Alabeo Waco Released . . .

[Killbilly]

It's available now on their site!

http://www.alabeo.com/

Only $19.95 US.

[Barnes]

Well spotted- downloading now

[Ark]

Just purchased and wanted to have a quick look before I head back to work. No time to fly, boooooooo.

The visual model is amazing (typical of Alabeo/Carenado).
The detailing on the external model are just great.
The rear left side door behind the pilot's seat seems to stick out a little and not sit flush with the aircraft, but I'm not sure the real one does either.
The repaints are excellent and seem very precise and clear.
The pilot figure is quite detailed and proportionate to the aircraft.
The VC seems somewhat confined but is highly detailed and looks "cozy". It is like the aircraft wraps around you.
The gauges seem well placed and clear. I love the texturing on the cockpit glass, it provides a depth to the windscreen.
VC visibility below seems a little limited which coincides with what I have heard regarding the real aircraft.


I am a little iffy on the sounds. They sound very good, but is it a Waco sound? I'm not sure. I pictured a Waco sounding more choppy/thumpy like some of the Waco aircraft from Golden Age Simulations. The Alabeo offering sort of reminds me of a more refined engine sound (my description prob sucks). I could be completely wrong here regarding accuracy though.

I iwll add my thoughts on how she flies later when I get home from generating tax revenue. Sorry if the quick thoughts don't offer much.

[Montie]

It does look nice:jump:

[Daube]

The plane looks excellent and doesn't sound too bad. However, the flight model seems a bit "easy"...

[Roger]

Love it! A worthy successor to Bill Lyons Wacos:engel016:

A beauty.

[Lionheart]

Some incredible work! I have been watching it come together at Facebook on their posts. I will be getting this lovely thing!


Bill

[Mr.Mugel]

Sound should be more on the tame and humming side, as the pictures show the two exhausts of a ring silencer which pretty much washes out the sound you hear of every cylinder by itself.

I really like the optics, but I don´t know if it is something for me, as I scarcely fly anything but accusimmed warbirds these days if I fire up FSX. I like an engine that needs to be convinced to start... Nothing negative about this one for sure, the external model is an achivement on it´s own judging from the screens! And these aircraft weren´t warbirds, so they aren´t made to squeeze out the last bit of performance, but reliability and performance, I guess.

Is there a vintage cockpit, too?

[Dain Arns]

Sounds are correct for a newly made, modern built aircraft as the YMF-5 D is depicted by Alabeo, as far as I am concerned.

Bernt Stolle flight dynamics, really need to say more?
(No. It's not "RealAir", doesn't claim to be either.)

Cockpit is wonderfully 'cozy', as it should be.
Love the option of putting a cover on over the passenger compartment up front.

Beautiful, inside and out.

Best offering from Alabeo yet, IMHO, and a must own and have in your hangar if you love biplanes priced at $20USD.

[noddy]

[bstolle]

BTW, the sunken tailwheel and the missing free castoring tailwheel have been changes from Alabeo I just discovered in the release version. (Apparently there have been bouncing issues with non-acceleration user during the beta)

For those who want the correct tailwheel back, exchange the first line in the contact points section with this (the original) one.

point.0= 1, -11.8, 0.0, -1.3, 1500, 0, 0.5, 180, 0.02, 1.0, 0.5, 0, 0, 0, 0.0, 0.0

[rayhere48]

Wow, I love the cockpit. It looks as though you are climbing into the real plane. I spent all my extra money this month, but next mouth I will be flying this beauty.

[Sundog]

Yes! OMW to buy it now. :)

[heywooood]

Dang ol' stuck at work for another hour

How 'bout that nice price from Alabeo - I love those guys and
dont care who knows it - lol

[modelr]

Has anyone else had trouble logging into paypal from the Alabeo link?? I can't get in to purchase this beauty. I can log into my paypal account directly, but not from the Alabeo link.

edit:Guess I have to try again tomorrow, the transaction connection to paypal doesn't work at all now.

[dvj]

Couldn't wait to get this.

http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/789waco.jpg

All that great WACO texturing is ruined by the WACKO wood prop animation. It stops and stutters during operation, simulating no prop I've ever seen. ??? The audio is strange. From the pit it sounds pretty good, but externally it sounds like a DC3, but flys like a Cessna 150. :isadizzy: Oh, and give us Barbi as the pilot option instead of GI Joe.

So I'll give it 3.5 stars on the moose turd rating scale.

