Lovely plane, works well in VR and it can even soar in the right weather 😀

Thanks everyone for your comments and testing.
I have now completed the Drifter. You may download the version 1.00 of the free demo here: www.antsairplanes.com/downloads/AntsDrifterDemoMSFS.zip
Alternatively there is the product page which has a download link for the demo and paintkit (I've even updated my website after over 10 years using the old format, the new screenshot gallery is nice).

The payware version should be available very soon (like the next day or two, it's currently the middle of Sunday night in Europe).
Next, onto the Tiger Moth.
thanks for the Drifter, Anthony - it's just great!
looking forward to getting your Tiger Moth when you have her ready - it was one of my regular fliers in FSX

Congratulations on your first MSFS release! Glad to have your aircraft coming to our hangars. I'll buy this as soon as it's available. Edit: Bought it!
I'm really happy this has now come to msfs, I had it in FSX and P3D and always enjoyed slow sight seeing it allowed.
With the improved msfs vfr visuals this should be a treat.

Anthony- I posted about the Drifter elsewhere, please consider removing “COMING SOON”… it may dissuade a customer.She’s really good- thanks!C
Thanks cavaricooper. I forgot to remove that bit. I have updated it now so it says AVAILABLE NOW. You might need to refresh the page though, many browsers cache the page.
Hey Mods, you edited Anthony's original post to add the SimMarket purchase link, but he sells it directly too. Maybe update the edit to point to the page on his site, which offers direct purchase (so he doesn't have to give XX% to SimMarket or Just Flight) and has the link to the other purchase sites too?

Also, the top post links to the beta demo. The final demo is here:

Hey YoYo, I just updated from the beta to the release demo, and I do NOT see the pilot in VR mode, using an HP Reverb G2 headset.
Anthony mentioned this above, in case you're not using the default VR pilot view:
...if you are creating you own edits to the cameras.cfg then make sure you include NodesToHide ="XMLVAR_PilotHidden" in the CAMERADEFINITION. That will hide the pilot in that camera.

YoYo-You will see earlier in the thread I had the same issue. I realize the position I was using was actually the passengers view. Once I dropped it down a little bit everything worked OK.HTH- C

Ok, good news, finally I know (with help of Anthony) where custom, saved views are. Here is the solution:
C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_ 8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes
There should be a folder for each aircraft so you open the antsairplanes-drifter-a-582-demo one and in there is the cameras.CFG. Open that with a text editor and then insert
NodesToHide ="XMLVAR_PilotHidden"
Now, no pilot in 2D or VR custom view! Great!
