Make it look like a Mossie an im in!:jump:
I have a fondness for De Havillands
The vc Does look great
and the price is good
I cannot really comment about
the aircraft itself as i do not own it
but i probably will
H
 
I agree that the VC looks good, but unless the Rapide is your favourite aircraft, the price difference in the two models exceeds the difference in quality.

Without the freeware model, I would have bought this one.

What's the point of having more than one version of an aircraft in a sim when one is freeware?
Dave's version is great and arrived on the scene just as I had upgraded hardware and software for FsX and for someone who doesn't usually fly anything more recent than 1955 it was a superb present. However the Icarus version is not a copy of Dave's, it stands on it's own as an alternative, modeled in that now familiar Icarus way and as such deserves attention on it's own merits.
 
roger stop with screenshots please...we had agreements for 100 usd each screenshot no more lol......joking...lol
 
Congrats Icarus! I posted on another post. We need to talk to each other mate. I have some updates for you ;)

If my funds weren't so limited right now, I would be absolutely buying this. Cheers on the release, and I wish you success.... and if I have anything to do with it, I'll help drive some business your way mate.

tiger moth it should one of next aircrafts, actually same gladiator's modeller it's working on the Storch(he made also the dragon)...but it will look as a tiger moth not as a dornier x...it's a promise lol

if there is someone with a good engine sound for tiger moth it's the only thing missing.

have to say thanks to manuele villa and the references he sent me...ala littoria now it's my favourite skin...easy but 1935 time looking era

it could be interesting make sm-55...but gauges references are pratically impossible...my dream was an sm55 with mission adventures balbo...but not sm-55 still present except a bad brasilian version...and know how was panel design and instruments....if you can help with that manuele...it's much appreciated. I have all "istituto luce" balbo movies with sm55 but also there only few seconds of the panel and only a part.
 
Got a question in all fairness (well actually 2)
This is a native FSX model, right? and the freeware version, is it FSX native as well or a port over?
Icarus, dude, don´t get hurt by someone´s dislike on your product, trust me, you can´t please everyone, and there always be someone who finds your creations awesome..

you are right...but each aircraft it's like a son. if only one...and it is actually only one..it's unhappy i am unhappy too. i am too much temperamental on reaction...but this is a passion not a job for me(it's more a job for the other modeller i pay before i sell a model..he take the money me the criticism lol)...i am lucky i do what i like.
 
nice to read and see also your models as last one on progress lioneheart
 
OK, so i went and downloaded the freeware version, keep in mind i don´t have the payware one, BUT based on pics posted here:
The Icarus version have a more advanced virtual cockpit, freeware version, well, it stands as it is, but most definitely not MY cup of coffee, i´ll say Icarus nailed, big time.
Exteriors, well, the freeware version "feels" like it was intended for fans to make new paint schemes for it, while the Icarus version seems more "complete".Either way, both are great as they are, and i really think you have to be a Dragon Rapide fan in order to acquire the Icarus version, if you´re like me (not a rapide fan, for that matter) well, the free one will do, I for one, deleted it after a few hops, but just because is not my thing.
Best regards

i sent you the code now...sorry was outside...yes roger i wasn't on the release lol
 
i enjoy flying the Gladiator and will be purchasing this one in the next couple of weeks when my pension allows the funds to become available.

If it comes with a paint kit then I may have to look at some Aussie repaints.

Cheers
Pat
