I found that yesterday, it sure is a good read! ;)

Thankfully for Larry it has a lot of pictures... :D

OK, color me slow....but is this thread 100% tongue in cheek? Great looking screenies too, BTW. Anyway, sometimes the adult humor here goes over my head a bit....:cost1:

[Sundog]

Hey, how did you guys get my airplane and when can I buy it back!?

She makes a nice covergirl.

It is 100% tongue in cheek but it is also 100% legit. New Navions for FSX are on final approach and the release candidate has gone out to a wider beta team for final checks and bug squashing.

We just thought we'd have some fun with the announcement of a new aircraft and add a little humour (adult or otherwise) to what could have been another dry new plane post.

[Tako_Kichi]

Hey, how did you guys get my airplane and when can I buy it back!?

You shouldn't have left the key to the hangar on that nail in the Outhouse door should you, but I'm sure we can negotiate a reasonable price for her once we get the bugs out (that Outhouse needs a good fumigating I think!)


She makes a nice covergirl.

She certainly does and just look at the size of the flaps on her! :icon_eek:

[Firekitten]

Larry could always appreciate a bit of tail ;)

Larry did a fine job of modeling as well as putting together a really nice manual.

Nah, just using Shade, Rex Essentials and BananaBob's EnvMap texture, then I just go flying, try to find some interesting weather and take a few screenshots. You deserve full credits for those excellent textures! :applause:

Edit: And for those that didn't notice it: Take a look at the rubber mats in the cockpit, I've never seen those look so realistic!

[Tako_Kichi]

Just to whet your appetite while waiting for the release I thought I'd show you a feature not revealed yet, your very own Flight Simulator smart phone!

All this info plus a lot more all available on one pop-up gauge!

Dave worked wonders on this feature and we almost had to nail his fingers to the desk to stop him creating more stuff! Over 2,200 lines of XML code in a single gauge! :isadizzy::pop4:

[Dangerousdave26]

2300 + I added to it today. :icon_lol:

+1 for not being an iSomething.

Maybe future plans will fit into your 80's theme better!

We can change it out for a brick if you like... but it's only useful function then will be to ring for pizza I'm afraid.

[Tako_Kichi]

Ah, the good old brick. A perfect device to communicate "Your landing fees are too damn high!" in an unmistakeable way.

What about a C64 strapped to the right seat? Or a Texas Instruments calculator? Or a nerdy co-pilot with pen&paper? Or a talking dog to also cover the flower power and disco era or... :icon_lol:

Firekitten, do you have the patch (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/fighter-pilots-adopt-pony-badge-article-1.1414554) for your flight jacket to match that paint scheme? In terms of the color, anyway. ;)

[b24_witchcraft]

Great magazine cover preview (very clever) this upcoming Navion FSX release lol!
Even better that it's gonna be freeware. :applause::applause:
Looks great so far. Look forward to flying it!

[sidler]

I was stationed at Turner AFB, Georgia 1661-->1964. The base aero club had one Navion and two T-34 Mentors. You guessed it the T-34's were always in the air. I flew one of the T-34 to work on my private ticket:jump:

[Firekitten]

Well like Android, our expert gauge man Dave intended this phone app to be built upon and expanded by others for different aircraft too... so we thought android and its Linux roots were a good match.

Mostly its because none of us had an iphone to model it on... Dave has a Samsung funnily enough!

[OleBoy]

Not that I'd ever get in depth to have the need for an android app to fly so no worries. I do however have an iphone. Hey there's a rock. I bet you I can hit it with my iphone! :pop4: OOPS, now I need a new phone :icon_lol:

In depth? Come on Don, Larry modeled the plane and dave did the phone! its as deep as a puddle :D (only kidding) Nah, its got charts, aircraft visiblility options, checklists, weather 'reporting app' things like that... useful and a bit more realistic than fsx has been perhaps.

Take my comment like a grain of sand. I was merely reflecting I don't like the iphone. They have more junk in the trunk than I need. Back on topic. Sorry for the side track.

Edit: I hope that this beautiful model will be P3D compatible. Otherwise I will just have to follow the thread and wish.

[Firekitten]

Pretty much anything FSX Native is p3d compatible... exluding a few minor differences, P3D = FSX The special 'P3D' versions developers offer is simply a new installer to work with P3D's file structure.

