Hey P, I don't believe the P-40 is included in the half-off sale.

Panther, you need to remove the insurance for download and the price is $19.99. You have to do that during the order process.

Here is one of your favorites, remember? With a little work and the paint kit all my repaints work on the new bird.

Aye, don't know why I can't order the download protection items... hence why I've added in the big red text on the product page asking people to double check their order details prior to purchase..

Either way, even at 19.99 AUD, the P-40 is in my humble opinion a good buy..but I'm biased... I had to do a new soundset, new textures a shedload of work to convert it..and well, bills have to still be paid. have pity on us poor old designers.. :costumes:

Ed, here is another from the old days. After a little work this is the result using the new paint kit.

One JayHawk coming up.

Easy, press Shift+3 to open the classic window and click to switch from Modern to Classic mode.

:)

Modern was added on request for those wanting to simulate 'restored' warbirds.. :) Not to everyone's taste I'll admit, but it's very simple to change.

I must admit the modern to classic model change is a nice touch which results in changing the pilot model and some instruments on the panel too!

any more shots of the VC looks pretty simple compared to the A2A version?

course its half the price so you get what you pay for.

MudMarine

It's a nice VC. It's hard to compare anything to A2A! But the Iris P-40 is well worth the money in my opinion! The sounds are great. The framerate is great. It handles nice, looks nice. And it has some really cool paints! What more could a guy ask for........oh, almost forgot....a cup holder in the pit for my beer would be nice!!hehe:costumes: Other than that I like it!!

Ha, missed that completely! Thanks for the H/U, I was too busy having fun in the desert sky. This was just about the quickest & easiest FS purchase I've ever made online, very slick.

I'm looking at the PC-9 and the Texan II. No reviews of the former (that I know of). Which should I get?

Do you want a military airplane or a civilian bird? The T-6 contains USAF & USN pilot training versions. It also contains USCC and Navy Attack versions with HUD. The PC-9, although used by several nations as a military trainer, is to me, more of a civilian airplane.

However, it does not contain a VC GPS. The T-6 has two versions of GPS. A limited OEM version and the Garmin 500 version. The two airplanes have different guages to match the OEM counterparts. Both panels are very well done and completely functional.

The PC-9's engine will blow up if you run it to hard and the windshield and canopy will fog up at altitude without cabin heat on. The T-6 won't.

My personal airplane, Lady Midnight is based on the T-6 with a repaint and modified gauges. I used the Eaglesoft Gauge pack for the ADI, HSI and GPS. I also included the HUD. I fly this airplane more than any other.

I have both the PC-9 and T-6. I rarely fly the PC-9. It has a greater frame hit than the T-6 on my computer. However, both are excellent airplanes.

I just ordered the Texan II - I think. At least it took my credit card money, but contrary to the sale page there was no link for downloading.

I did receive a confirmation e-mail, but it stated that a download link was pending administrator approval? I thought that the new payment system enabled an immediate product download? How long have the rest of you waited before you could download their products?

The Texan included both fs9 and FX original down load

Does the PC9 now include both fs9 and FX? answered my own question No it does not

Okay Ed, this should do it. One more P-40 converted. I see that Stephan is in the ball park, with him on board some really cool paints should be showing up.

Take the plunge, Tom

It should have gone through straight away..can you PM me or send an e-mail to david@irissimulations.com with your name and order details and I'll see what's happened. Alternately, I have a Live support via Skype button on the storefront too if you have Skype and need to run something by me whilst I'm still awake.

We've had a fair few orders in today, and mostly they've all been fine. A few customers have cancelled their orders mid processing which leaves an abandoned order on our system, however the vast majority are paying by credit card and getting an immediate download.

:kilroy::kilroy::kilroy: Yea, I know the feeling, my eyes are on the Aerosoft website for several tasty tidbits. First and foremost is their F-16 due any time.
Several others are the Catalina and the Bushhawk. All good stuff.

The P-40 is less than $20 bucks US. Go ahead and jump in there.

Well I've solved WH's problem.. don't know what happened but for some reason his order went a bit haywire (technical term I know!) between his shopping cart and the merchant provider. All is fixed now though.. :)

Thanks Smudge,
for the 50% off sale
used this chance to get the Pre FSX P40 V1.5 and the lovely F14A Tomcat
in case of the P40 I would say their would be fictional aerobatic liveries in development by me (at the moment I am thinking of suitable designs!)

This new sound set is MUCH BETTER than the FS2004 version of this aircraft...:mixedsmi:

NNooooooo........... :banghead::banghead::banghead:

I didin't read the fine print. The sale only lasted 24 hours.

I spent the last six hours doing backups on my HD so I could go back and get the Pilatus PC-9. It's now 6:06 pm Pacific Time, and the prices are all back to normal.

Dang. :kilroy:
