Hello all.
So the release date for the Cr1 Aeronca is Dec 15 2019. Its late due to Thomas and his wife losing one of their kids in a tragic and horrible accident. It is great to see Thomas pick up the torch and soldier on as in his words "You can let this crappy world roll over you and you can just lay there and cry about it, or you can get up and fight the god dam basturds!"
So because of that reason he missed the planned release of the Aeronca, but no worry folks it is so beautiful and so well built you wont be upset for long. I can tell you a few facts, It will be released on steam for fsx acceleration steam version. On the Cr1 site it will be out for the steam version, FSX SP 2 stand alone version, acceleration, and Prepare 3d v 4.4 and onward.
It comes in many many variants and it has some very good pop up instrumentation like a GPS and stuff like that, New sounds, and the modeling has been updated in 3d max 2019 and Maya 2019 for animations. He has considered the old customers that now own the 1st beta and hasn't changed the texture mappings so that any/all of your custom paints will still be able to go on this one with NO modification. It has 3 new gauge sets including a new modern set like in a Cessna 172 or something. That too has been designed so you can set any of the Aeronca gauge set into any plane you want in the Aeronca series and literally make a custom interior of your liking. It has a very nice easy to use paint kit as well. With A whole book of a read me ...lol.. I hate read me docs.....lol!
I have been flying the heck out of it the last week as is the rest of the beta squad as its FD tweek week...so hundreds of hours of testing going into the FD right now. Its a very fun to fly little plane.
Its a real beauty.
I will share some nice videos pretty soon on it.
And also the new Ford Tri-Motor will be coming your way a few months after the Aeronca release, then either the Do 335 or the new Mosquito. I don't know which of those two will come 1st. They are history making add ons those ones and I can tell you they are the most intense add ons I have ever seen and I have them all!
SO.... we are in for a heck of a Treat with those coming up!
With the circumstances as they are Tom has a 5 member team now to help him get the add ons out faster for you guys. I think that was a wise move on his part as he really needs a hand. They are real game designers and real game programmers so the add ons are going to go right over the top now.
Ok all, That's it for now will be back in a week or so with a big fat video for you!
CHEEEEOOOWWW!
