Yeah tail wheel lock is definitely doable. The Carenado Waco YMF has it and that came out a full year ago.

Looks to me like Bill is figuring out what the sim can do - judging by his previous work and this upcoming release. It just takes time. He’ll get my money on this one - it’ll only get better after release - trust.
Yeah I followed the old thread on his Trinidad and it was quite pleasing to see how he improved it over time from a product that was got a fair bit of negative reviews to something that appears quite decent as he learned new tricks. I didn’t buy the Trinidad as the plane generally doesn’t interest me but I got a lot of fun out of some of his older FSX stuff like the Fairchild 24, Skylark and Piper Pacers and the Jungmann is a plane I am quite interested in so I’m hoping this one turns out good!

Sounds like he’s just waiting on Asobo to add this to the Marketplace. Is it going to be a Marketplace exclusive, I wonder? I have my finger’s crossed that it’s in this week’s update.
Nah, on the webpage there’s a section at the bottom listing stores it’ll be sold at but none of the links work yet as it’s ‘not yet on sale’ but it shows it’s at least not marketplace exclusive. https://lionheartsimulations.com/bucker_bu131b.html

This line on the website caught my eye:
“The Bucker Bu-131B uses a brilliant, high resolution Asobo 4 cylinder soundpack. It amazingly captures sound effects of squeaks and wind noises and things brought about by various maneuvers, ground speed actions, etc.”
It’s not exactly a dealbreaker to me but I hope it’s cheap. Not doing any custom sounds is unfortunate.
If it sounds like a C172, it is a deal-breaker for me personally. I think there is no default Asobo aircraft that sounds similar to Bu-131B judging from videos of the real aircraft.

folks are jumping at shadows again - I’m just gonna wait until it’s released and maybe look for a YT review before bailing out on it
no worries - either way

the release is imminent, awaiting validation from Microsoft

I removed my reply since it was unnecessarily defensive, but you’re right. No need for me to react too hastily, I’ll just keep my wallet firmly in my pocket until I see some reviews and hear it for myself (something I’m training myself to do since I’m a habitual day one addon purchaser

You too?.. I thought I was the only one with that problem!

I need to adjust my addon spending as well - same
So, imminent is probably a little optimistic then 
. This is the MSFS marketplace we are talking about here…nothing happens quickly.

More staff has been added to catch up with the backlog. JORG says it in the most recent twitch update. They underestimated the ability of 3PD to produce new content - remember that airports and scenery are also being added to the Marketplace in some volume

Is it available yet? I’m itching to fly it.
In todays marketplace update.
I’m looking at the marketplace right now and I’m not seeing it… has the update dropped yet?
The actual drop will be between now and the next few hours.
