Introducing the Avia 51

yeah in Africa you'd need it out every night... imagine that smell when you're flying when it gets to the midday sun :icon_lol:... i'm lucky, always keep my Gas Mask/Respirator Handy so i can fly without that smell :icon_lol:

I could tell ya' a story about a Cessna 180, and the bloke who always insisted that his kids, (who were scared to death of the plane) ride with him for his T&G's and stall practise..... maybe after a few mugs of Guinness, then.

Credit to you and your creative peers, Nigel. You make it look simple and relaxing.

I'll break with tradition and built a heated, climate controlled hanger for the new Avia. The least I could do. That's the "eat your cake and have it, too", clause that comes with every copy of Flightsim. You may rack up the hours and still have a brand new aircraft at hand. And when it's SO GOOD...that's the treat.

Lol. I'd love one of those hangars if you get the chance Magoo!:jump:
 
LOL Guys :)

I have been "out of the office" a couple days fulfilling my United Way duties and how nice to return to a newly decorated office.

Nigel has single-handedly turned this bland model into something to be relished both inside and outside. And magically provided sounds, "ear candy" to supplement the "eye candy". With Hurricane91's excellence in research and Nigel's artistic contributions, we may have a winner.

We MAY have a winner???? The '57 is a real gem, Milton.... and gives new meaning to the term "Top Shelf". I have never seen another model like this, done for flightsim, with such attention to detail.:medals:

Nigel and I have been busting butt to get this to the finish line. However a new "quirk" has been added ... but I think we are making headway. Stay tuned. :wiggle:
 
Beta Testing Help

Thank you all for your continued interest and support.

We are preparing a beta test package and will ask several of you to help with the efforts.

I ask that you be a thorough as time allows to check these aircraft from cold and dark through all flight phases, day and night, dusk and dawn, inside/outside, 2D and VC, all gauges, all liveries, short and long strips, engine out scenarios, with your realism settings, against available documentation (such as it is), flight parameters, and crash tests. If you are willing to report on all of this, then we hope we make it easy for you.

Issues and problem reporting required, recommendations and observations are welcomed.

I will send out download links late Monday or Tuesday. I would like your reports by Friday. Barring substantial issues, we look to release the package next weekend.

If you do not have the time over this test period, please say so up front (all of us are not retired :). We need honesty, forthrightness, and genuine, critical, observational efforts to help deliver a problem-free package.

I have developed a list of potential testers who have shown a lot of support and interest. These include:

PeteHam, Magoo, Hurricane91, BB686, Kikas, Moses03, Sunny9850, Duckie, OldPropFan, StuartCox, LemonAdeDrinker, Jagdflieger, and Matt.

If you prefer not be on this list due to time constraints or any reason, just let me know.

For everyone else, if you think you should be on this list (and are not) and have the time to be thorough, speak up.

Thank you in advance for your help. :)
 
Milton, my paint shed will be closed from Wednesday thru till mid-Dec due to redecorating my new room (My younger bro's room now he's moved in with his Girlfriend), i've gotta get slinging paint and buy a desk before i can get painting or working in FS again... hopefully i can sort it out ASAP so i can get back to work on things... all electronics except laptop have gone into storage for a short time... but once i'm up and running in a new room... look out! because i'm going to come back bigger and better than before (i've noted down a few techniques i've thought up in my head, that until i get my livestream back going will remain classified *evil laughter* )

hope you can all put up with me going silent for a couple of weeks? 2012... the year i wish never was after all that it has brought to me... on top of all FS Work i've got my website to massively update etc... this is gonna be chaos, at least Christmas is the same as every other day of the year to me... ie/ work! :icon_lol:
 
I'm more than happy to help out, thank you for the opportunity. Will have to try to not get too involved in the sheer joy of getting her in the air and remember to occasionally scribble down something pertinent:cool:.

I hope me doing the testing in the dark sim won't be a problem, they hooked me with the moving carrier AI and now I can't let go :mixedsmi:. Speaking of carriers, Nimitz deck is 1000 ft, that should count as a short field. 30 to 35 knts relative steaming into the wind, hmmmmmmm, where did I last see that clear deck ship steaming from :icon_eek: :cost1:.

Shenanigans aside, looking forward to it and will try to be as thorough as possible.

Its great honour for me to be chosen as potential tester, but im not sure if i have required qualifications for this kind of work, so perhaps i will not waste anybodys time and wait for final product :salute:
 
Hi,

A great honour to be thought of as a (potential) tester.:salute:

I do try to look after the engines during a flight :icon_lol::pop4:, but the prop tips and undercarriage can come in for a severe beating on some (the majority if I'm honest) of my landings which sometimes are nowhere near the runway although generally roughly parallel to it:icon_eek:

OPF, Nothing wrong with your approach, and I'm sorry, I forgot the other requirement, you must have fun first! :wiggle:

Kikas, there are no requirements mentioned about qualifications. If you are have FS and the time and can try to check out everything as mentioned and report any issues, then you are qualified. We need to know if this package runs on your system and every other system out there, and that it will install and fly as released. You are welcomed to give it a try, but if you would rather not, that's okay too. :)
