Knowing Mike, I assume the sounds which come with his Boomerang will be good. However the sound which come with the "now freeware" Aeroplane Heaven Boomerang are very nice and very much like the sounds you hear in these movies.

Cheers,
Huub
 
Thanks for the info on the Aeroplane Heaven model Huub. I forgot about that one. Unfortunately I don't know much about the plane itself or the history behind it. I just know what I like. If I like it, I try my best to support those who provide quality material. Like anything I spend hard earned wages on.

Time to open the hanger doors and let in a little sunshine. Time for a ride :ernae:
 
Lovely stuff Mike!

Very impressive. And the sounds (to me) sound real good.
....Time for me to get out my glasses for a bit of reading the manual.

Great little plane Mike.

Thank You

Almost forgot to say, the pilots must wear a parachute pack that doubles as a seat cushion. I can't imagine anyone sitting in that metal pan for any length of time.
 
I'm happy to have made the purchase. My skepticism of the sounds I feel were acceptable IMO, but I feel I owe Mike somewhat of an apology for saying anything before the model was even tested by anyone.

The sounds are real impressive. This thing really growls and gets up on step. The fly-by sounds excellent. It's very agile in both performance and handling and smooth to transition from flight to landing. Full flaps, touch down and it slows right down on the runway.

I highly recommend anyone purchase. If you've flown one in previous sims and liked it, you'll love this thing.

Great job on the modeling Mike (and team). Great job on the gauges to Wozza. The panel looks real nice. Along with the rest of the cockpit.

Based on what I know, I give it a 10/10 :ernae:
 
Woot, not a Spit Stang or Schmitt. Wonderful! :salute: Might have to step on my own rules and get this one!
 
Hi Guys;

This is a question for anybody who has flown the Booma; do you actually have to wait for max revs on the inertial starter before engaging the starter? :jump:

Roger that. It's neat the way Mike has it integrated. Max rpm..let go...bang and she fires
 
Went up for a test flight and ran into one of our RAAF mates in Hudson, so I tagged along for a while. Nice ship Flight Replicas!

You can thank Wozza for most of the interesting xml (eg. starter, blower, engine failure, guns) in this aircraft. :)

And thanks, everybody, glad you're liking the Booma.

Indeed ! ( Thanks Huub ! :salute: )

So what about that extraordinairy 'whine' then ??.... Nobody's interested in what causes it ??... ( this IS an aircraft devoted forum, is it not... :wiggle: )

Does anybody know ?? ( i mean what causes the 'whine', not if this is an aircraft devoted forum.. :p: ) A build in Stuka sirene that the restoration team found underneath a pile of junk in a corner of the hangar perhaps ??.... :)

Great job, as always, Mike ! :applause: ( love the engine details ! )

cheers,
jan
 
I've heard that the whine is due to the cannon openings, or something similar. Other than the videos, however, I couldn't find any reference to this anywhere, and you'd think it would have generated nicknames or something like that?

Hi Jan
Thats the pilot screaming in the cockpit, you will notice its louder when the canopy is open :D
just kidding.... I could be wrong but pretty sure its the cannon barrels singing.....

BTW guys I didnt do very much in the gauges department, just a little bit of code bending in the background 99.99999% was Mikes work ;)
Cheers
Wozza
 
Thanks, guys ! :cool:

Extraordinairy sound, isn't it. Been reading up about the Boomerang a bit but nowhere a hint regarding the sound, as opposed to other aircraft that produce a typical sound during flight like the Corsair and Harvard.

It's not like this restored specimen is the only example that produces this sound, could it ?

cheers,
Jan
 
Looks Nice I could use a New FIghter plane :salute: not sure when i can get it soon though i have some other planes on list still
