Aircraft Request

[prickett]

Alright, I'll just flat out request it...Anyone up for the challenge of making a decent Learjet 23?

Mike Stone? I like your Learjet 35; I'm sure you could punch out a nice 23.

Eaglesoft people? If it was made by Eaglesoft, I would buy it.

Anyone?

Sure, just give us a couple of years to finish current and already planned & researched projects first...

...then we'll jump right on it! ;)

Fr. Bill, you mean that ALL the Eaglesoft project aren't going to be released in two weeks?¹

Unnecessary sarcasm?

[prickett]

There's gotta be someone who appreciates the older and smaller biz jets... like the Sabreliner and the Lr-23...

[FelixFFDS]

Screw those - you'll salivate at the Lockheed Jetstar that's in the works!!!

Sarcasm? Sure, but perhaps not unnecessary. Evidently you are one of those folks who don't appreciate that it takes a dedicated team months to produce high-quality, complete packages.

From the decision to produce a specific model to final release may take up to a full year, depending on the available resources, and personnel.

With one exception, all of ESDG's current projects are being developed from a list that was compiled nearly three years ago. The one exception being the new Columbia 400...

This project had it's genesis just three months ago, and was initiated by a request made directly by Mr. Barrington Irving, the pilot who will be flying the historic, round the world flight this May. When Mr. Irving contacted Microsoft to be one of the sponsors for his flight, they not only agreed to do so, but also offered to develop some "Adventure" files to complement his record setting endeavor.

*see: http://experienceaviation.org/ for details on this historic flight!

Microsoft's ACES Community Development Manager gave Mr. Irving contact information for several payware development companies, among whom was Eaglesoft. We at Eaglesoft have eagerly embraced this project and have shuffled our resources and stretched ourselves to the maximum in order to meet the deadline.

However, this has only been possible because of direct involvement, support and information supplied to us from Columbia, Avidyne, Garmin, and other sponsoring companies. Without their invaluable and timely information, we would not have been able to complete this project in the few months available. ;)

In the ordinary course of development however, this level of "direct and inside involvement" by aircraft manufacturers has been a rare event. Typically, developers spend months tracking down the required information during the research phase.

So again, yes... some mild sarcasm was intentionally used, but only to point out the reality of the situation. Our development schedule is no different than any other payware company's schedule. We are "booked solid" for the remainder of this year, and at least until April of next year. ;)

Anyway, I ran across this clip today and I thought that you might enjoy seeing it - Barrington's stuff starts about halfway thru the 26 minute clip.

Very sweet, let me know when it is available please.

>Very sweet, let me know when it is available please.

Just keep an eye on the Columbia 400 forum at http://eaglesoftdg.com

We now have some photos taken at Sun-n-Fun last week, showing the actual aircraft Barrington is flying, as well as some new exterior and panel shots of the developing model... ;)

[FelixFFDS]

Fr. Bill - I saw it "flying" on Ron's laptop, and let me tell you, the screenshots you posted are nice, but "seeing" it in FS is incredible!

Oh, and one thing I did check on the real Liberty was the alternator ;) It's right there in the same place as in the ESDG Liberty! (what a coinkidink!)
