    Don't see why you need forgiveness. You gave (constructive) criticism, which could improve the model if work was done to it. Doesn't matter who built it, nobody is perfect.

    Agreed! But Robert is a gentleman and gave a gentleman's response

    It's great to see Bill Lyon's work live on in FSX! He was ahead of his time in flight simulation! I am glad he has found another hobby he enjoys. He gave us so much!

    Hi Italo,
    It could be some time as Craig wants to get it flying as best as possible in order to do credit to Bill's creation, which I greatly admire him for.

    It will be great to fly the Silvaire once again out of KORS like in the FS9 days.
    Glad to see with this FSX native conversion and the OrbX addons that will be a reality at some point.

    I hope the Quad City Challenger II is on the "To Do" list as well, someday.
    The TravelAir too.

    All of Bill's addons just made you want to fly them over and over.
    In fact I'd break away from flying rotorcraft for a Bill Lyons FSX conversion.
    Thanks Craig!

    Thanks heaps for reviving these. I always liked flying Bill's stuff, even a/c types I didn't have any real interest in. (I practically lived in his Goose) Anyone know what happened to the FSX Mallard he was working on? Saw shots prior to FSX release -then nothing. Hope he is well and enjoying life.

    This is great news!

    I have all of Bill's FS9 planes. The Luscombe was one of my favorites along with the Travelair and the Tripacer. It is great to see some of his work migrate to FSX in full glory. Thanks to Graig and all involved in this project.
