If one can live with a FSX compatible portover: Mario Noriega did a fine rendition of an Avanti I.
The only difference between the I and II is updated avionics and two additional fuel tanks for more range.
Goodness! That thing looks unreal!
Thanks for the heads up Matt. Great find.
Now... How am I going to make room in my already full hanger? I can move the Bucker over there under the wing of the Kodiak, move the Epic LT back 10 feet, hang the Tailwind from the cieling, transfer the Epic Victory to the vacation Hanger, Move the Tilt Rotor to the General Aviation hanger out at Scottsdale Executive....

I've seen one of those fly into KLFT a few times. Those suckers sure are loud. They don't look natural flyin either.

Mario's version isn't FSX native. I just checked.
Unlike his PD.808, the P-180 costs one to two FPS at best.
They had a contest to guess and win a while back what their newest project was.
I guessed the Avanti. I wonder who and how many winners there are.

There is something odd about the modeling engine
seems too big

Yes, I agree! Especially the spinner is way too huge:
Just compare it with this picture: airliners.net - Piaggio P180 Avanti
Hopefully they will modify it! Otherwise the plane looks very nice

Theres one here at KDVT also. Very loud bird. Sure looks hot when parked out on the tarmac. Sleek like something from Star Wars...

You are very observant people.
The shots were taken of an early beta model. The nacelles and spinners have since been reprofiled.
We're just waiting on some of the avionics and she'll be ready to rip.
Oh by the way you'll also be getting one of these in the garage.
Great news!
I just finished having a lunch break in front of Piaggio factory at LIMJ (my office is very close to the Avanti's production plant)!
Mario Noriega's freeware rendition of the Avanti is pretty good... but lacks a good VC...
This is looking very good!
Nice. No more scary stewardess.

I'm ready for this one. Credit card locked and loaded. Please let me know as soon as I can have at it!

@bazzar: what is the name of the company developing this? Obviously wilco is doing the publishing but that doesn't mean a whole lot.

this model is FSX Native. by what ive read, it should be.

That'll be us at Aeroplane Heaven. We build for WILCO and others.
Eric Marciano is doing the avionics including the intuitive weather radar.
When I worked as a ramp rat I got to refuel them a few times. They had single point refueling which was quite nice, didnt have to get a ladder and climb to the wings. Single point is usually found on the larger biz jets. Much nicer than refueling that @#% Caravannice plane but a pain to refuel especially when you arent very tall like me hehe

i wish i had enough computer for this model. i would jump on it with both feet
Well, considering the price tag...
I find the VC in Mario's rendition very user friendly and pleasant to the eye.
Absolutely - No direspect to Mario's excellent work, my apologies.
I've enjoyed Mario's spectacular P-180 a lot (and also his other Piaggio models, P.149 in particular). I've always been grateful to Mario for bringing the vast majority of Piaggio models to FS. Piaggio Aero is an important asset in my town's economy and culture - and the peculiar sound of Avanti's turboprop is a most recognizable "trademark" of Genoa's aviation culture.
What I meant is that, IMHO, the VC is not on par with the external model (which is top-notch). Still, amazing quality for a freeware release.
