One can not compare it to the artworks of Nick, but... ;)

For now... i think your plane is "2010winner at small GA plane category"...

not just the external/internal details, but the many addons features

walkaround -> that's meaning that you make some predefinied outside camera views zoomed to the certain parts of the plane?

it's sooooooo sexy all the way;)

((i so much happy to the Digital Aviation is live thru somehow)) :wub:

'minus duplicated picture' sorry;)

"Question about the engine damage modelling"

The plane's engine have that features that when the time is passing (flight hours build up), need maintance?

i mean 300hours/1200hours

or just registering if you do harm for it?

I dont expect "accusim features" just asking with :ph34r:

One question, is it possible to know the final product price? Will it be around 30 €?

About that. I leave it to Aerosoft to announce the prices.

Not here. As I began to work on the Katana it was unthinkable to include the whole exterior model in the virtual cockpit. There can't be clickspots on the exterior model. You will use the drawing of the walkaround check to examine the different parts of the aircraft.

Digital Aviation lives also through the CRJ project I think. ;)

There is wear that occurs during operation, wear that occurs due to maloperation and failures and damage that results of maloperation. It is a combination of different reasons that will make maintenance neccessary.

I hope that the Katana will be able to come up your expetations. Perhabs a new level for my skills but there are other complex and great add-ons out there.

The reason why not more developers make airplanes of this kind: it is an immense workload. Simple airplanes are financially more reasonable.

Marcel, what should i say, since the Do27 I know the depth of your work, i am in real aviation bussines an have a special look on that. I can only hope that this hard work in the airline dominated flightsim-world earn their respect and recognition. Most will not even recognize these significant details. I am concerned, I will recommend this product to do everyone in my circle. You've earned your so rich also for this still unreleased work already highest respect. I wish that your attitude to your work is appreciated and the price for this addon do not play a role. I feel no matter the price.

Take you time for betatesting with an advanced team, the releasedate is unimportant. People who can´t wait for the release should fly Carenado or most of the other products on the market ;-)

Respekt für deine Liebe zu "first class addons" du bereicherst den Markt extrem ;-)

You can't FLY Carenado imho: their airplanes are good looking but they lack in flight dynamics, which for me are the first priority!

:D

Was a joke, I know about that "flying textures". Not my world these developer, these productquality is 98% of the addon- market. But exactly these makes money

Cool! Marcel, what currency is the fuel price in? Can it be changed?

There is no currency and you can change the price per Liter to anything you want.

Perhabs the next project should be free and the fuel has to be paid with credits. :lol: Then it would sure not be rotax-driven, rather something that burns more fuel...

`Oil and Liqidts` should be `liquids` or better still, `fluids`.

Generally, we call it a WALKROUND check in English.

And for true operating symmetry, shouldn't the order of the selection panels more closely represent a typical `flow` sequential pattern, top-to-bottom?

And now again the well known question:

If everything goes well with the testing now, do you expect to get the Katana ready for christmas?

Or what's left to be done?
