Suddenly appeared in the Marketplace. Anybody tried it?
The first that caught me is the 3D depth of the classic gauges. Seems awesome.
I saw it yesterday too and was surprised. There are not much screenshots but they look quite good.
So then I tried looking for topics about it on the main forums but found none ![]()
I’m interested in any info. I would love to see the night lighting of the cockpit gauges too…
Just purchased,
I’m tired of the avionics issues on the Tristar, so I’m going with this, in my opinion, splendid and famous aircraft, well-known to fans.
It seems to fly well at first test, but that’s just my modest check.
I see you can also rent it so I will do that over the weekend.
This looks great!
Here in the Netherlands at EHTE we have 2 aircraft from Stelio Frati’s hand, the F22/C Pinguino
I have flown some hours with it and gosh, I wish it will come to MSFS some day.
Happy ![]()
Enjoying this plane for the most part. Only two things really irk me so far.
First, the Nav2 CDI is driven by the Nav2 radio, but for some reason is tied to the Nav1 (Garmin 430) gps/vor switch. This means that you can’t use the Nav2 CDI when using the Nav1 CDI for GPS course tracking. This is especially annoying as someone who likes to fidget with VORs while enroute using GPS (irl and in sim hahah).
Second, the canopy open/close is annoyingly tied to entering/exiting the aircraft. It’d be cool to be able to keep the canopy open while taxiing.
I think the Canopy thing is a Microsoft-mandated thing. It’s stupid.
Suggest contacting the dev on the VOR issue. Likely something they aren’t aware of.
It doesn’t have to be. With the Kodiak for instance you can open the door and sit in the aircraft for as long as you like and then there is a click spot if you want to actually get out and walk around. I wish all developers did that. The open door/instant out thing is really immersion killing.
Mr Developer, if you are reading, please let us sit on the ground with an open canopy. I’m finding it very hard to find anything else I don’t like.
Edit - and maybe headphone simulation. It’s kind of loud!
In a previous life I flew homebuilts, and I always loved the Falco. I am really enjoying this one! Many Thanks!!
Yeah… opened canopy while taxiing.
I’ve seen Italian F-4 Tornado’s doing that during an airshow.
Meanwhile some pilots were smoking sigarettes ![]()

Here’s the developer’s support page. I don’t have this yet, but it’s on my “to buy” list and I’m with you on the open canopy!
I picked this up at the weekend …great fun, and love the steam gauges.
Not sure if its real, but I do find that there is no change to the engine noise when you chop the throttle in flight back to idle …might be realistic, but I was expecting a sound drop from the engine?
Any repainters out there?
