Cheers guys. Thanks for the input, much appreciated.
Is this pretty well-done in terms of systems and performance?
It is.
Mr. Trent Palmer was and is in close touch to the devs.
And he assures that the FS-2020 Freedom Fox is as close as possible to his Freedom Fox

Not many systems to speak of, itâs a very simple aircraft. One thing I noticed: in the sim the fuel pump buttons are connected. Switching on either one also switches on the other. In the real thing the fuel pumps are independent, as you can see in Trents recent âhow to steal my planeâ video.

Yeah not much in the way of systems really, just flip some switches, hit the starter and away you go. Some nice details though such as the door fluttering in the wind if you open it during flight and then if you go a bit too fast with it open youâll experience a bit of a shock.

The problem IMHO is the G3X, which is really weak, even with the WT mod version 0.1. Otherwise the plane is gorgeous and flies very well!
Now imagine something like this with real old school instrumentation instead of those unreadable pads. In IRL flying I feel the same.

The default Savage Cub is good for that. Thereâs a nice mod for it that tweaks the flight model and performance to more closely match the real deal without going overboard by adding monster engines etc Asobo Savage Cub Realism Mod » Microsoft Flight Simulator
Wouldnât mind an option for traditional instruments for the Fox 2 though but thatâd probably require some extensive reworking by //42, but Iâm pleased with what they offer already.

Thanks, will try the mod. Anyway planes of this category need few readable instruments to serve their purpose. In the sim I fly only in VR and choose the Fox for its visibility from the cockpit. Like it as it is too, even if I have trouble reading the speed.
Default Pipistrel is great too but the wing spar somehow obstructs me to choose the right place for my âheadâ. In IRL I fly an Alpha, which is pretty much the same.

While reviewing the Freedom Fox and the Fox 2 we discovered that it is impossible to interact with the âStarting Powerâ switch in the Standard Cockpit view with the X-Box controller.
In the Instrument Panel view, however, it is possible to operate the âStarting Powerâ switch.
@runshotgun : You are aware of this? Is there a patch planned?

We have noticed that issue and corrected it for the next update. Sadly we donât know when that update will become available to everyone since itâs in the hands of Microsoft.
Strangely, it is possible to interact with the switch when using the Instrument cameras.

Many thanks for the quick answer on a Saturday.
You guys rock 
So I relented and got this. Pleased that I did. Itâs got far more substance than the Asobo ultralights. It just âfeelsâ better. More weight to it. And you can really feel the power of that rotax engine. Itâs incredible how little space it needs to take off. Seemingly less than 100 feet, most of the time.
I was a little sceptical over the price but it really is worth the money for what you get, you can see the work thatâs gone into it. Great job.

@PluckyUnderdog is this your only payware bush plane? if not, how does it stack up? just curious - iâve had my eye on it for a while but i already own the SWS C701 Zenith so i am having a hard time justifying it.
Well the Kodiak is another one I have which is technically a bush plane, but this is very unique in terms of itâs handling, and performance. Takes off in an incredibly short distance, it just feels better and is far more satisfying and fun to fly than any of the Asobo offerings. The Zenith is something I canât comment on but Iâve heard itâs excellent so to be honest if youâre after a well-made ultralight I donât think you would go wrong with either.
This is honestly really good though, worth the ÂŁ25 in my view.

Iâve been watching Trentâs videos and the throttle seems to turn clockwise and counterclockwise as well as the normal in and out motion. What does this control (prop?) and is it implemented in the sim?
I own both and like both of them for different reasons. The Zenith is good for hand flying and having a nose wheel makes for easier short landings. Itâs downfall is the lack of an autopilot and itâs difficult to trim out. The result is that while itâs fun to hand fly, it doesnât give you any break. Want to take your hand off the stick to take a drink of water? Better be fast.
As for the Freedom Fox, it has AP, and a load of options through the installer. I find myself flying it more than the Zenith, mostly because of the AP/trimming issue the Zenith has. Hand flying is great and most would say thatâs the point of these, but you should be able to remove your hands for small intervals without the plane getting out of sorts.

Itâs a throttle lock that prevents unintended movement of the throttle IRL. Its action is not not modeled in the sim. If you zoom in on the throttle, the lock / unlock direction is printed on the front of the nob.
This plane is well worth its price and is currently my go-to aircraft for fun VFR flights in VR. It challengs you to try to land in stupid places, so be ready for you crash count to increment until you thoroughly learn the aircraftâs limits.

Iâd like to add that flying the //42 KitFox in VR is absolutely awesome. It has prompted me to start buying up airport add-ons to further enhance the experience. Of note are Creative Meshâs airstrips in Idaho, USA. These airstrips offer stunning scenery while you follow valleys and rivers along the way from strip to strip.

Many thanks mentioning the Blue Meshâs airstrips.
Think I need to open the vallet
