I’ve been waiting for this baby for a long time - so excited to see it finally arrive! Share your thoughts here! I tried it on my “first impressions” stream last night with a quick flight around NYC, with landings in the Hudson and elsewhere. She handles beautifully and I’m already in love. Loves:…

Oh man you’re right! It works great! Quickly tuned it in after spawning cold and dark on the ramp before I turned the engines on. Definitely the engine noise. I also didn’t know about the headphone mode setting. Such a peaceful vibe haha! Did a couple of touch and goes at the field - caught the suns…

@DriestKnight746 Great, thanks for checking. Yeah, I don’t recommend using the headphone mode for actual flying, as a lot of nuance in the sounds gets lost or mangled a bit. Turning the engines down is the best way. Cheers.

@Ramasurinen I’m not only a sucker for bush flying, for which the Albatross works surprisingly well, but also for camper van life. Now, looking at the little kitchen in the G111 I almost fainted out of delight. This plane is the best of both worlds - remote camping (even on water, lol) and flying. …

[image] Ramasurinen: As for the nose bubble being added to the G-111, that is on the wishlist, but I have to be upfront and say that it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Seems to me it might be easier to bring the G-111 panel back into the HU-16, but I’m not a dev so that’s just a guess. An…

[image] kaha300d: Does the Albatross have oxygen for such a long time? Hi @kaha300d . I moved your post into this topic in order not to derail the SU5 feedback topic. In real life? The one website I checked listed the service ceiling as 21,500 ft, so this suggests that some aircraft (possibl…

@SmotheryVase665 @kaha300d Yes indeed, all the original military fitment Albatrosses (at least in US service) had two separate diluter demand oxygen systems, one for the crew and another for passengers. The passenger system had double the capacity of the crew one. There was sufficient oxygen on boar…

Great aircraft, fly it far more than others in 24’, thanks for taking the time to make this aircraft better and better, don’t see this commitment from devs enough. [0571648]

How did you get/make that zoom in ‘binocular’ view? That was awesome!!

That’s a function of Chase Plane by Parallel 42.
