Milviz is working on a DHC-2 Beaver!

[Boss86001]

Since it's from Milviz, I am not too worried about the flight model.

Great news that the Beaver will be released soon, but I hope it's P3Dv4 compatible.

Excellent news!

If we're that close... can anyone expound on the flight model (FDE)? I'm thrilled with the visuals, but I fly the FDE.... so that's where the rubber meets the road... for me at least.

i would very much appreciate any insight on how she FLIES.

Best- Carl

PS- Kat, Wither art thou?

You could ask them directly on their forums or their Facebook page

YoYo-

Looks good, but can you share how she FLIES? The FDE is paramount in my book...

Ta!

OK, it's the 25th in Australia, and this is not released yet.

[Cees Donker]

Developing takes time....

Looks like release will be at 2100 EST (0100 GMT)

Can't see any military models, so I'm guessing no AL1 with bombs or droppable supplies I can't see any evidence of old-skool DECCA either.

I'm hearing Rob Young withdrew from this project... very interested to hear how it flies. Would have been a day one purchase with Rob's FDE, but I am going to await some flight reports as I'm not familiar with the other gentleman's work yet.

Please post your observations when available.

Best- Carl

Soulmade did the Beaver for XP. I don't have it, because it's not updated for XP11 yet, but it was very well received by the XP community, and I plan on buying it when updated. I don't know who did the FDE for the XP version.

I see Tom Falley there as doing the FDE. He's one of our own here, and certainly one of the best. Lot's of real-world radial experience.

I've been looking forward to this one for a while as well; the Aerosoft Beaver X is probably my all-round favorite plane in the sim, based solely on how she flies... but she's certainly in need of an update and I hope this is it!

That said, there's one thing in that promo video that bugs the hell out of me and I wonder if I'm the only one: at about 1:20, the taxiing Beaver makes a left 180 to line up for takeoff... and while the turn looks normal, when the pilot straightens the plane out at the end of the turn, there's no indication of any inertia at all. The plane simply straightens, perfectly, with no application of opposite rudder or brake to halt the turn. That heavy radial should have some momentum and want to keep swinging the nose. It looks like how AI aircraft move in the sim, just... unnatural.

I REALLY hope that isn't indicative of how she handles! But its just a promo video of a WIP, made to be eye candy etc... guess we'll know soon enough now!

Actually lots of real Beaver experience in Alaska.

Can you remove the yoke in the VC? Both Aerosoft and Microsoft didn't supply that option and not being able to see the entire panel is annoying.

Yes you can.

[THibben]

Yes you can.

Or you can move it to the other side.

You can download the manual on their site. It's a good manual that describes the features of this model and gives a very good POH as well.

I fly XP11 mostly now, but this one might tempt me back into P3D (particularly since it and Orbx and A2A will provide free updates for v4 coming soon...what else will I need?!).

I wonder how long the introductory price will last.

Looks nice! Add a set of straight floats and you have a sale immediately!!

It is nearly 0100 here in the uk and at 79 well past my bedtime.

Not sure when the P3D models will be release yet, maybe in the next update or on final release. Texture mapping has been changed on all models.

Milviz Facebook says 2100 EST. . And the 25th is today.
