Hat's off to Alabeo and Bstolle

[Peter SWE]

:salute:

I've allways admired agpilots for their skill and have flown crop spraying in both fs9 and fsx on and off over the years. When Alabeo released their agtruck it was like christmas since it is a really nice add on. In an attemt to learn more of the agpilot trade i searched around youtube and found this clip:

After watching the video i fired up fsx and got the Alabeo agtruck off the ground, flying from Orbx West wind (7WA3). I started spraying a field and tryed out the manouvers that were discussed in the youtubeclip and, godness me....
It all works, the Agtruck stalls the wings exactly like the RW plane and i could save it just like in the clip. It is really, REALLY close to the real deal.
:jump:

I've had so much fun with this the last couple of days, Thanks Alabeo and Bstolle for making such a great addon.

It's one of the coolest addons ever released. I hope Alabeo will make AirTractor with radial engine.

I want to sign this thread too - I expect the Pawnee to be in my hangar at some point after release even though I bought the Cessna - as much to support Alabeo as for the enjoyment of flying it

Thanks for this Peter . I'm still alive and now can expect to stay that way !! I found this interesting and helpful .

Thanx for your kind words. Altough Alabeo is Carenados 'cheap & easy' product line (with a corresponding rediculous low paycheck I might add) I try to make all my FDEs as realistic as possible.
I simply can't deliver a 'dumbed' down FDE ;)

That is a very good video Peter. Thanks for posting it. The info applies to just about any type of flying, not just ag flying.

sir, you have no idea how much I appreciate that kind of integrity..and I don't think I'm speaking only for myself - :salute:

your FDE's coupled with these great models make FSX much better than it should be - and without your efforts there would only be style without substance

Excellent explanation of the dynamics of rudder work... too few pilots really fully understand the rudder beyond its necessity towards coordination. Especially GA pilots. spits from low speed stalls are a killer, and many lives would be saved if people were better instructed. Too many have the instinct to lift the wing as he says... and that's fatal.

I heartily agree on both points, BP!!

Especially the power: The one thing that would bring a tear to my eye would be the addition of a nice, big, fat, grumbly radial at the front end.

We're possibly just lone voices in the wilderness, but I'll bet there are others who'd buy it if they made it.

I second Heywood's well-crafted remarks, Berndt! Your genius is greatly appreciated!
