civie aircraft...:mixedsmi:

 

[deimos256]

Is this one going to continue the trend of VCs taking a month to load up?

 

[VCN-1]

I guess the fact it is not a military bird makes it open for jabs even before it is released. :isadizzy:

Who knows it may be a dog that can't hunt but then it could be something unique and has all of the bells and whistles. According to its site it looks like Alphasim has created a a KLN-90B for it. IIRC it is an early basic GPS.

Actually some AF's in the Caribbean use this ac for SAR roles and relief. So in a way the Islander has a Military role, its just in the backlines on the homefront.

I have to agree. If you don't like Alphasim and this airplane fine, but do we really need all these yawns. At least wait until it comes out and give them and it a chance.

Seriously is that right?

The RAF have a few Islanders, and I think the Army do as well. Unless they gave them to the RAF. I think they were used in Northern Ireland for surveillance work fora bit.

Agreed 110%. Im going to due some International Military research and see if i can come up with a couple caribbean AF schemes when release date comes.
