Freedom Fox (Trent Palmer's Kitfox) by developer Parallel 42

Thanks for the info!

Yes, I fly it with Reverb G1, and the scale seems ok to me.

Other planes you see them correct ? itā€™s maybe related to IPD adjustment.

Sadly this isnā€™t possible yet in MSFS.
When it becomes possible weā€™ll look at how we can bring it in!

Just to clarify - and speaking personally - I think itā€™s a nice-to-have but by no means essential. Iā€™m so used to S-turning in taildraggers that if the camera ever showed up, Iā€™d have to break myself of the habit.

Butā€¦ as long as Iā€™m in the neighborhood, another customization question - is there any chance of a future small-tire version? Or would that break the spirit of the airplane (and/or require taxi, takeoff and landing behavior revisions)? Every time I see the avionics suite I think about what a nice pavement-to-pavement flyer itā€™d be.

But if not, there are plenty of other options for that. So consider it a (mostly) idle question. :sunglasses:

We really want to make Fox2 as customizable as possible but that comes with limitations to what we can do in the sim. Ideally we would want to be able to customize the aircraft like we would mod a car in Forza but as it stands today we would have to flood your sim with way too many variants of the same aircraft.

We are constantly researching how we could accomplish this kind of physical modifications as efficiently as possible while keeping compatibility with community made liveries, mods and the SDK.

Thanks for the response and no problem at all - it was a luxury request. Of course itā€™s also possible to fly pavement-to-pavement with big tires and have the comfort of knowing you can put it down in a field or on a beach or riverbank if you have to or want to.

Happy to try out any additional mods if and when you can get to them.

Continuing to have a great time with what youā€™ve already given us.

I just want the camera for turning it off and saying, this is not for real taildragger pilots :rofl:

Did you ever figure this out? I just had the same problem last night after I got the update. I could start it once but if I landed, shut down, and then tried to restart I got nothing. I even tried the quick start hot keys and Iā€™d see all the switches move but it wouldnā€™t start. Strangely if it was off and I used slew mode to get in the air the engine would magically be on when i exited slew modeā€¦

Forgot to mention, we have found an issue where the battery would discharge over time and result in blank avionics and no start power. Weā€™re preparing an update now.

Workaround is to reload the aircraft.

Great thank you!

@runshotgun Will you guys be adding some kind of a Suspension/Dampener to the main Landing gear to emulate the feel of them nice Tundra tires and KitfoxĀ“s backcountry Gear? Right now it feels super stiff and tippy to put her down a little harder or when landing on slightly rough surfaces in the bushā€¦

Also i realized the animations for the Control surfaces dont match their input, they move quicker and stop earlier on their extremesā€¦

My Freedom Fox Addon Manager is downloading another update. Wish there was a changelog ā€¦

Love to fly this one but I already shelled out almost 40 bucks for a broken one (BT) and now this one is almost 40 bucksā€¦.80 bucks is way too much for one virtual plane.
