Avia 56 FSX Native - Wheels, Floats, Amphib, Skis

[Milton Shupe]

Next in line for FSX Native conversion well in progress.

We have wheels, floats, amphibs, and skis in both passenger and cargo configurations.

Here are some shots of the wheel and floats versions WIP.

OH Yessssssssssssss :jump::jump: :applause: :applause:

Pete.

[Milton Shupe]

LOL Pete.

Yup, these are great hand-flyers, torque-y engines, no bad habits, even the water friendly versions.

Love how after take off initial climb-out, you can just pull the throttle back a bit, coarsen the prop pitch and you can feel the torque lurching you ahead. :-)

Great sounds and liveries by the Man himself, Nigel, and some great paints by Matt Wynn.

Great Milton. I'm a big fan of your Avia series.:encouragement:

[Taco]

Yep! I is ready!:wiggle:

Great Milton. I'm a big fan of your Avia series.:encouragement:

Yes, as I recall, it was because of you that this series was done due to a pic you posted of the Avia 51 that really impressed me.

The whole Avia series will be converted in due time.

[jamminjames]

Yes Sir!!!!!

Another gem coming back on our sim...
Thanks :)

Down to the last model to convert, the amphib cargo version.
Lots of models involved in the four packages so a bit time consuming.

Ah, thanks ... conversion is completed. Now time to go over all the details to see what needs to be corrected. Things are looking good.

Unfortunately, I have no bump/spec maps to enhance appearances but I have included neutralized bumps/specs and the materials support and capability to add them.

I really like the Fishing Buddies scheme. :)

I really like the Fishing Buddies scheme. :)

Me too Sundog. Nigel created that and also a variant for the Avia series honoring our friendship and partnering on projects.

Now that I know that, that just makes it better. :very_drunk:

I have completed testing and now am packaging the Avia 56 series to upload, by day's end hopefully.

[MrZippy]

Looking good, Milton! No rest for the wicked, not even on Sunday??:wavey:

[Milton Shupe]

Uploaded in the darkness of night. :-)

Enjoy.

Love it, Thanks!

Deleted, after a long day putting up X-mas decorations with SWMBO I can't seem to test anything correctly.

[PeteHam]

Thank you Milton & Team :applause: :applause: :applause:

It's another truly magnificent creation.

Pete.

A new lease of life...!

Haven't flown this since my FS9 days! Thank you Milton and all those originally involved.

(now, if only there were a tundra version... :) )

:jump: Dear Milton and Avia team... another fine gem from the masters. This wonderful creation took me out of my comfort zone and put me on my toes. One gets used to the luxury of flaps and buckets of power up front. It's like getting nipped by a strange dog. You stop and say to yourself, " I should have expected that. That was stupid on my part." You brought back the feel of real stick, rudder and power. I just mentioned in another thread, try this on Falcon409's N30 with a slight crosswind. You WILL pay attention..if you don't want to bend it. Great job on FDE, textures and most definitely the sound. Not sure that Jake was as powerful as it sounds, but it does sound BIG. Thanks again to all of you for bringing this jewel to life......Great Job! Terry

[Sundog]

This is definitely a great flyer; floater too. ;)

[Duckie]

I always thought Nigel's metal finish on "Fishing Buddies" was one of the best ever in FS9. Thanks for paying it forward Milton!

[delta_lima]

Thanks for converting these, Milton.

There's a few models and a few schemes I never knew about from the FS9 days - so a really nice surprise!

[jamminjames]

Thanks for this one Milton! Great work as always....

[Milton Shupe]

Thanks for the comments and encouragement. :-)

I just sent off the tundra, ski, and float base cargo version variants to Andre so he can get his texture magic going. :-)

I still have other variants yet to be completed.

Making good headway. :-)

EDIT: LOL I see I posted this message in the wrong thread; was referring to the Fleet 50K here. Sorry. LOL

[PeteHam]

Tundra ..... YAY :jump:

It just keeps getting better ….. round engine, tailwheel, cargo …. and fat tyres :applause:

Pete

[Milton Shupe]

Uhhhh, yes ... that would be these here 'uns.

BTW, this is a very forgiving aircraft whether on tires, floats or skis. It just handles what you throw at her, save the tailwheel.
She'll be great in the bush or outback.

EDIT: If you are confused by this post, I apologize. I posted the earlier comment thinking I was in the Fleet 50 K thread.

Dear All, dear Uncle Milton

Bit strange question

There is an FSX native Avia 57 Float.
Is there an wheeled version too FSX Native ?
At least I cannot find it

Very best regards

Roland

( after last FSX crash had to move to P3DV 4.4 which only accepts FSX Native ( and there not all))

Hello Roland, very nice to see you again. :wavey:

The Avia 57 is on the list to be converted to FSX native after my current Works In Process project.
Should be available around the end of March.

Thanks for your interest.

[thunder100]

Thank you Milton

Sounds stunning

All the best

Roland