[dvj]

http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshots/images/192waco_2.jpg

Ok well, maybe 4 stars. It's a real looker.

[heywooood]

I think she's a beauty..prop and all

Alabeo did the Waco proud and for 20$ American I'm more than satisfied...much more.

[dvj]

Turn right at the Lighthouse. It does make for some great screenies.

[OleBoy]

Alabeo did the Waco.

$20, gee, I wonder if this model is as butchered as the 300s was when it comes to applying paint to it? I'm skeptical.
To me, the ability to paint it is half my interest. 2/3rd's even!

[Lionheart]

My goodness, what a beauty!!!! She is very photogenic.

:applause: :applause: :applause:

[skyhawka4m]

and she hurts the FPS some.....I've converted the textures to DDS3 format to help some.....must be alot of poly here.

[Ark]

I noticed how the doors are not flush with the aircraft. Is that normal on some of these old aircraft?

[Barnes]

If you have never actually seen a Waco then i suggest you do some research before moaning about this product! It aint a stearman, it aint a tiger moth, its not of that eara. It may look old but having had the pleasure of working next to a RW distributor for 4 days i realised all my preconcived notions about a waco were completely wrong.

Look at the sales pitch!

working on my first repaint for This amazing Plane

[Ark]

Is it just me or does the trim not function at all? I can go to opposite extremes with regards to the trim wheel and get the same effect.....constant pitching up.


I have to hold the stick forward to keepo the nose down.

*EDIT* Nevermind. It looks like my stick lost calibration. Wonder how that happened. *Stares at 4 yr old copilot*

[pilottj]

Very nicely done plane :) Great job on the FDE Bernt:salute: It handles like I imagined it would, kind of like the Golden Age Sim Waco ASO...just a big comfortable cruiser, kind of like a Honda Goldwing or Harley Electra Glide or somthing. This is great, now I have this YMF for my modern Waco, along side my favorite ASO for my vintage Waco...then with the CTO, which is the agile aerobatic Waco. :mixedsmi: I like my WACOs...kind of prefer them to the Stearmans for some reason.

Just some minor gauge issues that I can tell. The clock 'mode' doesn't work...I assume it switches between local and zulu. Wouldn't mind seeing the timer functions or at least the timer mode functions work on the transponder :)

I can't seem to find much in the way of documentation such as POH or checklists. I am just going by what I learned flying the GAS Wacos for power settings and speeds and seems to work fine.

Cheers

[Barnes]

working on my first repaint for This amazing Plane

I look forward to that - is there a proper paintkit? Im too lazy to look! LOL

[pilottj]

No paintkits that I can see. There are blank white textures like usual Carenado releases. You have to use your paint program, then duplicate the blank textures as multiply layers. That way you can usually paint under the rivet and panel lines pretty well.

Cheers
TJ

[OleBoy]

Day two of my viewing this absolutely gorgeous craft. The screens just keep getting better and better.
Before I know it I'll succumb to having severe with-drawls that reflect back on my early-er R/C scale days.
That thing is sure a looker. I LIKE IT!!! :icon_lol:

[TeiscoDelRay]

I wish it had the old style panel and instruments otherwise it looks great. Is there any system management at all or can you fly without consequence?

[Dain Arns]

I guess some folks (EDIT: But NOT TeiscoDelRay) are still confused about this modern aircraft... :isadizzy::icon_lol:


In March 1986, the first WACO YMF Classic rolled off the assembly line and received FAA certification under the original WACO type certificate. With more than 5000 labor hours of fine craftsmanship hand-built into each aircraft, it’s no wonder the WACO YMF was hailed as an aeronautic thoroughbred. This unique biplane was not a rebuild or a kit plane, but a brand new FAA certified production aircraft, with such improvements as the use of sturdy 4130 steel for the fuselage frame, modern hydraulic toe brakes, and advanced avionics.

[TeiscoDelRay]

Not at all confused buddy, just wish it was an older version with old style cockpit. I was at Oshgosh when they first brought this out so I know what it is.

[OleBoy]

I've succumb to my weakness :pop4::icon_lol:

[heywooood]

Not at all confused buddy, just wish it was an older version with old style cockpit. I was at Oshgosh when they first brought this out so I know what it is.

now THAT had to be a fun day...

and I agree - a 'retro' cockpit version would have been welcome...

[Javis]

I am on DX10 with Steve Parsons' amazing shaders patch. No problems with this gorgeous Waco but for the radios texture when cockpit/instruments lighting is turned on.

