Nothing mentioned of a paint kit, bummer.

[anatolpopov]

I buy my own tomorrow

That looks excellent, for me this is the quintessential aerobatic aircraft. I remember watching the Microlease one at many airshows in the UK.

3rd.... yep, loooks good toooo

Perhaps my favorite aircraft of all time.... I think I'll be getting that one sometime this weekend :ernae:

The cockpit looks brilliant.

Can't connect to website

but I found another website with pictures.... can't say I'm excited about this prop:

[d0mokun]

I was responsible for the artwork on a whole, except 2d

With regards to the prop, if you have an issue with it in-game then please don't hesitate to contact support. It may well be the angle of that shot, for I have not noticed that any time I flew it (nor when I made the screenshot!).

With regards to a paint kit- this can be arranged. There is a plain white scheme for basic repaints.

Best
Dan.

Hmmm it could be the angle but it looks like they didn't make a smooth polygon for the spinner. It does look decent for 20 pounds I spose its worth it. It's fast which I like. How is the FDE? Who made it?

[d0mokun]

I can assure you that I did ;-)

The flight model is by David Chester of Addictive Sim (and FCS fame).

All the best
Dan.

[ryanbatc]

Never heard of that fde designer... can you do knife edges and hammerheads? How bout forward slips and spins?

[d0mokun]

From the chap himself:

You can do hammerheads, spins, inverted spins, flat spins, normal and inverse loops. Knife-edges should be possible with practice. Sideslips are limited by rudder control but are possible to a degree. That may well affect knife-edge as well.

Four real-world Pitts owner/pilots (including the owner of G-BKPZ) confirm the accuracy of the flight model.

[ryanbatc]

Alrighty then... just need some guinea pigs

Well if it is modeled by Dan, it is my kind of plane. I will be buying this as soon as I get some spare cash.

Thanks Dan for the reply. I have a few detailed repaints in mind. Not sure I would want to create the layers. I'm feeling lazy...lol.

[gajit]

Yes please Dan.

[d0mokun]

Alrighty, I shall seek permission and then come back with it!

Best
Dan.

Fantastic!! PSD for me please. Then, I'll bite the hook

I don't have a PC that will run FSX currently. But by the end of next month I should be simming like the majority here!!

[gajit]

I love this - great work. But I do have that problem with the prop blur not being circular - does anyone else?

[skyhawka4m]

My sounds seem a tad off...anyone else?

[anatolpopov]

If somebody can do one of these? In Finland there's 3 Pitts aircraft (+ 2 Model 12 in progress).

OH-XPA was the first Pitts in Europe.

Sorry Dan,
After hearing the cost I am going to pass for now. I will however put it on my list of potential hanger spaces. These add-ons take a central hub for use. Right now, that's my focus.
