This plane was released for FSX/P3D a couple of days ago on simviation, so I think it is a private conversion yeah. It does look damn good though!

Yes, it's him, but I didn't convert him, I just got him to fly. He's doing very well.

Another cargo mission with the "Pig" last night. Still can't get VNAV working but I will conquer it soon !!

I flew this type real life many times. Old and slow but you could stay aloft with as little as 50 cm/min thermals. Many passengers enjoyed their flight to the maximum duration of 30 minutes while the ones who wanted the most modern gliders were down in 5!

Like this one did

For even better performance go for 75-80 km/h AIS. For the Schleicher K7 90 km/h is too fast.

Got asked to fly a load of beef to Nassau for a couple of restaurant owners - seems there's not much ranch land there. In addition to my fee, they arranged for a load of seafood to go back to the states with me, fee to be paid by more restauranteurs. My load arrived way late, but my contact in Nassau want the beef, so I'm on a night flight from Page Field just south of Ft Myers Florida. I'm flying the route "TVFR." That's Tom's Visual Flight Rules - I can see my gauges, so I'm fine! I decided to go without the GPS as primary nav, so I'm waiting for the Nassau VOR to pop into the radios while I maintain a course in the right general direction.

Turns out over a ton of beef makes the 208 a real bear to get climbing. Getting to 12K at only 500 FPM takes a while!

True... I believe the "airscrew" was wooden though

Damn, a wrong prop. That explains the sudden loss of power.

I do hope your mods with the pilot's showing for the Ka7 and Pirat will get released soon. Never liked the fact that they didn't have pilots showing in external view -always looks silly to me! I prefer the all wood Ka2b to the Ka7 in real life -it flies better. Took the son of the chief pilot of the Shuttleworth Collection 'Doc' Bailey for a 100 km cross country flight many years ago in a Ka2b. Flown many Ka7's in real life and the lowered wing version, to make it look like a Ka13.
