Warning! A Pirate!

**empeck** · July 27th, 2009, 10:31

This is my other project, almost completed. I hope it's about two weeks to release. This is Polish sailplane SZD-30 Pirat (Pirate in English

)

This project is a bit more advanced than it seems, some1 wrote a wonderful winch that works without any fake-engines. It is still a regular glider, it is possible to use a tow plane, but alternatively you can start a flight with a winch. It's almost ready, I have to finish textures, add few geometry details, animate pilots arm, and tune flight dynamics. Hope you like it

Freeware of course. Two weeks, be sure.

Nice looking glider Empeck. I really love the gauge work you have done on it.

Real nice looking....Empeck!

I too like the look of the cockpit-guage work is outstanding!

Two weeks......I am already in line for this one

Hey Empeck-
I clicked on the link to your site and found the English one

How is the Jenny for FSX SP2?

And do you have an English version of the Forum?
Rick

Check The Good Guys Catalogue and goldmark Catalogue.

**wilycoyote4** · July 27th, 2009, 10:57

Yes, looking forward to it very much.

Sailplanes in FSX are splendid.

An overlooked part of FSX, in my opinion, so thanks go to you.

Nice!

Been out for over a year! Just drop the mdl in your Fs9 Jenny and a bit of edit on the viewpoint

Glider's looking great. I'm getting more in to gliders now vet is working in FsX!

**BOOM** · July 27th, 2009, 11:48

WOW!!! Beautiful work!!:ernae:

**empeck** · July 27th, 2009, 11:50

Thanks guys

I'm glad you like my plane.

Pirat has been exported from Poland to over twenty countries, I'd love to see few repaints after release

Here are nice English sites about this little bird:

Great to see another sailplane for FSX. No chance of a SZD-56-2 Diana 2 I suppose?

**empeck** · July 27th, 2009, 12:19

Diana is one of most beautiful Polish sailplanes. Not right now, I have too much other work, but who knows, maybe in the future...

gajit · July 27th, 2009, 12:46

Very good looking job there

**jetstreamsky** · July 27th, 2009, 12:56

Excellent, gliding in FSX is great and having detailed models for it really completes the experience.

**DaveKDEN** · July 27th, 2009, 13:00

NICE!:ernae:

**lucas81** · July 27th, 2009, 13:21

This baby is a blast. The VC (Empeck still hasn't shown you the overall detail) is incredible, equal to the panel quality. And thanks to Some1, the addon has a working glider winch, where you can set such parameters as speed or force. She is worth waiting and the relase should be pretty close.

**Nick C** · July 27th, 2009, 13:45

I've been running a few winch launches myself tonight, this looks like another worthwhile addition to the hangar.

**Scratch** · July 27th, 2009, 15:11

Dang that looks nice!!!!!

EgoR64 · July 27th, 2009, 15:13

:ernae: Yep, I do enjoy a glider Ride Once in Awhile, Great Job !!

**Dexdoggy** · July 27th, 2009, 16:09

Fantastic! I will certainly be on the lookout for this!

**Flyboy208** · July 27th, 2009, 16:35

Wow, impressive! How's the Iskra project coming along? Mike

**idancesafetydance** · July 27th, 2009, 17:08

This will be perfect for me!:ernae:

**CBris** · July 27th, 2009, 20:28

Peter Lürkens has released WinchX, which, along with CumulusX and SimProbe make for great gliding experiences-

Where? Here: http://www.luerkens.homepage.t-online.de/peter/

**empeck** · July 27th, 2009, 20:59

Thanks guys

Our winch is very similar to Peters one, but simpler. We did only winch simulation, without visuals. Our winch is available from 2d panel, and it's loaded as gauge, not external application.

Flyboy208 - you've confused me with some1 - Iskra is his baby, I'm making PZL-130 TC-I Orlik.

Here's screenshot with our winch gauge:
