    Pasped Skylark W1 from Lionheart - Released!

    Bill Lyons has released an MSFS version of the Pasped Skylark (full MSFS detail, not a portover of his FSX version) on the MSFS Marketplace. It's a bargain $14.95, and should be an easy buy for people who like classic 1930's planes.

    This was a heck of rare bird: Only one was built in 1935. It’s still airworthy today, though! As a lover of the 1930s “art deco” era of plane design, of rare aircraft, and since I know Bill makes good stuff, I picked it up since it was just $14.95. Definitely worth every penny!


    The model looks great inside and out! There are modern radios and a transponder hidden in the glove compartment, if you’d like a little ATC with your classic flying. Handling feels on the numbers for a plane of its era.

    Doors open, you can fly with the canopy open or closed, and you can open the battery compartment behind the engine when you’re on the ground.

    Only real complain is that, though you can fly with the canopy open, the audio doesn't change. In my real-life experience opening a canopy in flight (one flight in a T-34), the engine noise doesn't increase significantly, but buy, does the wind noise. Hope Bill addresses Otherwise, though, looks and flies great!

    Thinking of buying the plane, but just hate to see that guy in the cockpit.

    Wow, Bill let it out sooner than I expected. Need to fire up the sim and pick this one up!

    Was one of my favorites in FS04 and FSX.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    You know I was going to say it would be great if the Skylark came in a float version. Apparently it does! SOLD!d

    Just a heads-up.

    I've tried twice now to purchase the Skylark through the Marketplace using the Steam version of MSFS. Once last night and again this AM. Both purchases failed. So, I've now paid twice for an aircraft I didn't get.

    I let MSFS run all night because the Skylark purchase window had a note that "Another transaction is pending. Please wait a few moments......". Still nothing this AM.

    I've only had one other transaction fail while using the Marketplace. This event makes me real leery of ever using the Marketplace again without an easier way to rectify a failed purchase.

At this point, I think my time is more valuable to me than the $15 and the aggravation of pulling together an encyclopedia of proof of purchase. I may think differently in a day or so. :-)

    It is only $15 dollars lost and not 30$, as Steam did refund one of the transactions as a double charge, since my earlier post

    Thanks,

    Third times the charm. So, she's finally in my hanger.....or just outside my hanger. :-)



    Noticed the refund in my Steam wallet, so I tried through the Marketplace again and it worked.

    I'm not on Steam, but have found that my Marketplace purchases only work if I start MSFS NOT as an Administrator.

    Need a few brave souls to test Skylark liveries.

    If you have the Pasped Skylark installed, would you be willing to beta test two liveries (one for wheeled version, one for float version).
    I am trying to see if once installed in community folder they will show up under the Pasped Skylark selection option.
    If you are interested please send me a private message and I will link you to file. All I ask of you is to tell me if they show up.
    If not do you have suggestions to fix issues.
    Thanks

    Got a volunteer. Denny agreed and all installed well.
    I am in the process of finishing off a few updates to textures.
    Will release this weekend at Flightsim.to
    Again thanks for the help.

    It's really a beauty. The only problem I have had is that I cannot get the fuel selector switch to work. It's very close to the parking brake and easy to mid-click either, but the fuel selector stays on Main, will not budge. Love the airplane though.

    Cazzie,

    The Fuel Selector has a finicky click spot. I have to position the view low and to the left of the selector, to get "out of the way" of the Parking Brake Lever. Even then I have to search around the center of the selector until it turns into the left or right rotate click spot symbol. It's a very small click spot.

    Pretty cool. I've met a few in my life, but not many. The single "r" version seems to be the least common. :-)
