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.

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.
