I’ve been waiting for one of these for a long time. Fantastic!
No botching this if done correctly! I do have to confess though this is completely done in VR and with a full motion simulator and a professional. Let the testing commence!
Available now on Hangar Studios 713 Website
Submitted for ingestion to Marketplace for PC and XBOX should be available in this weeks update if all goes well.
Special Announcement for XBOX owners with an exclusive with the Super Decathlon purchase -
Just bought it and killed my virtual self by doing aerobatics. At too low an altitude in Austria, when I should have gone to bed an hour ago. I was just setting myself up for failure.
But wow! This is your best-looking plane so far by leaps and bounds, and wow, what an epic flight model. If it flies this well under FS2020, it’s gonna be crazy cool if you’re able to amp it up even further in FS2024. (Not that I found any maneuvers lacking fidelity!)
Anxious to dive in more tomorrow!
I’m happy you are enjoying it! I too found myself just getting lost in time into trying out new maneuvers. The Super Decathlon truly is my best work of art so far. In the line of Developer evolution maybe this is my breakout aircraft. I have plans for this plane as well for 2024. IRL it is a tow plane and a banner tow and maybe another variant of design can break out into the bush??? I’ll just leave it at that. Have a great day and enjoy your new toy
Thanks for your support!
Just a few days ago I saw a Citabria (YU-CAT) towing a banner in Croatia where I am on vacation. Beautiful plane, and sounds good as well!
When I saw all the announcements for MSFS 2024 I was sure I would not buy another plane this year. But the Super Decathlon is very tempting
All I can say is dang this thing is fun! Beautiful visuals with some of the best smoke I’ve seen. Only did a few rolls and loops, when it comes to aerobatics, but felt solid. This thing can roll!!
Looking forward to spending some time in it this afternoon and really getting to grips with some maneuvers.
Great job @B4Gunner ! You keep knocking it out of the park with each release!
I’ve enjoyed the flights I’ve taken thus-far with the Decathlon. With the prop turned-up, it does snap rolls and hammerheads quite well. Great work all around! Speaking critically, I’ve noticed that the dynamic registration on the fuselage acts as a light emitter, which would be nice to see fixed, and I’ve also noticed a number of the paint schemes where the external textures appear to be quite blurry up-close - some are better than others. The modeling inside and out, the normal maps, and the interior textures all look superb. The state-saving is a really nice touch, and I’ve noticed when the engine is getting too hot by all of the steam that starts pouring out of the exhaust.
What farm might that be?!
I think it is: Circle B Ranch

Correct. I don’t usually buy small airports like this outside of my home area, but the level of details and number of easter eggs in this one is awesome, and the price is pretty low.
Bought for the barn, but keep flying there for everything else.
I made a little something for those of you who want to learn some maneuvers the Super Decathlon is capable of performing not only in real life, but in the simulator now as well
This is also on my main website on the very bottom of the Super Decathlon tab
The Super Decathlon is now officially available on the Marketplace!

So much fun! I’m having a blast. Maybe we can get some screenshots with some spectacular shots in the weekly contests. This isn’t mine, but a user posted this in my Discord, thought I would share!
This whole thread is bringing back fond memories of Flight Unlimited. Love to see it!
Just curious, has anyone managed to consistently 3 point land the super decathlon? I haven’t flown a super but have a standard decathlon and with the stick back it settles into a 3 point touchdown all wheels at the same time. In this it never gets to the 3 point attitude…dropping on the mains and bouncing the tail, wheelers are almost impossible as the mains feel just a touch too stiff…??
