  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

MSFS MV-22B Osprey is ready to go

Im very curious how the pilot handles the power here. As I look at the real interior, there is no classic throttle here or classic collective grip like in helicopters. There must be a mix of both functions in one, such a combo. I wonder how it works. For vertical take-offs the general collective lever is very useful, but for level flight the best option is the throttle of course. I wonder how it is done in the model.

I have watched a few U-Tube reviews on this one this morning. Having been photographing these aircraft out Yuma/Nellis in the past few weeks one thing I can say is that, even on the Utube recordings, the sounds seem very realistic to the real thing.

Ospreys have a unique sound and to me it's such an important part of the sim immersion.

Very tempted.....

Great news, but the price is a bit steep :/

Note the main price is in Austrialian Dollar, not US:

$51.35 AUD Sales tax will be calculated at checkout where applicable.

US$32.63 | €33,37 | £29.07
 
I was going to purchase it but I cannot because of their limited payment options (I don't use Visa, Mastercard, or AE). No Paypal or other options, I guess that unless this model is made available at another vendor I will be doing without it.

Really good article on how the aircraft flies https://verticalmag.com/features/20112-flying-the-v-22-html/
 
I bought it, shortly after midnight last night. Was so excited to fly it this morning! Beautiful machine, and expected it would be. I was glad to see that VMM-365 Blue Knights was included in the liveries. I had asked Maryadi if he could include it, and he did. Reason I wanted that specific squadron is because I have a friend who is a pilot with them. NC
 
There is one thing I would like to ask about, which is assigning a joystick buttons to the Nacelle Movement. No problem doing that, but in Maryadi's FSX, and subsequent P3D versions, you could assign a spoiler axis. Am wondering if there is any way to do this in MSFS? Maybe with FSUIPC? NCNevermind. Figured it out. I was able to just select the slider as before. Works good; just need to adjust sensitivity.
 
After my post, purchased and happy it is very close to the FSX/P3D version, so not a real big learning curve. Went ahead and purchased the additional amphib scenery boats to land on.

Chief, you only need cowlflap 4 decrease and cowlflap 4 increase keys on your joystick or keyboard to move nacelles. I changed normal flaps keys to cowlflaps settings, because models have automatic flaps.

All in all, it works really fine to me. Very smooth and stable. Transition start -> cruise -> landing is working better than in P3D. Vortex Ring is there, very good Wwise sounds and a very good lighting system. It makes a lot of fun. Maryadi did a great job again.

I guess the price reflects the cost of previously using the free version in P3D. :173go1:

ORBX offers Paypal. To the detrement of my bank account.

I didn't see that option but I will check again.

I just verified, interested in purchasing too, but no PayPal noted either. Maybe the Orbx Direct app has the option?

*UPDATE

Just confirmed the Orbx Direct app does indeed have PayPal option. Bought and installing now.

Yes, I found it on the Orbx Cental App. Glad I got that sorted. It is a very nice model, more tricky to fly than previous versions.
