the plane is gorgeous. A beautiful rendition of a legendary icon.. i love it.. but just for fun, is there a livery for the movie "Rocketeer" that comes with it???

Does anyone know if Mr. Stolle did the flight model for this one?

The registration key they gave me isn't working . I'm just waiting to hear what the fix is as I can't wait to fly it.

[dvj]

Thanks for the tip. But I tried that and it didn't work. I'm sure this will be corrected soon, since it isn't an isolated case.

OK, hmmmm, a global problem with the keys. I can wait. In the meantime, I do not want to see any screenshots from this group!!!

Same problem saying invalid serial number
Sent an email
And I too have no more downloads

EDIT:
Tried the suggestion in post #7-no joy it did not work
Thanks anyway John!

[Sundog]

I just received the e-mail from them. It's fixed and the new key worked. Time to go fly.

Edit: Note, I had sent them an e-mail regarding this issue. If you didn't, you may just want to log into your account there and see if you have a new key as they said that would work for me as well.

[dvj]

Wahoo! we be flying. :salute:

[dvj]

Ohhhhh Schmmmmmmi................dt, BOUNCE.... buggered on the 1st landing landing.

[papab]

Excellent support!

New key provided and that did the trick!
Thank you Alabeo for great aircraft and fantastic customer support:salute:

Well I've got to say this plane put a bigger smile on my face and made me laugh more than any other addon to date. Absolutely beautiful modeling and texture work, and the flight model is slippery as can be. Lots and lots of fun.


I'd rather not talk about my first "landing" though.

EDIT: Or my second...

[dvj]

I've died and gone to Heaven!

[Kiwikat]

I've died and gone to Heaven!

Did you land yet?

Third time's a charm. I guess it pays to read and follow those annoying instructions that pop up when you select the plane.

[Sundog]

Where are the extra textures? The ones painted like modern racers?

My take-offs aren't so good. It's partly due to my controller, which is very stiff, so it isn't very good with finesse, but I've had instances where I take off and the airplane begins pitching uncontrollably, like a PIO, only I'm not moving the stick.

My landings have been pretty good. I don't sideslip it in, I land it like an F4U Corsair on a carrier, with a curved approach then straightening out just before touch down.

It's far and away one of the best looking models I've ever seen in FS and is a bundle of fun!!!!

What a beautiful model, and the materials are stunning! Being a stickler for authenticity, I probably couldn't fly it much with any paint scheme other than the historically correct yellow/black 'Z' scheme, but I'm surprised as to just how good it looks with the GeeBee R2 inspired colors applied to it.

I know where you're coming from;
However, in multiplayer, it will be good to have choices!

So far...so fun...
We'll have to study up before talking about accuracy.

Gorgeous model, but gotta say it is the scariest damn thing I have ever flown in FS!

After four go-arounds I was happy enough to put it down, on the runway and got it stopped too!

That sounds about right.. The Gee Bee is another one of those most dangerous to fly planes in history..
Back in 1999 or 2000 i was working as ground safety at the watsonville airshow when a guy lost control of his GeeBee and crashed.. it was not a happy day at the airport..
