[njbb1995]

[icarus]

yes we have just released this:

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=1374

it will take some weeks to finish the pitts

[CG_1976]

Say do you Gents have a Sp2 Rotor available for the CG Stingray Mh-68 you made.

[icarus]

mh68 it's fs2004 only, i have tested with normal fsx no sp1 or sp2 and it works on fsx but due was not maked with fsx sdk we sell only for fs2004. We do not want unhappy people and models without fsx sdk usually are not fully compatible with sp1- sp2 and acceleration. Probably we will made an fsx sdk version later.

[kilo delta]

Ooooh..........me likey that Pitts:applause:

[BananaBob]

Aerobatics time! Nice! :applause::applause::applause:

Ah Thank You for the reply. If you build a native FSX Mh-68 you have one customer all ready in line.

[Panther_99FS]

Who do you have doing flight dynamics?
If you don't have anyone, I can recommend someone well known....:d

[icarus]

flight dinamics was the first i did some weeks ago...some weeks of test to have it flies as an Aerobatics aicraft.

[cheezyflier]

Last Skin, Japanese aerobatic team. Pitts s-2b will be on sale next week.

by the tail it says "celebrate air fest hamamatsu, 2002 to the sky"

but she cant see what is near the wing well enough to read it.

pretty cool!


here is a pic from 2005 (not a pitts though):

[Panther_99FS]

flight dinamics was the first i did some weeks ago...some weeks of test to have it flies as an Aerobatics aicraft.

If you need help, I recommend SOH's own Jerry Beckwith, otherwise known as "Sparks".

He's made quite a few payware flight dynamics not to mention he's also the creator of the "Air Wrench" flight dynamics program....

[icarus]

i know he is the best one...he is famous about it.

seems i have celebrated 6 years later...

[hews500d]

That Pitts is looking sweet! Are you going to add the locking handle to the canopy in the center above the rear instrument panel? I have some detailed drawings of the canopy if you would like PM me and I can get them to you :wavey:

Darrell

[icarus]

the modeller now is ending with gloster gladiator then will pass at boeing p26 peashooter...but i m pming you i will check draws and we can update the pitts in some weeks creating a patch eventually. Also the Gamma had 2 updates , we update always past models if possible and send warning to new and old customers about it. antispam email permitting. thanks for your attention

[icarus]

[CodyValkyrie]

I like it! I'm still waiting to catch up in bills, but then perhaps I'll get that Gamma and this will be out as well!

I love the Pitts... fell in love when I first loaded up Flight Unlimited, as well as saw one at the Hillsboro airshow when I was a kid.

[icarus]

i remember too Flight Unlimited..was the first simulator with the rain...

[CodyValkyrie]

i remember too Flight Unlimited..was the first simulator with the rain...
I don't remember as if the original flight unlimited had any weather or not. I do remember it encompassed several aerobatic planes, had a virtual FBO you could walk around and had several small photo terrains you could fly about in. The game's scope was rather small by today's standards.

Regardless, the S-2B brings back many good memories. I have always adored this plane and it is nice to see it in FSX.

[hews500d]

Very nice! Is a paintkit going to be available?

Darrell

[HELITECH]

Hi all!
Nice job icarus! can't wait!:wiggle:
What do you think about french livery?:icon_lol: http://www.pictaero.com/fr/search/search?i1=1230&a4=F-GGPS

[AlphaWhiskeyFoxtrot]

Wow Icarus...

Really looking forward to this one, I like to tell myself: "If there is ever a civilian aircraft that I would like to fly/build it would be a Pitts!"

Awsome!

-Conrad

[icarus]

Is a paintkit going to be available?

Yes it will be

[icarus]

http://www.pictaero.com/fr/search/search?i1=1230&a4=F-GGPS

i liked it...don't know if i will do now or for freeware websites, as here with free download or if someone will do it with the available paint kit...i have maked ten skins, now i have to work on the airshow scenery.

[tigisfat]

Are there plans to add a pilot to the virtual cockpit when inside? I love being able to see my own legs and hands.

How does it handle post stall? I've been waiting for a serious light aerobatic aircraft for.....EVER!!

[icarus]

Are there plans to add a pilot to the virtual cockpit when inside

no there is not pilot inside virtual.

[Quixoticish]

Just an observation but is the head a little on the large side in those screenshots? We're not talking by much, but it the pilot certainly seems to be a little... cranially challenged?

[icarus]

no is correct the head. it is the position lower on the seat that give this impression but it is all correct.

if you see in this screenshot the real head seems also bigger than ours but

http://www.air-and-space.com/20060819%20Camarillo/_BEL1072%20Pitts%20S-2B%20N260GR%20cn%205059%20left%20side%20taxiing%20 l.jpg

as you can see head it's correct.
http://www.icarusgold.com/PITTS%20SCREN9.jpg

COULD be ON SALE this weekend.....

[hews500d]

COULD be ON SALE this weekend.....


:applause::applause:

Since it's going to be cold and rainy here this weekend maybe I'll be flying a new Pitts :icon_lol:

Darrell

[icarus]

Since it's going to be cold and rainy here this weekend maybe I'll be flying a new Pitt

hoping i have to hurri for airshow scenery...if will not be friday max at saturday evening it will be. it is cold and raining also here...weather for working on models.

[heywooood]

the Pitts bi-plane is surprisingly small - when you stand next to one vs looking at a photo or video - the pilots head is proportionally correct with this model.

[hews500d]

I'm looking forward to the airshow scenery, we need more of it :wavey:

Darrell

[icarus]

Preview racers section where will be sold the Pitts s-2b, also clicking the photogallery
http://www.icarusgold.com/FS/infusions/pictureflow_gallery/pictureflow_gallery.php?album_id=19

it is active, more screenshots about the airshow scenery will be added

[hews500d]

Thanks for the link to the gallery. The Marion Cole starburst scheme (white with red/blue stripes and stars) is my favorite so far. The price looks attractive too :ernae:

Darrell

[cheezyflier]

[Fireball6]

Looks great - can`t wait to fly her :jump:

[Txmmy83]

Icarus,
first of all great work!

just a question since paypal doesn't work for me!

Darrell


I've made about a jillion of them. I can make a custom one for you as well; it only takes me about a half hour because the airshow objects are default. Just let me know what airport(s) you want airshows at, what kind of airshows and the scope.

[tigisfat]

How does it handle post stall? I've been waiting for a serious light aerobatic aircraft for.....EVER!!

I don't mean to be a pain, but I'd really like to know the answer to this one. This is the only thing preventing me from surely buying it.:kilroy:

[icarus]

first of all great work!
FSX only I think ?

yes txmmy only fsx/sp1 /sp2 and acceleration, modelled with fsx native sdk , so doesn't works on fs2004

[icarus]

will this be released through simmarket or any other online store also ?
just a question since paypal doesn't work for me!
