New release : Aerolite 103

Erm, pull back on the stick :grin:

Trim neutral? Full powah? Follow start up procedure if cold & dark start?

Turns out my braking issue is caused by my CH Products pedals dying on meā€¦ wish I could disable the sound though, itā€™s outrageously annoying, Thankfully putting parking brakes on gets rid of it so I only have to hear it on taxi and rollout :laughing:

I bought it today. CouldnĀ“t resistā€¦
And I have to say: I love it.
It flies and looks nicely.
The only ā€œcomplaintsā€ I have is that the pilot does not hold on to the yoke, as it is the standard pilot from MSFS. And the motor sound is nerveracking, most likely just like the real one. I chose headphone simulation in options-general-sound. ItĀ“s ok then.

After reducing the weight of the pilot to 8lb :slightly_smiling_face:, the aircraft flies stable and is also easy to control. Something must be wrong with the weight calculation.
So itā€™s fiun to fly.
An own pilot model would be nice. And a revision of the motor sound and the brake noise would be great.

I have installed the payware addon east frisian islands and when i get with the aerolite in the area of the airports i have an CTD. Frames are at 30-40 at his moment and settings are on medium. Itā€™s only with the aerolite. Does someone have an idea or solution why this could be?

So I bought this last nightā€¦ Under weight setup it showed Center of Gravity being off until I reduced pilot weight to about 10 lbsā€¦ But when I actually started the flight, the aircraft was sitting on its tail because of that. I then increased the weight back to 175 lbs, and the aircraft was then nicely balanced. I was able to take off and land just fine.

Also, cold and dark needs a fix. Itā€™s not actually cold and dark cause most switches are on. Parking brake is disengaged so it begins rolling right after pressing Fly Now

@Finnro: No problems with East Frisian Islands here. But I only did one flight.
@BostonJeremy77: I thought there was no parking brake on the real Aerolite. But I just found out there is one in the sim. Interesting.

I also noticed the turn and slip indicator and the throttle both move in the wrong direction.

Dear 3rd party devs that are transitionning to MSFS : yā€™all need to calm the heck down with the prices. This generation of sim has attracted the general public and those guys are not interested in addons stupid expensive. And for us, long time simmer, weā€™re a double click away from flying our already fleshed out addon collection in the sims we were flying before MSFS. Combined to how unstable MSFS and the SDK currently is, Iā€™m telling you, Iā€™d buy a 5-10ā‚¬ AĆ©rolite even if it risks breaking every other week when MSFS updates, but I 100% am not buying 20ā‚¬ barebones Ultralites and BlĆ©riots.

Wake up.

Also, it seems this developer is not responsive. Forums are silent - people are saying they donā€™t provide support. I posted on their FB page thread about the release and not even an acknowledgement.

If you release a new product for a new simulator, youā€™d figure these guys would be on top of stuff, like Iris with Jabiru, IndiaFoxtEcho with Long-EZ and 339, Wing42ā€™s excellent Bleriotā€¦ With these guys it seems to be cricketsā€¦

These last two purchases (Aerolite from Nemeth and MC Cri Cri from AT Simulations) are starting to leave a sour taste in my mouth with some of these developersā€™ lack of prompt responses and support. Donā€™t you care about your new products? If I released something like this, Iā€™d be all over FB and the Official Forums just seeing what people are experiencing, etcā€¦

If these trends do not reverse, these will be the LAST aircraft I purchase from them.

Thanks KrasserAndy

So it must be an problem with my pc and the configuration.

Can anyone who owns this comment on the texture resolution? Iā€™m interested but one video I saw looks like the textures are super low in the cockpit.

Textures look fine, I donā€™t have any issue with those.

Hello everyone
I have also bought the Aerolite 103
I like this model but I think they have to improve many things
Improvements: they have to improve the textures, the seams of the fabrics and the switches are not well appreciated, also the sound of the engine, The Flaps do not work in this model and act as flaperons.
With the arrival of VR to MSFS flying this model will be a lot of fun but needs improvement.
The flight of the Aerolite 103 seems correct to me but it is difficult for it to gain height.
So much fun to fly.

I used to enjoy flying it around San Francisco in X-Plane.

I have also flown a lot with the X-Plane 11 model, in X-Plane 11 if the Flaps work
It is a very fun model but needs to improve

Seems a bit strange looking down in the cockpit view and not seeing a 3d pilot animatedā€¦for the price i would of expected that at leastā€¦shame as it looks reasonably ok though a bit priceyā€¦but sadly the immersion factor is destroyed as soon as you look down and see you donā€™t exist! Come on devs stop being lazy! 3D pilots in Virtual cockpit mode is a must in certain aircraft!

On some landings the Aerolite ā€žsinksā€œ into the runway. No other airplane did that until now.
Anyone of you had that?
