Great to see the Duck coming alive!

Hi
Looking great.If you want hear some kick a$$ engine sounds,get a DVD of the 1971 movie Murphy's War staring Peter O'Toole.There are some long start up and flying scenes with no music or speech just the lovely sound of a sick radial engine

Hi Icarus

I dont think that was meant negatively - i would consider it a compliment as they look both great models. Im sure yours will be better

icarus · May 12th, 2009, 10:43

Cirrus we have contributed to have closed at least two piracy website as many develepers here know very well, contacting other companies and more office so if you want accuse someone try something else , do not need lessons by you on what is correct or not.

**Mithrin** · May 12th, 2009, 10:56

Now that looks cool! A must have for me, cuz it floats and looks odd. I love those funny looking planes!

considering they are both models of the exact same plane, I certainly hope they look alike!

***Roger*** · May 12th, 2009, 11:41

Icarus,
Any idea when it will be ready?

icarus · May 12th, 2009, 17:05

end of june first days of july roger...have to setup how flies and sound and probably the ground part of contact point.., the rest it's ok....actually in my test seems flying as in a video on youtube...it has roll motion as the original, i have just received two other version few minutes ago from the modeller and i m uploading new screenshot in a few minutes

icarus · May 12th, 2009, 17:41

**Cirrus N210MS** · May 12th, 2009, 18:11

k no probs sorry for misunderstanding cirrus

**heywooood** · May 12th, 2009, 18:38

well I'm sure there was no intent to imply anything either from what I've read in this thread -

Thats looking like a nice Duck icarus....I love the yellow top wing themes of the prewar navy bipes -

But I must ask you icarus ol' pal - where is the P-26 ? ?

I hope still in the pipeline...yes?

icarus · May 12th, 2009, 19:12

where is the P-26

boeing p-26 need much work before release...next ones are dragon rapide and grumman duck or dh-4.. i have seven aircraft to finish...and the 40 days of inactivity(health problems as someone well know here) didn't help..i just restarted few days ago..hope all seven new models will be out this summer. thanks for asking heywooood
