Interesting! I never really liked the other one.

Which other one?
The really not good one? (Cannot remember the name from the Dev)
Or the one from Parallel42?

The only other one I’m aware of is the one from Parallel42.

There was a Kitfox released in the early days of the Marketplace by Big Tire Productions but apparently it was pretty bad. Was later removed from the marketplace. Thread about it here:

The //42 one is really good and I fly it a lot. This Series 7 is a later model, would be interesting to see how it compares.

Here is quick look

Other than the flap animation being broken(?) this thing is solid. I’m having a lot of fun in it. Looks great, feels amazing doing aerobatics.

But the pilot is missing in the outside view.
And not all switches are working.
Currently no buy from me.

That’s a pretty fundamental requirement!

I got mail form devs that there should be update version 2 available now.

  • Fixed flap animation
  • Fixed pilot weight
  • Fixed model issues around strut and wing connection

Hello there!

I am the developer of this addon.

I have received feedback from many customers, developers, and YouTubers, and have made a list of all known issues/suggestions:

  • Sound issues
  • Fuel flow issue
  • RPM display issues
  • Windows too tinted
  • Wheel pants variant to be added
  • Pilot and copilot model missing
  • More weathering on textures
  • Passenger door animation
  • 750 integration
  • Autopilot related issues
  • Airmaster Propeller controls to be made functional

I plan on getting through all of these by the end of September, after which I will submit the aircraft to the marketplace.
I will post my progress here.

Thank you!

Maybe I start to like this plane.
Sometime.
In it’s current state to much is missing and there is no love or soul in it.

17

Looking forward to further updates! I’m already a big fan of this one.

So, I have been flying this for about 24 hours and I have to say, it’s really, really good and for £12 it is incredible value. Textures are great, flight model is good. I’m really pleased I bought it. I’m not 100% sure about the viewpoint. It might be a touch high and I keep wanting to look up a bit but otherwise, this is great!
