vstudios PT17 Stearman Released Vol I (Payware)

**griphos** · July 3rd, 2012, 07:45

Thanks for the link. Nice to read one of Budd's PIREPs again. As he says, and as the president of the EAA says, who flies one all the time, they are supposed to be a handful to land; but I don't think FSX is capable of modelling the combination of tire grabbiness on pavement and high center of gravity behind the mains on taildraggers that makes them that way. I never hear of anyone ground looping their virtual planes. I know I haven't, and I've certainly done landings in the sim that would have me dragging wing tips in RL. So VS can be forgiven for inaccurate landing characteristics.

It's nice to have a good Stearman for FSX. The only thing that made me even look twice (but no more than twice) at Flight was that big beautiful yellow bird on the screenshots. This one is on my wish list. It would be nice to see some more videos of it, with sound this time.

I'm hoping we'll see some more repaints. I'd especially like to see an all grey one like the one in Flight.

I was about to do that repaint but just cannot get the layers in the paintkit to work as they should in my photoshop Elements which is odd considering i have no probs with other paintkits.

Paintkit uses layer masks, which are not supported by older Elements versions, IIRC.

I wouldn't mind slapping a few layers of paint to this bird. The only problem is, that it's still out of my reach, as the web store does not accept direct CC payment.

Oh yes, it's the dream machine. Beautiful work! This is what flying is all about.

PayPal only allows a certain number of guest payments...

I believe it is 3...

I will have to wait for another shop to sell the Stearman, as I do not want to have a PayPal account.

When I see the photos of the actual motors, they don't look anything like the sim. Does the VS model have a specific Lycoming motor model?

thx,

Thanks bushpilot. Unfortunately the download link for VH-RAC leads to N49936. Anyway I've downloaded 2 of 3 but I'd like VH-RAC too if the link can be fixed.
