Realair Lancair Legacy out

If this Legacy is an indication and measurment of RealAir's 'stuff' now.....their 172 will be nothing short of excellent.

Have you tried cycling the sounds by pressing "Q" ?

Other than that I'm stumped... perhaps shoot an email over to Rob and see if he's got any suggestions?

Well - i tried to resist rushing to buy this but as its a realair product which stands for great quality i gave in and am predictably delighted with my investment - well done Rob and team

I have to agree with all thats been said, great plane and pushes Realairs standards even higher.

However if I was really critical I would say that some of the instruments look dated, for example the altimeter. They are the same as were in the Duke and don't look right in the Lancair. If possible I would like to have seen one similar to the SF260 instead.

Right now to take her for a spin again. This time with more recovery height than I did yesterday. Took too long to fill in that hole.

I think they look great - it's an experimental plane so you'll find a wide variety of panels in the real world. Plus I prefer big analogue gauges because for IFR flight.

Hello Folks,

Anybody using A2A Shockwave light ? just need the settings for the landing lights.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

YR - These are the settings I used, however, I never could get them working correctly. (too bright) Also.....for some odd reason, my GPS wouldn't work with the lights......Weird. Anyway, if you get it working, let me know.

light.10 = 5, -2.40, -3.75, -0.80, fx_Shockwave_landing_light // Shockwave light
light.11 = 5, -2.40, 3.75, -0.80, fx_Shockwave_landing_light // Shockwave light

Cheers,

I saw in RealAir's FAQ's page that a Paint Kit will be released at a later date........but couldn't resist slinging some paint around this weekend. What a wonderful little plane...........just like all the other RealAir Aircraft!!!! (smile)

In my humble opinion...........they are the best in the GA department!!!!!!

I think it was Another developer that had a Lancair called "Plum Crazy" or something like that..............here's my take on the RealAir Version, since I'm plum crazy about this plane!!!!! (smile)

Just finishing up with this one, however, still tweaking here and there.

Cheers,

Will these two repaints be available for download?

***ryanbatc*** · June 11th, 2012, 14:47

Wow those are sharp! The purple one is interesting lol!

I really like the 2nd paint. Well done.

SH - Eventually......however, I'm still tweaking here and there.

I post my repaints over at OZx download areas, however, I won't post anything until after RealAir Simulations releases their paintkit. I may have painted things that will not be part of the paintkit; i.e., interior stuff..... and that can't be released as the painted version until I get approval from RealAir........or I decide to leave it out. Hope you understand.

If I start putting stuff out there that's not part of the "Official" paintkit........then when folks have problems etc., RealAir catchs all the junk from my screw-up. (smile)

Once I post, I'll add a note here also........by then, I may have a couple more ready.

Cheers,

I think the original "Plum Crazy" paint scheme was on an Eaglesoft Product. I think it was on their Lancair Columbia 400. Of course, that airplane, the real one, is now a Cessna product.

You have my curiosity piqued! What 357th do you mean? I flew for the 357th AS years ago so I am certain you mean back from the World War II era when they flew among other aircraft the P-51D, correct?

Just wanting to see if you have some other personal connection to that unit?

Back in the day, I always thought this aircraft was one of the most beautiful ever designed, and perhaps is the most beautiful designed for general aviation. It is a single engine speed demon! I am currently downloading this aircraft and am very much looking forward to giving it a go.

If RealAir captures the look, feel, sounds, and flying performance of the real aircraft, then this will be an enviable experience in FSX!

Wow! Very well done RealAir and Robert Young! I am very impressed by this airplane. The look and feel of it are truly special. The FDE has given me a highly realistic and positive experience. Little nuances like the dynamics of the vibrations inside the cockpit and the stall shudders are most well done! Stall characteristics are very realistic. The amount of p-effect and torque on takeoff roll requires a very realistic degree of rudder input in a manner that strikes me as fully realistic with a single engine high performance aircraft. It is not as much as with a high performance piston twin such as I am familiar with, but certainly more than I need for my Skyhawk and that seems like a plumb nailed result to me!

I am curious whether RealAir had the luxury of an actual Lancair Legacy owner to test the FDE and systems? Because it would not surprise me at all that they did and that having such a valuable input they truly listened and sweated the details to get it all right!

The integration of any Reality XP GNS 530 or 430 which you may have onhand is seemless and highly effective using the RealAir menu interface which pops up after initial installation to give you a chance to customize your aircraft. I chose all the most realistic settings except for castoring nosewheel as I find that many builder might opt for a direct linkage for nosewheel steering anyway and directional braking in FSX has always been way too twitchy compared to the real world.

If anyone is sitting on the fence then I highly recommend you get off the fence and purchase this aircraft. In my view it is well worth the price and well worth your time.

This is again a very well designed and crafted virtual aircraft for FSX!