71765

Anybody on DX10 without the shaders patch and not having this texture problem ?.....

Thanks !

Jan

[Cirrus N210MS]

for the Flyers who have the Waco come fly with me online some time Waco!! group flight TS3 ip is ts3.digitalthemepark.com game ip is located on The TS3 channel

[glh]

I see that one of the system requirements listed at Alabeo is Windows Vista or Windows 7 for this model.

I have Windows XP Pro on my FSX Acceleration install. Anybody using that operating system to fly this bird ??

[Naki]

Yes...works fine

[Dain Arns]

Not at all confused buddy, just wish it was an older version with old style cockpit. I was at Oshgosh when they first brought this out so I know what it is.

That's fine. I got to sit in one of the first ones delivered at a local Fly-In in the late 80's myself. :jump:
Sorry, but your previous comment was rather vague at wanting a vintage version of a Waco instead? Like a UPF instead, right?
I wouldn't mind a FSX native 'Golden Era' QF2 version Waco myself. :salute:

However, there still seems to be a misunderstanding among a few that the Alabeo created YMF is wrong for having a modern cockpit.
It's not. That's the point.
Yes, I do think that point has to be made.
And yes, in fact they do come with available with glass cockpits these days, folks.

This is a wonderfully crafted addon of a modern made biplane.
It truly is what one is.
And a seriously fun one at that. :icon_lol:

Problem with my stick or the aircraft?

Pulling back on the stick about 25% results in full deflection of the elevator. Pushing forward results in gradual deflection of the elevator like normal.

Could somebody check this out for me ingame?

Thanks!

It happened to me, couldn't find why, then it quit. But, it still won't let me sign into paypal, keeps saying my info is wrong. Have triple checked it, still won't work. Sure would like to get this beauty. I've had my account for 3-4 years, so I know it works. (I just donated to SOH using it, so I know for sure it works.)

I emailed Alabeo support, and they told me to use their purchase@alabeo.com addy to send the paypal payment using my own login. Been over 24 hours and still waiting for answer back with D/L links.

Hello Bill,

Well, bought the Waco 15 mns ago, downloaded with a download manager and have the same issue, hangs at 99%, i had also the little white bar on the top of the window when clicking on the Alabeo purchase link, which use the "standard" download method and everything worked well !
Don't know exactly what's all about the hang up stuff but maybe try downloading with the "standard" method.

Bonjour Cirrus,

Looking for this especially good "what if" rendition of a Vichy Waco that you were working on; did you publish it somewhere or will you be uploading it to the Outhouse soon?

While searching for the skin, I ended up on Facebook and noticed that you also have an RAF and early US Navy skins in the works; will they also become available ?

Thanks and looking forward to flying your work.

Merci beaucoup for the link and the skins !

They are very nice additions to a gorgeous aircraft...

Followed your advice and no problems with the transfer to a temporary file and then integrate in FSX file.

Now if I can get my hands on the "Vichy" coloured textures, that would really "make my day"...:jump:

Best regards,

Fleurdelys

[Barnes]

Great work and a great selection Cirrus

I am on DX10 with Steve Parsons' amazing shaders patch. No problems with this gorgeous Waco but for the radios texture when cockpit/instruments lighting is turned on.

71765

Anybody on DX10 without the shaders patch and not having this texture problem ?.....

Thanks !

Jan

Same problem for me.

This plane is amazing, and thanks for all the artists who make additional textures :salute:

[pilottj]

Great paints Mike and Barnes:salute:
Got a WIP going here, based on the dark green/white scheme. Haven't given any pinups/art or registration yet. I wanted to put black cheatlines around the curves but it would look too pixellated against the white paint.

I purchased the Waco today and cannot install it. I sent a support question to Alabeo but have not received an answer yet. I only sent it a few minutes ago, but I thought I would ask for help here too. During install I am asked for a "serial number". I enter the "Key" I received at purchase. I get a "invalid serial number" response. Anyone know where I should have gotten the "serial number" when I bought the Waco. I have downloaded all the great repaints and can't wait to fly this airplane.

[Lionheart]

Well, day two, no answer on my email and issue.

I tried downloading Opera thinking that IE was the issue. With Opera, it states now that I have exceeded my downloads.

..................

Oddly, what it tries to dowload is this; ALWC.zip.k3dagzt On the desktop, it shows that it is a HTML file. It hangs at 99%.

So.. I tried.