[darrenvox]

where can i find that magazine? and who is this aircraft only coming out on FSX

[Firekitten]

The magazine isn't real... its a spoof 'release warning' thing for our release of the Ryan Navion for FSX...

We really should do an Outhouse Pilot magazine though! it would rock :D

I would like to be teased with some more screen shots... :cool:

Lovely, lovely, work to all those involved in making this little bugger possible

Thanks, it's been an interesting journey as this is the first flyable model I've attempted.

Just so you know we hit a bit of a show stopper during beta testing which held us up for a few days until we worked out a solution to the problem (it turns out to be a core FSX issue that we needed to work around) but progress is now being made again and hopefully the result will be well worth the effort.

[darrenvox]

ive just came across on the fact that the plane is going to be FSX, any new FS9 Aircraft going to be created?

oh well ill stil use "piglet's" version

[Firekitten]

I'm afraid we won't be doing an FS9 model... way too many polys and way too complex for 9 to handle... It just won't feasibly convert. Plus the texture mapping requires 2048 minimum for clarity in the textures as we mapped with the understanding that we weren't using 1024...
Really sorry :(

Yes there will be a paint kit and I should wait a few weeks as we plan on making the Navion A/L-17 model after the Navion B is released. That will be a far better version to do your Dad's paints on.

[jmbiii]

That's great news. Looking forward to them. Thanks.

One of the most comprehensive painters packs I've ever seen if I do say so myself... :P

Included:
Normal full layered PSD Paint kit.
'Firekitten special' Flat bare metal and flat plain white 'texture sets' with 'don't paint me' parts layers and more detailed textures.
Bare metal and flat white sim ready texture sets
Bare metal and flat matt alpha sets.
Bare metal and flat white tiptank textures for both new and old tank designs.

Went to get the windshield replaced in the wife's car last week and the shop was near the Van Nuys airport. As I was leaving I saw in a narrow aisle a beautiful, well-kept Navion, a red Legacy in Reno race paint, and in the hangar, the Navion's uncle, an airworthy P-51.

Can't wait for the release of your bird!

Wait, does this mean any day now...? :icon_eek:

Literally any day...

[Sylvanriv]

Literally any day...
*GASP* YES!!
Thanks to everyone involved in this project for making it so incredible! I am looking forward to this so much... :mixedsmi: :salute:

Is it RXP compatible? Option to cut the 3d knobs on the GPS (flat panel fit to retrofit)?

[Firekitten]

I'm afraid it isn't... Problem is, its not a 2d default GPS like most developers use... the whole unit is a fully 3d GPS... the only 2d gauge area in there is the screen, the rest is hard coded into the model. Perhaps at a later date we might look into it, but with us at imminent release state, its not something we could investigate at this moment.

[Anneke]

Ok thanks for answering. Perhaps in a future update.
Night lighting looks great!

[Firekitten]

Well to be honest with you, I'm not sure we plan to update it short of bug fixing... It's freeware at the end of the day, and we're doing our best to make it the best aircraft possible, but once its finished, we will be moving on to other aircraft rather than revisiting this one. If there was a high demand for RXP support, I guess we could look at it... but it would have to be high demand... other projects are looming that are starting to take our time over.

Just don't forget the Navion A/L-17 model, please.:salute:

Fear not, I've been working on the conversion to the Navion A/L-17B for a few days now. Most external changes are done but the inside will need a complete re-work so don't expect anything before next spring!

[Anneke]

No RXP, no problem :)

[Firekitten]

Don't fret... if we get chance to look at it, we might ok? I can't promise, but I won't rule it out.

Anneke, it's always possible to add RXP as a 2D popup panel in the panel.cfg. As long as the RXP.ini file specifies 'link GPS = on', then any flight plan you enter on the RXP 2D popup will still show on the non-RXP GPS in the virtual cockpit. It's a pretty easy mod that I've always done with planes that have embedded 3D GPS units in the VC. It is a bit of a compromise, but it always works like a charm.

This release looks fantastic. Looking forward to it!

mgchrist5 and firekitten, thanks very much for the tips and tricks.

Is that Hello Kitty paint still around somewhere? My 4y old daughter asks for release about every day because of that paint :icon_lol:

[Firekitten]

I'll release that paint when the aircraft is out... Its ready and waiting for the aircraft to come :)
