RV-7 Today

I've been flying it since the beta, and it is by far my favorite add-on plane. I could take the price of half a dozen of the other planes I have bought and pay that for this one and still be happy. But then, I prefer GA and I am an EAA member so I especially like homebuilt GA..... Each to his own. Either way, the flight model is better than any of my other planes (only by a little) and the way it looks is better than any of them (by a lot).
 
Don't get me wrong, the gal pilot is well modelled and easy on the eye (in a non pervy way:icon_lol:)...it's just I'd prefer to see Harvey in an RV!:icon29::icon_lol:
 
I have both Vans and love this one. The detail is exceptional. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fun to fly VFR airplane. It also does aerobatics quite well. :) A plus for me.
 
I gotta say these cockpits are getting TREMENDOUS. Just absolutely gorgeous. Gauges that work that look that good. Wow.

I'm talking about more than just this one. All across the spectrum, developers are really, REALLY getting good at this.
 
It is a GA must have in my book... The RXP integration is complete, full 3D, the gauges in the VC are gorgeous to look at, the FDE feels just right, the prop sound is not linked to throttle setting, it spins...

I love it. Best spent $39 or whatever it was for months... I mean, even the fuses work...

If you like the A2A/Katana4X type of airplane, you have to add this to the hangar... it is great for punching a few aerobatic holes in the sky as well as point to point VFR... one for OrbX World...

Thanks for all the feedback. I just wanted to post a hello. I think it’s important to have a frank thread and maybe when the dev starts to post it doesn’t help. But I am a SOH member; and, SOH has the best flight model forum by far – so it’s contributed a great deal to the project. I think anyone that has a builder-pilot-owner-EAA streak in them is going to get the intensions of the RV7 project right away. A lot of the great things about FS have nothing to do with all that. So I am really, seriously, happy to read when people do appreciate this work. So thanks for that :salute: :)
Cheers,

What has happened to Bay Tower's site? Haven't been able to access the site or forum all morning...

Seems odd that it has gone down so shortly after the release...

No problems from here, even a couple of hours ago I had no problem.
 
NICE work!!!

I don't often fly GA but when I do...make it Baytower RV7.

Absolutely gorgeous work on this aircraft. I don't mind the lady pilot at all. A variety of pilot choices is always a nice plus for any model. Don't see that very often.

The craftsmanship and artistry of our devs these days is so high that we expect so very much more than say 5yrs ago. What was truly great back then is barely good now. Danny and this Baytower/Vans RV7 have raised the bar yet again to a new level.

Anybody want to put guns and night vision in it and use it for hunting drug runners? No...please don't. 'RV Ronda' might look good in cami.

My car is a 1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata. Its a great little convertable for touring the wine and costal areas around here. Anyway for the fun of it I decided to paint the RV in 'Twilight Blue Mica' based on my Miata. Gave it an NZ registration...always wondered how fun it would be to drive my Miata around those NZ costal roads.