[modelr]

Apparently this "company" is a start up basement type, being run from one person's computer, and he decided to take the weekend off, immediately after releasing what he should have known was going to be their most popular product. So, as far as any support of any kind goes, we apparently are out of luck until??? This is to bad, as the modeler seems to be very good, but the groups business practices leave a lot to be desired. This could quickly cause the sudden demise of what could have been, and still may become, a very good company. IF they learn some business principles.

Just one of the many, hopefully only temporarily, unhappy customers who really really want this beautiful piece of software.

Alabeo has been for me a reliable vendor with outstanding service - they have replied to all of my emails and are an affiliate of Carenado - so they are well supported

I have had no issues with my CC purchases

I used my debit/check card when purchasing from the Alabeo site, and had no issues at all. Downloaded right away using Firefox, and was flying in just minutes.

Keep the paints coming guys, they are all fantastic!

[modelr]

Just recieved my notice from Alabeo stating my account had been updated. Just downloaded, with no problems, and installed, again with no problems, both into FSX and P3D. Have to wait till morning to try fhings out.

[Barnes]

Thank you very much, Mr Barnes...an excellent paint scheme for this Waco

Thanks for the message - great to have feedback. I have tried a few other US navy BiPlane themes but they have not looked right on the Waco so i have not finished them. That one seemed to work well.

[yankeeromeo]

Yes, i agree too, Thanks Mr Barnes, the metal look is stunning on the Waco:salute:
Cheers.

[modelr]

I finally got to try out this beauty. Short flight around home, Marshalltown, Iowa, KMIW. Got a few screenshots before my fltsim quit working.

[yankeeromeo]

Hello Don,

glad you're finally took this beauty for a flight over Iowa:wiggle:
nice pics, btw.

[Jigsaw]

To everybody having problems downloading the Waco: avoid using Download Managers, as they can often intercept the wrong link and can lead to problems and corrupted files. Using a DLM for a tiny 65MB file is completely unnecessary anyway. Also, when I purchased the Waco the servers were a bit overloaded. After clicking on the link a new tab opened and sat there with the title "Loading" and the rotating "busy" circle for several minutes before it actually started downloading. Just be patient and don't click on the link again and again, because that will only deplete the available re-downloads without being of any help and also stress the servers even more. Paying via credit card worked without a hitch.

The file will not download like a normal file. It says its an HTML file via IE. Wth Opera, it downloaded it as a Zip, but again, as with the others, will only download to 99% and stalls. Never resumes. I thought maybe it was done and tried to open the zip, but it had alot of errors.

Hey Barnes, as long as you are tackling some early AAC/AAF schemes, I bet some of those old P-26 Peashooter schemes might look good adapted on it :)

Hey Patrick,

This has never happened before. I have tried it with Internet Explorer 9, Safari and Opera, and they do not work. I have recently purchased Aerosoft Scenery, 2 payware planes, many programs, many zip files, and all worked. I have never had this occur before. The file hangs at 99% and never finishes, except once, with Opera, and it saves it as something that the browser is supposed to open, as though it were an HTML. All other file types I download simply save to the desktop or downloads folder as a zip file.

:(

I want to join the fun... arrghh..

I am really, really surprised that this much detail and amazing graphics can be placed into this plane. Incredible.....

Who did the graphics on this beauty!?? ITs amazing!

The sound pack is brilliant.

The plane is fun to fly, and has some very well placed camera angles.

Oh Bernt, Dave here. What could be causing the Waco's nose to hunt about 15 either side? The turn indicator's pretty lively - standard rate to standart rate and the ball's alive in the race.

What could be causing the Waco's nose to hunt about 15 either side?

That's the first time I read about uncommanded 30deg heading changes. On my systems she's very stable in the yaw axis due to the big fin/rudder. Can't even remotely replicate your problem....
15deg is about the maximum I can achieve with full rudder deflection! Maybe autorudder is enabled?

15deg is about the maximum I can achieve with full rudder deflection! Maybe autorudder is enabled?In retrospect, call it 5 degrees either side of center. Just tried it again and it was fairly docile so am leaning more towards a glitch in my rig. Sure makes a nice stable approach and landing.

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq119/GAJIT/wip-26.jpg

[heywooood]

random sudden yaw events in FSX are usually caused by one of two things, twisty stick / rudder pedal deterioration (solved by increasing or creating a dead zone for the rudder axis)
or the extremely poor "wind gust" default effect - even 3PD haven't really solved the poor rendition of wind gusts in FSX - I uncheck that thing in FSX settings for my part
