It is going at the Flight Sim.com shop as well. The vark is very tempting...

SimMarket too...

EDIT: Hmmm, prices can differ slightly between the three.
Each one can have a better price than the others...

Does anyone have either the Yak-52 or Sea Knight and can comment on them?

I have the Sea Knight. It's pretty simple in the VC and FDE, but I like it.
I'm biased though, I'm a rotorhead. :icon_lol:

Frank did some nice repaints for it in the package and at his site here:

Jeansy is working on some more for it ... :applause:

And has a couple more if I remember over at Ozx:

I would strongly recommend the SH-2 Seasprite to anyone interested in a great helicopter addon for FSX.
It's really the best of the bunch for Alphasim/Virtavia, IMHO, and comes with 3D gauges.

Anybody know how the B-1 is? Very tempting. But then again, so is the Iris F-15E!

Tuesday sounds great for another 10%, but it does not say how long these will last. I would love to get the F-111, but if I wait the sale might be over. Oh what to do.

Thanks for the info. I looked all over, just missed the expire date. I have been eyeing the F-111 for awhile now.

There's a few on there I don't have, I'll definitely have to pick them up on Tuesday.

BTW, I highly recommend their Long-EZ; I always thought it was highly under-rated by the community. But if you like Rutan canards, it's a really nice plane.

The Virtavia B-1B is a great add-on and the sounds are awe inspiring, if you aren't into complicated aircraft this is for you :salute:

Darn it doesn't include the Islander

... doesn't include the Islander...

That was the one that I would have purchased!
There was some sort of "flap" about the wing view from the V.C. on that F-111....did that ever get fixed?

Thanks, I checked out the Seasprite, but that greenhouse cockpit is weird

No wings visible from the VC (which was no problem for me, I am happy with this plane, glad I purchased it)

An often over-looked beauty from the cold-war era, but one of my Alphasim favs.....

Rgr that dvj. That F-89 is one of my favorite Alphasim planes, and I have a lot. I like all their cold war jets. On the occasion of this sale, I bought this. I've always liked the way this helicopter looked. These were the ones we had on the ship was I was riding in aircraft carriers in the 1980s.

If you're referring to their physical turning directions, that's simply cosmetic and doesn't prevent functionality. I have seen many great shots from Falcon and others that would demonstrate its a pretty good model, for it's price. At this price, I've purchased simply to populate my Helitraffic population, along with their UH60.

B-58 or did I miss it?

David Bushell who created the model has parted company with Alphasim/Virtavia, and has now set up his own website www.glowingheat.co.uk (http://www.glowingheat.co.uk) with product pages for the Hustler and SR-71 Blackbird. He is hoping to get the Hustler completed and released for FSX in full native glory – however that may take some time.

Well, I bought the Hu-16 because I wanted a native one since quite a long time.
However, I could not find how to adjust the engines RPMs in the cockpit ? Also the supercharger levers are not working ?

A bit of a rare bird this F4D-1 Skyray, couldn't resist it for only $10.32 at PCAviator with the Tuesday discount (the pack includes both FS9 and native FSX models). After adding an FSX/A [Launch_assistance] section, carrier ops with the Javier Fernandez USS Nimitz are no problem.

I bought it long time ago, was named ALPHA MV-22 Osprey, believe it's the same one.
In each [FLTSIM.X] section is the line:
prop_animation_ratio = 1, -1

Can't remember if it came that way, but the props do spin in opposite directions for me.
