[Daube]

Looks like a cool little plane. Thanks a lot !

[Pips]

There is a veritable feast of vintage aeroplanes coming out at present. Just fantastic! And this'll be a great addition.

[kjb]

That's brilliant, especially the detail in the wings.

[AussieMan]

Great work. I still occasionally fly the original Kitten.

[FlightOntario]

I know I shouldn't even bother to ask but is there is a chance in hell you would ever consider making a Noorduyn Norseman? You make some damn nice models!

[stiz]

another keeper :applause: :applause: :applause:

Ok guys here's the Dart Kitten, the package includes G-AEXT and G-AMJP (green & silver)

I havn't included a readme/PDF as its a very basic aircraft.... battery on, mags on, fuel on, swing prop !

Have fun !

My goodness Craig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



You are really using that 'burn to texture' rendering system of Max to maximum use! That looks so nice. Wing ribbing, engine, switches. Awesome, awesome, awesome....

[greenie]

Many thanks Craig , had a nice flight in her and she's a keeper.

Just one thing , if you dont mind - when you "step on the ball " the ball seems to be wired the wrong way .

Lovely little plane ..:)

I just downloaded the Kitten...thank you, full...its a beautiful little GA plane


..FlightOntario - I second your emotion brother...I would pay real money for a Norseman on floats and tundras of this caliber or from Alabeo, Vertigo, or Carenado...

[Warhawk1130]

Wow...the aileron actuator linkage adjustment screws look real!

[skyhawka4m]

usually I'm not into stuff like this and the previous release....but I have to say that you texture work just makes these pieces of art. The burning you do is amazing! Ty for this addition. :salute:

[kremin]

Thanks Craig - beautiful job :salute:

best regards

[Flame-Prop]

This might sound strange but it looks like the Piper Cub gave birth to this Dark Kitten of the second :mix-smi: The nose reminds me of the Piper Cub's, this is a fantastic contraption you made here I will certainly add it to my collection :salute:

[AussieMan]

I have downloaded it and installed it into both FSX and P3D. Results?

Good news: Works great in FSX.

Bad news: Causes P3d to have a fatal error when loading.

As I no longer fly FSX on a regular basis this aircraft will stay in the hangar until a P3D version becomes available.

[full]

This is very strange as It was built using the Prepar3d SDK as I don't fly in FSX anymore. I had the same problem with my Taube, I found If you set the water detail to none within P3D It will no longer crash.

I will bring this to Lockheed Martin's attention as I have followed the SDK and can't find anything wrong with the model e.g. all object scales have been reset and textures are .dds format.

If anyone else has a idea of what it could be please let me know...

[VesaJuhani]

One tiny issue. The propellor seems to rotate backwards. Otherwise an exellent little kite!

I will try it again. May have been something with the airport I was using.

A really lovely model Craig! But as you most probably know I'm also looking forward to an other model which "just needs to be textured" :icon_lol:

Cheers,

@ Craig,
awesome work :medals:

@ huub,

Aircraft and Scenery in a beautiful interaction :applause:

[Lionheart]

What a great, gentle, fun plane this is! You have outdone yourself again Craig.

Its nice to have a plane that is fun to land, that comes down gently and touches the ground nicely almost every time.

Thanks also for the cool gauges and the notes on airspeeds for flying this unique little craft.

You should get an award for this.

:medals:
