Epic Victory and Avelina; WIP

Here are a couple of shots of the panel in the Avelina. This is a 'maybe' panel. I plan on having 2 versions of panels and also a steam gauges option.

Well that's one heck of a sweet looking panel. I love the woodgrain! So I'm hoping that's going to be more than just a 'maybe' panel. :) Both aircraft look fantastic, great work as always, Lionheart.
 
Yes....Yes...And Yes .....


I'll have them all please.............:applause:
 
Waiting, waiting, waiting... for both to be released. :jump:

Hey Bill, I know this is FS and not real, but can Avelina run on something other than AVGAS? AVGAS is getting scarce in my region.

Its funny you mention this.

I was going to make a hybrid that runs on both a hydrogen engine/fuel, and a electric motor for 1 hour of flight on electrics alone. The first Avelina had solar cells in the wings so it could charge without a charger and if you only flew an hour, you could fly on electrics alone.

But I ran into a few snags and sophisticated details, like how to have a hybrid engine system (two versions of fuel burn, two versions of fuel). I wish Aces had put that in FS9 and FSX.

Also, there were issues of hydrogen being avilable at all airports. It think its easier to get at an airfield then avgas.

So I am wondering if I should even do the hybrid 'original' version of the Avelina.

Actually, why not a jet fuel sipping diesel? You can of course add the hybrid part, if weight is not a problem.

By the way, if it is hydrogen, make it a H2 fueled Wankel engine (Mazda Hydrogen Renesis), if that is what you have in mind. :jump:
