Hello,

JIMJAM, because this is some pretty old design, I decided not to install a GPS in the Albatros. However, if you wish, I can prepare you the files, so you will have the GPS in the pop-up window, under shift+f3 command. On the other hand, I kept the radio panel.
Stiz, thanks for posting!
Gents, if you will have any questions, I will do my best to answer them.

djwaglik- Man I am kidding. BTW- I do add a gps to all my planes but when the wings are wood,covered in cloth I make a exception.
This is the US. Most have never unfolded a map. The streets are not being maintained leaving most signs unreadable. Unless you are flying betreen "Crime watch zone" and "speed checked by radar" its going to be tough lol.

Great looking plane and like their Accufeel the price is very reasonable.

**lucas81** · September 4th, 2012, 06:23

Sorry, JIMJAM. But in any case I have just made the entry in my panel.cfg

We are very glad that you will like it!

If may I suggest you something, then visit the Alps with this plane. Innsbruck (LOWI) or the former Oeffag factory field at Wiener-Neustadt will be perfect. As the plane served on the Italian Front during the WW1, she can be also operated from the Northern Italy, mainly in the Venice area (on the other side, the PNW will be great as well, because of the detailed mountains!)

Regards,
Lucas

PS: Hope to release the paintkit soon!

And I would like to add one thing, since the topic has been created - I would like to thank Scott, Rob and Mike P (Empeck) from A2A for a great help and for allowing to publish this plane in the A2A/Aircraft Factory. I'd also like to thank the Beta Team who kindly tested the plane. Thank you very much, Gents!
Sorry for the double post, but I am very excited

I appreciate this, but it's really us that should be thanking Lukas. Everyone on the team enjoyed his passion and attitude. And he did something that is always so difficult to do, finish a product

Lucas is a class act and we're proud to be distributing his product.

Scott

Flown the aircraft and as you know Lucas, I love bipes, military as well as civilian and this is a beautiful rendition. Photo-bucket is down for now so I'll attempt to use our attachments utility.

**lucas81** · September 4th, 2012, 13:56

Nice screenshot, Roger! I am very happy that you are enjoying the plane

If you will need to apply the engine cover, please remember to turn the engine off. Then you can apply it through the pop up panel

Good for bad weather and looks nicely

Lucas

**OleBoy** · September 4th, 2012, 17:00

I'd like a BIG helping of screen shots please

Great addon - Very impressive.
If anyone enjoys WWI aircraft then they, if not done so already, should try the free demo of Rise of Flight http://riseofflight.com/en

**stiz** · September 4th, 2012, 22:14

well worth it

**lucas81** · September 5th, 2012, 05:48

Thanks for screenshots, Stiz!

Some good news - the paintkit has been uploaded! Those are two master textures - one for the diffuse texture, one for specular.
Here: http://a2asimulations.com/forum/view...?f=100&t=31526

I will try to collect some a-c profiles which could be depicted.

**Pips** · September 5th, 2012, 15:30

Superb! A must have come payday.

**MudMarine** · September 5th, 2012, 15:32

Payday purchase!!

**danyboy21** · September 5th, 2012, 18:31

Love this plane

**Dain Arns** · September 5th, 2012, 19:34

Absolutely stunning,(and I don't think those two words describes this addon well enough).
This is totally undervalued. It's worth double, even triple the asking price of $12.99USD, IMHO.
The craftsmanship really shows how much you loved this project, Lucas.
It's just so finished and polished, through and through. What a treat!

Really felt like I was sitting in a real wooden WWI era aircraft in the VC tonight.
Any WWI or biplane enthusiast is required to have this addon in their FSX hangar. Period.

Oh, and yes, like aircraft of that era, it has no flaps or brakes.
Plan your landings accordingly.

Many thanks to you, djwaglik! :salute:

**Lionheart** · September 5th, 2012, 20:27

A work of art, Lucas! Very nice.

Coincidently, Kermit who owns a museum here in America was just flying an Albatros yesterday in England, posted it in Facebook. Now you release this! Is it tied together? Ad campaign?

Looking good. I will be needing this for my hanger.

Bill

**lucas81** · September 5th, 2012, 23:34

Hello,

I would like to thank you for a such warm welcome and feedback! I am very happy that you are enjoying this little plane

Bill, I also 'like!' Kermit Weeks and saw his pictures from England. I must add that he flew totally different Albatros. He flew original, German-designed Albatros D.Va. We have a licensed built Albatros D.III. So... different nose, engine, cockpit, totally different fuselage. Austro-Hungarian markings instead of German Jastas.

I am going to start making some repaints today. I hope to create one Austro-Hungarian, but I am also thinking about the plane of Merian Cooper from "Kosciuszko Squadron" to honor this great man.
