Pasped Skylark W1 from Lionheart - Released!

DennyA

SOH-CM-2023
Bill Lyons has released an MSFS version of the Pasped Skylark (full MSFS detail, not a portover of his FSX version) on the MSFS Marketplace. It's a bargain $14.95, and should be an easy buy for people who like classic 1930's planes.

This was a heck of rare bird: Only one was built in 1935. It’s still airworthy today, though! As a lover of the 1930s “art deco” era of plane design, of rare aircraft, and since I know Bill makes good stuff, I picked it up since it was just $14.95. Definitely worth every penny!


The model looks great inside and out! There are modern radios and a transponder hidden in the glove compartment, if you’d like a little ATC with your classic flying. Handling feels on the numbers for a plane of its era.

Doors open, you can fly with the canopy open or closed, and you can open the battery compartment behind the engine when you’re on the ground.

Only real complain is that, though you can fly with the canopy open, the audio doesn't change. In my real-life experience opening a canopy in flight (one flight in a T-34), the engine noise doesn't increase significantly, but buy, does the wind noise. Hope Bill addresses Otherwise, though, looks and flies great!

Wow, Bill let it out sooner than I expected. Need to fire up the sim and pick this one up! :running:

Was one of my favorites in FS04 and FSX.

Thanks for the heads up.
 
You know I was going to say it would be great if the Skylark came in a float version. Apparently it does! SOLD!d
 
Just a heads-up.

I've tried twice now to purchase the Skylark through the Marketplace using the Steam version of MSFS. Once last night and again this AM. Both purchases failed. So, I've now paid twice for an aircraft I didn't get.

I let MSFS run all night because the Skylark purchase window had a note that "Another transaction is pending. Please wait a few moments......". Still nothing this AM.

I've only had one other transaction fail while using the Marketplace. This event makes me real leery of ever using the Marketplace again without an easier way to rectify a failed purchase.

Bill Lyons?? Or Ortiz?

That would be Bill Ortis of Lionheart Creations
 


Tom,

I actually have the web pages tagged with the instructions on how to follow up on a failed purchase and paying twice for the same product. One is completely useless and the other asks to send them more info than an IRS audit. At this point, I think my time is more valuable to me than the $15 and the aggravation of pulling together an encyclopedia of proof of purchase. I may think differently in a day or so. :)

It is only $15 dollars lost and not 30$, as Steam did refund one of the transactions as a double charge, since my earlier post

Thanks,

Third times the charm. So, she's finally in my hanger.....or just outside my hanger. :)



Noticed the refund in my Steam wallet, so I tried through the Marketplace again and it worked.

I'm not on Steam, but have found that my Marketplace purchases only work if I start MSFS NOT as an Administrator.

Need a few brave souls to test Skylark liveries.

If you have the Pasped Skylark installed, would you be willing to beta test two liveries (one for wheeled version, one for float version).
I am trying to see if once installed in community folder they will show up under the Pasped Skylark selection option.
If you are interested please send me a private message and I will link you to file. All I ask of you is to tell me if they show up.
If not do you have suggestions to fix issues.
Thanks
