  1. Bob, another hit from you. I researched the specs on this as this has always been a favorite. This model does exhibit some of the "peculiarities" of the real one.. Thank you for the 2-D cockpit. I first didn't have the Grumman HSI, but just put the Grumman.cab file in the panel folder and all went well. Very stable platform. Thank you for your work...tp
  2. Not meaning to be picky, but the first twin-engine Piper was, in fact, the Apache built in the early 1950's with 150 HP engines. The Aztec didn't come along until the early 1960's when the stream-lined styling and the addition of 250 HP engines made it a very popular, desirable airplane. tp
  3. Bob, a very nice refresh on an old favorite. Moving the support bracket really improved the 2D visibility out of the windscreen. Thank you for many contributions to this hobby. Appreciate your time and hard work. tp
  4. This is an excellent addition to the Concorde line. The panel is very easy to read and has all of the functions one needs to faithfully pilot the Concorde. Thank you, Mr. Munro for an obvious labor of love. I appreciate your generosity and talents. Terry
  5. Just wanted to chime in, this is a very well done model. It brings back memories when these airships filled the skies. Excellent FDE and the textures are first rate. George, thank you for your gift.. it's superb.. Highly recommend this model.. Great fun.. low and slow...tp
  6. Ron, I just wanted to thank you for a very excellent panel in the venerable Six. I used your submission to recreate a flight I took 35 years ago and it brought back many wonderful moments. Superb job..I also think the link to the 182 is more accurate than the Mooney. but it is not a default ac.....Good job....Thank you..
  7. To Rick Piper a job well done. I just found this jewel and it's an excellent model. Mnay kudos to Tony and the other painters who make this plane sparkle. It's a little tempermental in FSX-A when starting. I have to reload a couple of times but once running, it's a grand experience. Very immersive in the reaction of the gauges. The left and right engine gauges aren't "chained" together. They act like real gauges.. I just need to find out how to correct the undercarriage being solid black.. Otherwise..an outstanding model...Thank you..
  8. Michael, Thank you for the update. I just noticed while on approach they are there. I landed and poof they pull a disappearing act on me. I noticed the lights turn off upon landing. What ever you do, don't turn on the deice switch while on short final. I read the xml and it tries to send two engines into AB, which the real one only had water injection. These two engines are both on left side..That's fun the first time it happens. I was landing at Boeing field in freezing rain...take a little precaution... oops.....

     

    Anyway... it's a fun airplane.. Thank you for sharing it with us....tp

  9. These are some nice updates for the classic medium bomber. I remember as a child I would watch the B-47s on long approach to Homestead AFB, Fl and the drogue chute was deployed. Very nice touches and keeps you on your toes during approach. Good job.

     

    I thought I had read in the readme about pilot textures... hmm. my cockpit is vacant.. the crew must still be in the snack bar.... This is a good plane to fly... Thank you for your efforts.... Terry

  10. Bob, I wholeheartily second Steveh01's comment.. You've added some subtle, much appreciated touches to the panels and handling that make this airplane more enjoyable. It's not as squirrely on flare and touchdown as before

    and all of the necessary tools for a warbird cross country are handy. Thank you for the improvements........tp

  11. Michael.. An excellent rendition of one of my favorite war birds. I understand better why the military did not like P-39 Aircobra and elected to send them to China in WWII. This little beast replicates the probably sqirrelly handling of the short coupled, mid-engined craft. IRL, it was under powered and over weight. Very good job on the modeling, the cockpit, the sounds and the slippery FDE. Thank you for bringing this little jewel to life...Terry
