Hey all,
Beautiful screenshots Ferry!
Yep, free update. Build 2.0, the Avelina Mark II.
I added 7 new paint schemes, created/mixed a brand new Soundpack for it, dropped several older paint schemes to make room, fixed a couple of things, and re-released it.
I have wanted to do this for a long while and finally got a chance. The previous Soundpack just wasn't good. It was really loud and rough. The more I thought about it, the sound should be low, an electric hum at low RPM, and a turbine like whine at high RPM, like an electric car would sound like on the highway. (I had heard one of the old GM electric cars on the highways before a few times). They sound like the Chrysler turbine car, a bit. The Chrysler was very muffled, the sound barely heard. So, I created a Soundset for the exterior that has some fan noise mixed in, and inside you have a nice, cool, turbine-like whirr sound, like you would have in a new 7 series BMW or a new 4 door Benz.
When P3D is released, I can put in a 3rd installer that will export into V2. Waiting for that.
The manual hasn't been updated, so if it says an early build, just ignore it.
There is one bug, the nose gear will not turn right. I couldn't not figure this out. All my other planes (tail wheels) work fine, but the nose gear on the Ave (and on the Diamond DA40) do not turn right for some crazy reason. When a fix comes out, I'll upload a MDL file updater.
The first installer from earlier today also had the German and the White/Red paint schemes as double entries. I had repaired that in V1 (P3D) but not in V2, and uploaded the duplicates, so that was repaired a few hours ago and re-uploaded, so if you are downloading now, you 'should' have the secondary installer without the dual entries of those two planes. SimMarket should have theirs in a few hours (they are asleep). Same with JustFlight.
I think the Soundpack really does it for this girl. This is what its all about are those electric motors and a quiet prop like on the DeHavilland Q-400's and Q-800's.
