Bobcat

Thanks for the heads-up, Nick. I'll discontinue any further work on the T50 I'd begun some months ago, as there's really no point anymore... ;)

That's going to be an outstanding package! Don't forget the "Sky King" livery though... :ernae:
 
I didn't no Nick did liveries :wiggle:

I too will be looking forward to this :D
 
Oh yea...We need the Sky King one for sure....:applause:


Looking good....:ernae:

I always think there is room for two of any product in the market place, although I'm no developer.

Something like the one attached Bill?
 
Very nice!

I am looking forward to this.

:ernae:


Bill N4Gix; You are a secretive person! I didnt know you had been working on a Bobcat!

Extra nice! Sign me up! :ernae: I always wanted a good model of Songbird, which really was Kirby Grant's personal airplane. I'm not sure why they switched to the 310B that was used in the later seasons...
 
I fly the AS Bobcat all the time and love it. One thing that would be nice with this new FSX version would be a pilot or the cockpit occupants without the stupid airline pilots cap. I know not everyone who ever flew the Bobcat had one of those laying around so they could slap it on when they went flying. Also, I thought the accents on the Songbird were red, not blue. As for why they changed from the Bobcat to the Cessna. . .no real clue. I liked the sleek look of the 310 over the Bobcat. . .it suited the prestige of Sky King more than the Bobcat for me and it's also possible it was pitched to the production company by Cessna for marketing purposes. . .an extremely popular show and a great way to get their product before the general public since it was a freebie to the show from Cessna.

No sweat. I had started work on this about a year ago for a planned freeware release, since none was made for FS9 or FSX, and the freeware FS2k version just plain didn't look all that great in FSX.

I've just shoved it back further in the hanger for now, not wanting to take away anything from this outstanding project!

As with all my freeware projects, it was being worked on "as time allows," which is another way of saying "not very fast at all..." :whistle:

Goodness knows, I've got more than enough to keep me busy for the next few years! :faint:
 
While you are here Bill, I'd just like to say thanks for your 3GB switch post on Avsim. Followed your instructions and they worked a treat.

Simon Smeiman is the developer behind this Bobcat, just to clear up any earlier confusion too :ernae:

Actually, without hijacking this thread, there is a very nice Bobcat from AlphaSim for FS9, been out for years and now freeware. This one will no doubt raise the bar but it isn't the first for FS9.

You ask, you recieve :wiggle:

Despite the lack of data on the float conversion, Simon has created what I think is a very pleasant example.
