Wilco P2006T Released

Yes! The # one 2D panel has an option to hid the yoke and seat belts.....

Good find. I saw that little pop up and never paid much attention to it. I was looking for a hotspot or switch in the VC to remove it.
 
in DX10

Actually Bill, it was. But then as you can't open the engine cover with the engine running, there was no point. So animation was removed.(it had to be skinned!) However the part number on the belt is correct....

Yeah, I don't think I'd care to try working on the engine with that big fan spinning around so close to my head either! :pop4:

The details and texturing of the engine are fantastic though! :encouragement:
 
Air Daily X gave a very critical review of the Tecnam. I suppose if I had read that review, I might not have purchased it. Yet it is a fun flyer and looks beautiful in DX10 - IMO. The nav lights are indeed way too bright, easily 200% IMO. but I just turn them off. Still, I hope some of the issues called about out by the ADX review are implemented by Wilco in a future update.

The guy that runs AirDaily X appears to have a major problem with Wilco in general. I seriously doubt if the release was gold-plated and sold for $5 he would say anything good.

And as for those on there who say that the Tecnam is lower quality than freeware...seriously?

No there will be no patches based on any comments like those on that site.

The manufacturer's design team have already written to congratulate Wilco on the release and much of the so-called "bugs" actually aren't further research would reveal that.

Developers are not stupid, they research and ask. Lights in DX10 are an issue because of attachment points and so on. A totally different model needs to be made to counter those. That will happen when all bugs are squashed in FSX first.

I'm afraid AirDailyX seems to exist to tear anything apart if it isn't made by PMDG or one of the other "majors" with 4 years of development time behind a release. Wilco's Tecnam is not one of those and was never briefed to be so. The price alone should indicate that. It is up to one third the cost of some of those other products.

In my opinion, common sense needs to prevail over there.

Back to topic, there will be a patch soon to cover some issues coming to light.

Yea, I got the same impression. He obviously start the evaluation by saying he's never cared for any of Wilco's releases. A great way to open. I think we can be way too picky at times. . .especially those who have never seen the airplane, never flown in one, never worked on one but seem to know exactly how it "should fly", how it "should feel" (that one always cracks me up) and so on. I'm enjoying the heck out of the airplane, sounds good, looks great, flies easily by hand or on AP, great view from the VC and the only thing I would agree with from the AirDaily X eval is that I would have liked to have seen some reflection/variance in the windshield. Other than that the price is excellent and I think those who go solely by that one evaluators biases to form an opinion are missing out on a great time. IMHO!
