Ty89m 0 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 So are we still on track for an April release? I know I'm chompin' at the bit here... but I can hardly wait for this bird. It'll certainly take front position in my virtual hanger!Either way, thanks again for all the hard work guys, It'll be a winner for sure!Ty89m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty89m 0 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Kenml, I appreciate the heads up, looks like were getting close now. So I'm guessing that's the boxed version available for order on the 30th. Would it be safe to assume the download will be released even sooner?

Brice 0 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Real cute Mr. Brice!Now I know who to come to if I want to see my face on the Pilot.I specify that it's a tac face, the pilot part. ^^The screenshots are from the old project and doesn´t resemble the current project at all.It's the same page since september 2007, but the picture of the e-news is this one : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K 93 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 The screenshots are from the old project and doesn´t resemble the current project at all.FinnIts that old Catalina that appears in Aerosoft adverts in PC Pilot magazine in the UK. If I thought it was that one that was coming, I wouldn't be much interested, so maybe Mathijs needs to get in contact with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackayw 0 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hi Mathijs,I recommend that you Beta Test the new PBY-5A version using Jim Dhaenens superb freeware NAS Pensacola (KNPA) scenery, or any other scenery that has a ramp down into the water. Go the the PBY hangars and ramp at the other side of the scenery and watch the default FSX Grumman G21 Goose taxi down the ramp and into the water. The new PBY should be able to transition from land to water equally well - otherwise you have a contact point problem.I really looking forward to the release.Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the PH-PBY could use a little bit more polish to make it more shiny, but it's hard to judge from a few screenshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll talk to Christiaan (the pilot of that great machine) to see how often they clean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catalina does it the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald B. 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hello,Though I have never piloted the Catalina, I have had the honor to fly as a passenger on a few and thoroughly enjoyed the experiences. I for one am looking forward to the impending release of this bird. I just hope that my aging computer will be able to handle it. For I have just been able to get MSFSX to run reasonably well and MSFS2004 to run extremely well.I guess what I'm trying to ask is, what kind of (computer) performance can we expect out of the Catalina compared to the Aerosoft F-16 or the PMDG MD-11?

Paul K 93 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Great set of screenshots, Mathijs! This really is going to be a huge success for Aerosoft and all involved.Is 'Calypso' the Catalina that was operated by Jaques Cousteau and in which his son died in a landing accident ? I know his research ship was named Calypso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Aerosoft Share Posted April 22, 2009 This image is from work in progress, keep that in mind. Still needs work on several areas, bumps, dirt maps. Right now the logo's are too bright etc. But I know there is one customer that is waiting for it. Tomorrow evening there will be 'final' shots of this Black Cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
