Nigel Richards' Avro 621 comes to P3Dv4 !!

[Javis]

Yessir! It's true! Nigel's amazingly gorgeous freeware Avro 621 has just been released for FS9 and FSX as port-over but already has been turned into FSX native, subsequently P3Dv4 compatible. The conversion has been impeccably done by good Sir Ulrich. You can grab your copy here : http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/114168-AVRO-Project-621-and-621-Trainer-FSX-port-over-uploaded!?p=1170586&viewfull=1#post1170586

No words can really describe the sheer beauty of Nigel's work of art, seeing and hearing it for yourself is the only word. 4 pictures may the tell.

Can't get enough of it, naturally.. :loyal:

(that's also because the VC, the sound suite, and the flightmodel are works of art in itself as well. And it's all "Liefdewerk oud papier" as we say here in Holland (a Labour of love)).

What amazing news!

I've been following up the development of this beauty. When I saw the FSX port over I though what a pity it is that we could not run it in P3D. All that is changed now! What a joy!:applause:

Many thanks to Nigel and Ulrich for this wonderful gift!

[scotth6]

It really is a work of art.

Great work Nigel and Ulrich and thanks very much!

[scotth6]

A few pics from my first flight. This is a magnificent plane. I love the sounds, as well as everything else about it.

Sweet shots Adam! I can't believe how good this plane is. I was just flying it around and thinking this is the kind of plane I could tour a country in.

[nigel richards]

This truly is a an unexpected treat seeing the AVROs in this AWESOME sim.

Many, many thanks to Ulrich for most kindly converting the models and providing P3D users Access to the AVROs sooner than expected.

I must say I'm highly inspired by the high quality rendition of the models in P3D - the lighting and self-shadowing on the aircraft is superb.

Καλή Χρονιά φίλε! :-)

Dimus, I was hoping you'd be here - as you may know, Greece was by far AVRO's largest export customer for the AVRO 621 Tutor (to be released at the end of this week). Eventually Tutors and Sea Tutors were licence built by the Greek National Aircraft Factory (KEA), and served from 1936 - 1940. 4 aircraft escaped to Egypt during the occupation, where they continued in their role as trainer aircraft.

Greek liveries will be included in AVRO 621 Tutor, 626 Prefect, and 646 Sea Tutor aircraft packages.

It really is a work of art.

I'm always amazed at the talent out there in the FS community - and how generous people are with their time.

You just have to look at the back of the pilot's head to see how much detail has been put into this Avro. It's a joy to "fly"!

One word, great! many thanks for a wonderfull gift.

[blanston12]

I gave her a test flight last night and was very impressed. Great quality and only issue i could see is the tail light was a bit big but that’s a common issue with FSX aircraft in P3d, the only thing I could ask for is more view points so you can see that fully functional front cockpit.

T43:
The Tutor is an advanced and refined cowled development of the 621 trainers. During its era it formed the mainstay of many Air force's training schools.
It forms the core of the AVRO Project.

So far I only have the six FSX portover models and 12 colourful liveries for the AVRO Tutor.

But, as I think you have said, we do live in hope...

[Ganter]

Wanted to add my thanks.
She flies like a dream with looks to match.

Wonderful work.

[Twice43]

One of the delights of flying the Native Tutor is the working undercarriage.
I generally takeoff using a spot view in behind the tail & have noticed that if you feed the throttle in steadily, there is a slight downward dip of the left wing tip as torque kicks in, then it comes back up again. It is subtle, but it is there.
Also, landing on uneven ground - I can see the undercarriage compressing as it takes the load & releasing as the load comes off.
All in all, just a couple of many fine details that have gone into this excellent rendition.

As another option for landing, I have used my faithful EZ Dock to map 2 taxying views...

Peering out the left side-

...and the right-
https://i.imgur.com/CjFaaxs.jpg

This is GREAT fun peeking out to the left and right, when trying to find a grass strip such as the one at Goheen.... I was here last in my beloved Annuschka. If you peer through the struts now, you can just see the lads shoving off for some fishing. Maybe if I get her tied down and then I can hop in and charm a couple of Bream on to the hook...

https://i.imgur.com/1RGwhbH.jpg

This aeroplane has definitely gotten my attention, and once Ulrich is done fiddling with the Tutor, that will make the short list as well. I'm having so much fun side slipping this thing in, that I'm thinking about hooking up the TrackIR again. The last time I used it and enjoyed it was at Biggin in the RealAir Spit... This freeware is fantastic- be sure to explore the added controllability at low speed with the slats (called slots) open!

Hey Nigel, technically the moving surface is a slat, the space between wing and the moving surface that is created by the slat deploying is the slot. (I do get paid to know this stuff in my day job :jump:)

Pete-

Yes, but in this Avro they are referred to as "Slots"- not usual, however, I ASSUMED Sir Nigel chose to model what the real aircraft had as a placard... terminology has evolved over the last 80 odd years... currently, I agree they would be called Slats.....

Yes, technically speaking Pete is spot on with the terminology.

Will also incorporate 'cold - dark - parked' pilot visibilty as requested by some users.

Hopefully we'll also have a paintkit ready for Easter.
Incredible work. This Avro series must surely win the freeware Oscar as it is - yet it's about to get even better!!! :redfire:

Adam.

This old girl ALWAYS makes me smile and relax at the end of a long day in the Salt Mines. Today, I loaded the first beta for AS P3D and ASCA in P3D v4.5 HF3 (there's a mouthful) and decided the best way to check out the improvements would be to go to a bit of the world that has Wx galore... Innsbruck. What better ride to see all the sights, and delight in pure aerodynamics. Nigel- this aeroplane is brilliant- even in a very up to date sim. I haven't made the change to v5, but v. 4.5 with the new ASCA is doing a pretty good job of visible air... nicht?

Danke Nigel!

I started out by wanting to check out the new Wx program, and ended up drooling all over the aeroplane- just a perfect location, for a perfect aeroplane!

If you're stuck at home- spend time in the Tutor- you won't be sorry!

Hi, I get file not found from Mediafire when I follow the links, are they available elsewhere?

I was relaxing in Nigel's Tutor this evening with a short St. Maarten/St. Bart's and back. Slipping on at Juliana, I went outside for a peek and I saw this-

Now, this is in P3D v4.5 HF3, and there's so much, so very right about this photo, that I can't stop staring... perhaps some of you will appreciate it too. Couple that with a most relaxing and picturesque flight, and this has altogether been a very civilized way to tuck her in for the night, and turn in myself.

Bravo Nigel, she still does you and the team PROUD!

PS- just re-found the compass fix, so I will put that in before I put her away for the evening.

Thanks for that, regards Mark

Has anyone heard from @Nigel Richards?

It has been a while since I saw him here, and haven't received a reply to a PM which is unusual as well. With all the goings on worldwide, I'm a bit worried and would very much appreciate at least knowing all is well.
